malcolmchurch Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The capitol is definitely closing. Staff have been told it will be a cinema. Obviously the change to a cinema might need several hoops to jump through but it is definitely not "my mate says..." posts on local forums and that's it". I find your comments quite insulting!

Otta Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Agreed. And if that is insulting to you, I'd suggest you need a thicker skin.That is not to say I don't really hope you're right. Cinema in FH would be bloody great.

Angusvanfrehley Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Not going to make a detailed contribution so not to be seen as to perpetuate hearsay. However, I am very good friends with a chap who has had many business dealings with the gentleman who actually owns the capitol building.....lets just say watch this space.

Zebedee Tring Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What about a cinema in Dulwich Village as well? We don't want the poor denizens of DV to feel left out in the cold.

Bic Basher Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Someone else who isn't Malcolm has posted on the SE23.com forum which sort of backs up his claim.

James Barber Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Good to see the naming has changed to East Dulwich Picturehouse rather than originally proposed Dulwich Picturehouse.

DavidPeckham Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Excellent work, and thanks to everyone involved in making it happen!I saw it in a press release from Picture House excitedly talking about everything from reclining seats to a green roof providing fresh produce for the menu and a plan to reveal some of the hall's original beamwork!Nice, many thanks for all the hard work of all the people who helped it along!

dulwichita lineman Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The Wetherspoon pub (ex Cinema) the Capital in Forest Hill is closing in 6-8 weeks and changing back to a cinema.Too much competition? Too many cinema's? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34352-new-cinema-for-lordship-lane/page/14/#findComment-762738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee Tring Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Has there been official confirmation of the opening of the Forest Hill cinema anyway?

malcolmchurch Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Capitol (Wetherspoons) staff 90% sure it will happen and most of them have been allocated jobs elsewhere but there is still no contract signed.

Zebedee Tring Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've had a look at the Forest Hill Forum and there's nothing recent about the cinema there (as far as I can see). Surely at the very least the Forest Hill rumour brigade should have swung into action, when the "news" has reached the EDF.

Jah Lush Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I hope it's true about The Capitol reverting back to a cinema. It's what it was built for in the first place. I used to go there when I was a kid and the one on Grove Vale too.

Zebedee Tring Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I too would like the Capital to become a cinema again. However, I wish to see some evidence that this is happening.

Zebedee Tring Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 MC, I've looked at this website, and the general consensus there seems to be that the cinema plan is the subject of rumour and wild speculation.
