West Norwood Picturehouse

“West Norwood Cinema and Library, community rooms,are one of the most positive and interesting places to visit in West Norwood. Really does feel like a hub of our community. I and some friends have been rather disappointed with the cafe/ restaurant of late. Would much prefer a Café that would sell Sandwich/ toasties,healthy salads,just simple baked potatoes with fillings. If it could have the ambience of a place to eat in the evenings with a little more choice,a place to meet friends before or after seeing a film. It's not working so well for a place to share time over a small bite in the afternoons or a place to share time and a meal with friends in the evening, I do hope this could be changed in the near future. As I love this picturehouse. Thankyou”

“Ritzy is my Picturehouse to go but decided to visit this branch. It's much more spacious, with variety of spaces to spend some time when waiting for a movie, or just chill. Community hub, bar, extra space, it’s just very welcoming venue overall. They still got people checking tickets, when it barely happens at Ritzy. Clean and tidy screening room, a bit old-school but in a good way. Proper leg room, ventilation and no smell inside. Building outside is worth checking out too.”

“The Library and Cinema are great and there is a friendly local atmosphere to rhe place. Very nice place to have a coffee too. Am not so sure about the Mexican food. Compared to the cafe at the Ritzy in Brixton which served a range of freshly cooked food each day, the food served in West Norwood does nt attract me to eat there. A shame as West Norwood would benefit from a really nice place to eat, especially in the evenings.”
