I adore going to the cinema. I love the whole thing. All the way from the anticipation of going, watching the trailers to the credits and chatting about what you’ve seen.

For some time I’ve been encouraging cinema companies to consider East Dulwich. We recently had three chains consider East Dulwich and previously I’d even approached a real independent cinema Bermondsey Shortwave.

Finally the long awaited cinema company who have agreed, subject to planning permission, to open a cinema in East Dulwich on Lordship Lane is Picturehouse Cinemas – the people who run the Brixton Ritzy.

Next week they have public consultations about what they’re thinking of doing on the old Roman Catholic Community Centre, Thomas Moore Hall, 116A Lordship Lane.

DO PLEASE pop along and take a look at what they proposing….

Tuesday 4 March 6.30-9.30pm & Saturday 8 March 10am-1pm.

And let us know as your local councillors what you think.

Do you think it will bring extra vigour to Lordship Lane? Cause parking issues? Provide things for teens to do as well as us adults?
