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!

The high price of cheap living: how the property guardianship dream soured | Society | The Guardian
Property guardianship was once a win-win situation. empty buildings secured and bargain rents offered. For many the reality today is different. an underclass of renters with limited rights in grim conditions – and landowners milking the system to pay less tax ... One guardian described viewing “rooms that were like chicken coops” in Kennington, south London, which were being offered by a guardian company for £500 a month. It was a single space “with rows of plyboard walls and no natural light, no ventilation”. ....

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
