this place used to be really good with the stupidly cheap tickets, but it has now become a nightmare! the last time I went apart form being charged £6.00 for a ticket, the whole experience was like being in a classroom while the teacher is out, some loser was constantly on his mobile and when confronted went started shouting saying he had payed for a ticket and had every right to be there!? erm, ok so what did everyone else do? still makes me angry, this is the kind of people who always seem to be there when I go so I have now given up and wait for the dvd release.

I liked it best when ticket prices here were cheaper than the popcorn, but I appreciate that times change. Nowadays instead of a crazy £2.99 per adult ticket it’s still pretty good value with a maximum cost of at £6.50 (for Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings after 5pm) - and this is for general release movies.
Set back from Rye Lane, the cinema’s a reasonably spacious multi-screen affair but with a neighbourhood feel to it. There might be groups of youths huddled around about the slightly scuzzy paved area leading up to the front door (next to a presumably now-defunct Woolworths) and it’s worth keeping your wits about you if you’re going home late after a film, but you can’t believe everything you hear about Peckham and I’ve never had a problem there.
I love that London has alternative options for movie going besides faceless, expensive chains, and Peckham Multiplex is in my top five for honest, good value cinema. Last time I went I noticed there were t-shirts for sale too - where else would you get that?!!

Not the fanciest of cinemas but it does the job. Visitors get the true 'peckham experience’ at this cinema, so be prepared to witness full-blown participation in the film, complete with screams and tutting and exclamations of suprise! Not one for a quiet romantic night out, but a great experience none-the-less. And it’s much cheaper than most, although avoid the toilets, as they are not the best kept loos in London/

Peckham cinema is definitely the bargain basement of nights out. But it does the job. The cinema is on Peckham high street just opposite the McDonalds, so that is dinner sorted. The tickets are very cheap compared to the other cinema chains. At £5.20 a ticket…. Not bad! It used to be £2.99 but obviously inflation has set in. The cinema itself can be messy at time and you will find that the staff who work there let their friends in for free which can be a pain. I wouldn’t advise going here at night time as the streets are completely empty of a night and the cinema is situated down a side street which can be a bit dangerous. On a good note they show all the latest films and the popcorn and food is great tasting so you do get the cinema experience. I think this is best for taking the kids out on a Saturday afternoon as it is cheap but very very cheerful!
