As a teenager growing up in Catford I went to all the wonderful, much loved cinemas in the borough of Lewisham, even the Park where I saw my first X film, ‘The Man With The Golden Arm’.
Highlights, the horror film with a skeleton flying over the audience at the Eros, ‘Jailhouse Rock, athe Plaza, ‘The Girl Can’t Help It’ at the Prince of Wales and ‘Genevieve’ at The Rex complete with train noises from the railway bridge outside! Chris Welch

Fasinating research and really innovative way to illustrate it … shame on Lewisham Council no cinema …. we missed the development boat on Lewisham 2000 … as we used to joke Lewisham 3000 is more like it …

Fantastic memories, I got thrown out of Sydenham Granada for lighting matches and I remember when we would sneak friends in the exit door. Great days

Comment on When Lewisham had cinemas by Barrowboy

Thanks for the interesting article. I spent many Saturday evenings with my girl friend in the vast circle of this beautiful cinema during the late 1960′s. It was in fabulous condition as the interior had just been completely re-furbished after the fire (mentioned in main article). I can always remember the non-synch music as we eagerly awaited the lights to dim and the film started, it was always a Bert Kampfort record. Eventually we married at St Stephens church opposite. On the wedding photo of us getting into our car, the Lewisham Odeon stands proud in the background.
