This thread is designed for people who don't mind paying a small fortune to watch a film (including snacks). Not everyone wants to underpay for something when they can pay over the odds and brag about it to their mates. Now can we please stop with the negativity towards the overpriced facilities that gentrification provides for working class neighbourhoods. Now who wants some popcorn? Anyone?

I don't particularly like the cinema myself. But I usually go down to Beckenham odeon if I do see something I fancy watching on the big screen, nice change of scenery, pop into Nandos for some peri peri chicken beforehand. I do believe cinemas are missing a trick by not offering more variety and competitive pricing but I'm not that fussed about it either way. When I was a kid Peckham had 5 cinemas and ED had an Odeon. Now that's what I call choice!


Louisa.

Right we had the gaumont on Peckham high street/queens road. The tower cinema on rye lane. The odeon? Where the job centre is near Burger King in Peckham. Let me keep thinking there's definitely two I'm missing out here.

But fussed enough to start yet another disparaging thread.

Since when was this thread disparaging? The aim was create a positive space for people who are sick of all the other negative threads on the forum about this cinema chain.


I'm sick of hearing people moaning about people who make countering threads against those in other threads moaning about gentrified cinema chains. Give it a rest! Rah how about you start a thread about people like me making threads about people moaning about our new cinema? Have we come full circle yet? Happy Saturday everyone!

But oddly quids you don't respond to the other 50 odd threads covering the same topic of the picturehouse, going over the same old ground in sections of the forum they shouldn't even be in (which I am actually mocking in this here thread)


But as I said in the honey thread, why let that get in the way of anything?


Quick it's flying over your head, turn before it disappears... Quick! ... Damn you missed it. Looks like the sense of humour spacecraft was missed. Better luck next time!

Neither . It was The Capitol.

History of the Capitol cinema here.


http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/2428


"the Capitol Cinema was built in 1928-9 for London & Southern Cinemas and designed by noted cinema architect and garden designer John Stanley Beard.

It opened on 11th February 1929 with John Gilbert in ?Man Woman and Sin?. As the cinema was designed for silent movies, sound equipment had to be installed soon after opening. It originally had a Compton 2Manual/8Ranks theatre organ which was opened by Edgar Peto. There was also a cafe for the convenience of patrons. The stage was 22 feet deep and with three dressing rooms it allowed for variety shows to be staged.

It was taken over by Associated British Cinemas(ABC) from July 1933 and they operated it for the remainder of its cinematic life."

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
