Saturday 2nd January : The Cinema Museum - The London Cultureseekers Group - Meet People in London! (London, England) - Meetup
The Cinema Museum - The London Cultureseekers Group - Meet People in London! (London, England) - Meetup
Come along on Saturday 2nd January to visit the Cinema Museum!
About the museum The museum opened in 1986 and is a collection of everything to do with
cinema-going. The collection was started by Ronald Grant (who co-runs the museum today) and the collection is what he has collected over the last 60 years to do with the cinema (when cinema's were independent).
The collection grew far beyond its origins as an enthusiast's treasure trove to become an extensive archive of historical and social importance, and Ronald, along with Martin Humphries established the
Cinema Museum to safeguard the collections future.
The museum has posters, art deco cinema chairs, projectors, ushers' uniforms from the 1940's, tickets, ashtrays and popcorn cartons, as well as an archive boasting hundreds of books, photos and 17 million feet of film.
The museum is housed in the admin block of the old Lambeth Workhouse (built in 1873 and one of the few remaining workhouses in London), which has it's own movie links. As a young boy, Charlie Chaplin along with his half brother and mother spent one year living in the workhouse.
Before we enter, I will give a 10 minute talk on the history of the Lambeth Workhouse.
The museum is only open for group visits and we have a private talk on the collection by Ronald and Martin when we arrive. Afterwards, we will look around the museum.
We are meeting at two different time slots; 1pm and 2pm, so please indicate which time slot you prefer when you RSVP (it might default to the earlier time when you confirm, ignore that and just come along at your preferred time).
The visit should last about 1h 30mins/2 hours. After the talk, the visit is self guided.
Entry is £9 per person for Full Members and £10 for non Full Members, payable on the day (click here to become a Full Member). Afterwards we will head to the 'The Dog House pub' a short walk from the museum at 293 Kennington Road for a chat over a drink.
Please note, we only wait outside the station for 10 minutes after the advertised meeting time, so please be early or on time.
If you can't see us outside the station, please text.
Look out for the group sign:
Hope to see you there!

Happy Holidays!!
Dear Companions
A good year for friends meeting friends: outings included visiting gardens, wildlife reserves, historic homes, and Winchester; riding the miniature railway from Hythe to Dungeness; Sadlers Wells’ Legend of the Sun ballet from China, Happy Days at the Young Vic starring Juliet Stevenson, and Suffragette; as well as the Gypsy Traveller Summer Fair; walking [Havering to Harold Wood - finishing the LOOP after only 13 years!; and Two Tree Island to Leigh-on-Sea]. The highlight was a fabulous day on PS Waverley, the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world, from Tower Pier - via Gravesend and Southend-on-Sea - out to sea, then paddling about to return up river into an outstanding sunset over London with Tower Bridge opening up to let us back into port.
Dining out in style: ‘Lunch like a Lord’ in the Peers Dining Room at the House of Lords; the Duchy Arms; Sherlock Holmes pub near Charing Cross; The Quality Chop House in Farringdon; brunch at The Red Lion; burgers at the Beehive; and the Magpie Kitchen at Roots and Shoots. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is next, so be in touch if you’re interested.
On the buses with our Freedom Passes took us out as far as Barnet, Uxbridge, Docklands, and past Romford to Gallows Corner. With over 400 bus routes we’ll need to live until we’re 120 to complete them so, to play it safe, we’ve started at the highest numbers working our way backwards as well. It is a fabulous way to explore Greater London. We’ll ride the # 36 on Sunday 27th December so let us know if you’d like to join us.
So many Companions helped with the recces for the ‘London after the Fire’ pub walk in the City, each time finding something else of interest. Other walks were in Greenwich; and Belgravia; and this past week ‘Southwark: Prisoners and Playwrights’, which I’ll do for a couple of voluntary groups this year - so calling on Companions for more help on recces, please.
A good year for online sales of books and CD/DVDs for the Friends of the Durning Library: since February 2014 we’ve raised £289.48 - £208.95 in the past year alone! Another trolley load from the blue bin in the library this week and the shelves stacked again so a great start for the New Year! Thank you for supporting this initiative.
Kennington News continues to be well read, with currently over seven and a half thousand page views a month, indicating that our local community is avidly interested in the neighbourhood; really quite remarkable for a London that once seemed so anonymous.
Enjoy the holidays!
Best wishes
Cathy

Three days left to have your say on the Oval Gas-Holders development
Hi there,
You kindly asked to keep in touch in our previous survey in April, or on the www.saveoval.com website.
[For context, I'm part of SaveOval - a local residents' group who want to see development of the Gas-holders site without the high-rise mistakes of Nine Elms...
We've summarised our views, and an alternative scheme, here: http://www.saveoval.com/
As you probably know, Berkeley Homes published their Masterplan last month - http://www.oakda.co.uk/
It's vital that we send a clear message to Berkeley Homes & Lambeth on local people's views, before the deadline.
What you can do to help right now:
This will allow us to send a clear message on locals' views of the central issues.
2. Please also complete Berkeley's survey - i
3. Please forward this email to others in your building, your neighbours, your Residents' association, or your local school, etc., to encourage them to take part in the surveys - and if you use Facebook or Twitter, please share on Facebook, or retweet us at @SaveOval.
Thanks so much for your help, and if you'd like to be involved further, please do get in touch.
In the meantime, best wishes for the festive season.
Yours,
Harry & the SaveOval team

Fraudster/s alert !
Dear
friends and neighbours in Kennington
I have
recently been made aware of incidents whereby a person has presented himself in
a difficult situation e.g. broken down vehicle, lost wallet.
He claimed
to be my business partner / brother and has requested money from people of
Kennington who, in good faith and assuming it to be genuine, have helped the
person with money.
I am
extremely proud that they have helped with the understanding that this person
is associated with me; however, it saddens me that he used my name to extort
money from my good friends and neighbours.
Please be
vigilant; it has happened on several occasions.
I
strongly urge you all to be aware that this person is a fraud.
Thank you
all for your kindness and loyalty.
We are a
strong and extremely kind neighbourhood,
and we are all forthcoming when we see
a person who needs help.
I hope
2016 brings us all closer and we continue to look out for each other.
Sincerely
wishing you all a merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.
Kowsar
Hoque

[LondonCultureseekers] New meetup: 'Charlie Chaplin' Guided Walk (Saturday & Sunday)
[LondonCultureseeker
Announcing a new meetup for the London Cultureseekers Group!
What: 'Charlie Chaplin' Guided Walk (click here for the Saturday walk or here for the Sunday walk)
Where: Kennington Tube Station (outside the station)
When: Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th December at 1:30pm
Come along on either Saturday 19th or Sunday 20th December at 1:30pm for a guided walk around Kennington on the early life of the comic genius; Charlie Chaplin!
I'm a massive fan of Charlie Chaplin, so I'll be the guide for the walk.
About the walk
Charlie Chaplin was British and kept British citizenship all his life, even though he spent most of his adult life in America.
He was born in
Kennington, London on the 16th April 1889 and lived their until he was
21. He was born into and spent his early years in great poverty in (at
the time) one of the poorest areas of London. As a teenager he joined
a performing group in nearby Brixton and during a tour of the U.S was
spotted performing by a scout for Sennett Studios, they signed him
up and the rest is history! He went on to star in 81 films mainly
during the silent era and playing his 'Little Tramp' character in most
of them.
His life is a classic rags to riches story and in his films he
was heavily influenced by his poor upbringing. I will guide you round
the streets visiting various places that influenced him, the houses
where he lived as a child and describing the conditions of the area in
late Victorian London. I will tell you the story of his relationships
with his mentally ill mother, alcoholic father and the close bond he had
with his half brother Sydney. Plus I will also talk about his stage
understudy who also went onto become a world famous movie comedian.
I will finish the walk showing you the place where he learnt his famous comedy walk!
The walk is free to 'Full Members', but £5 for everyone else.
The walk will last about 1h 45mins and we will end by going to a pub not far from Vauxhall Tube Station.
If you can't see us outside the station, please text.
Hope to see you there!
