parking at peckham plex?

[Alabama]

hi, does anyone know what the parking is like at the peckham cinema? Is it safe, well lit, free/cost etc? Tried to find answers on website to no avail! Thanks!

It's a multi storey carpark. In Peckham. Pretty it ain't and the usual array of tinefoil and syringes were very visible when people went to the Campari Bar on the roof over the summer.

Do you need to park there? Bus or walk is surely less hassle?

It's 70p an hour.It used to be free on a Sunday but not anymore. I have parked there many times and found it quite safe during the day, its well lit but after dark it's the walk back to the car thats not very nice.No one seems to park after the second floor.

I would agree with Sean better to get bus or walk.

If you go to the cinema in the evening then i would park around the surrounding Streets on the Mc Donald side of Rye Lane, approach from Bellenden Rd.

I agree with Eliza.D's advice - try to get a park somewhere over the other side of Rye Lane if you can, in the residential streets. The multiplex is fine, but not very nice after dark. The last time we parked there we had to push our way past a group of people shooting up in the stairwell, which wasn't a very nice experience.

Bus it is then! Cheers for the tips, guys, much appreciated.

Has it changed? When I used to go (pre-kids) it was free parking on level 6? with an express lift to front forecourt and perfectly safe

Dark, quiet car park. In Peckham. No thanks.

..well, as I said it used to be well lit, well used and have security cameras and a lift straight down to the front entrance that didn't stop at any other floors and I used it loads. So either that's changed - which is possible as it was a few years ago - or people are just talking out their bums.

i've parked there twice years ago.Found it very freaky but maybe it's just me. Hvent been back since

You used to park on the 6th floor or something...looking at previous posts it looks like people just parked on the lower floors and walked down

[Sandperson]

We use it regularly for evening film trips. Park on the ground floor which is well lit and it's free. Never seen anyone else in there, let alone smack addicts, and never had a problem.

Quids, I've never actually parked there, as I only live a 15 min walk away... but I don't mind admitting that I was thoroughly freaked out when trying to find my way up to Frank's!

I did park on the 6th floor but then again didn't like the idea of getting in that lift either

Never go to Peckham. Not for any reason. If it is essential for you to procure bush meat or 3 wigs for ?10, try Brixton. The street lighting is better.
