Such a shame the Odeon and bowling at Surrey Quays has gone

[Rockets]

Went to book a film to find Surrey Quays Odeon is no more. Such a shame, I didn't realise everything was being  shut there. Used to love a bit of bowling at the Hollywood Bowl too.

I think it’s great that they’re replacing a huge expanse of car parking with housing. Just hope the design is decent and that they manage to incorporate some mixed use (hopefully with a new bowling place and a cinema) into the scheme.

On the upside, the P13 bus is ready to whisk you directly to the Odeon in Streatham. And failing that there's the mighty Peckhamplex, the Ritzy, the East Dulwich or West Norwood Picturehouses, the one up on Crystal Palace, and even Whirled Cinema. We're doing okay for cinemas!

I visit Decathlon from time to time but as others have said there regards to cinema there are good alternatives nearby and London desperately needs housing.  Separately it can be horrid and congested in the area, although I only ever cycle or use public transport to get there.  There are some lovely walks in that area, obviously the river, but also Stave Hill and the other green areas that were formally small docks.  You can continue the walk to the farm and then onto the Dog and Bell at Deptford for lunch.

And for bowling just jump on the 185 as Lewisham Lanes is great.  Or if you want a Hollywood Bowl they still have one at the O2.
