Can't rate this experience highly enough. Just watched Top Gun Maverick... Sun setting in the background against the London skyline...planes soaring through the sky alongside fighter jets on screen. Comfy chairs, amazing sound through individual headphones, drinks / food delivered to your chair from a QR code on a table there by your side. Just fantastic, this is the ONLY way to do cinema. Not sure if i could do an Odeon again after that! WOW

Great setting, booked this on a whim as a date night. Drink selection is good, seats are comfy and you get blankets too. Will come again!!

A summer must to try! I had a lovely evening- the show is scheduled in time to see the sunset and gorgeous views over London. The screen is positioned so that no matter where you sit, you’ve got a great view of the film. However, the complimentary popcorn (with the loveseat ticket) was not fresh and the blankets were dirty. Overall I had a great time and plan to come back!

Now this is quite the experience! I would recommend although this place did leave a small amount to be desired!

Arrived at 8pm with a friend to watch Buzz Lightyear. Although the area itself isn't the nicest at all and accessibility wise it isn't amazing due to the walking, the experience initially when on the rooftop was good. We were given really comfortable blankets, wireless headphones and snacks, and were then given instructions on which area to sit! The chairs were fairly comfortable too and the screen was nice and big.

The reason why this is a 4* is because partway through, my headset died which was fairly annoying and ruined the whole immersive experience. This is avoidable and wouldn't happen if the headsets were fully charged. Added on with the whole area being rundown and reminiscent of a truly Cyberpunk theme, although everything else was amazing and the staff are lovely, this did leave me a tiny bit annoyed. Having to quickly get out of Peckham at 11:30pm also isn't fun as the local area is undoubtedly rough.

I would recommend and in future, if the local area is good in new locations, even better. Thank you to the staff for making it a good experience however.

I was so excited to see Where the Crawdads sing for my birthday however the Rooftop cinema experience made it even more amazing! Staff where attentive, sound in the headphones carried with you, if you needed to pop to the toilet as well, so I never missed a line. The food and cocktails honestly made the whole experience better then what you would normally receive from an everyday cinema. Seeing the sunset was spectacular and there was no glare on the screen for that short time before the movie began. The complimentary blankets to rug up in where so soft! I could rave about this place for ages but honestly go and check it out if you get the chance 😍

Great space, in a great location and all of the staff are super friendly! The pizza is amazing too! Silent disco meets the movies!

An experience for sure, when everything goes well! I've feel like i've been extremely unlucky during all times. 1st time they had a screening of Bohemian rhapsody playing so loudly that it took over our movie which was blairwitch project. Made for a comedic effect however ruined the movie. Free tickets were offered however, I've yet to receive any from their support. 2nd time: Was supposed to watch candy man, the file was corrupt so they showed us something else. Again free tickets were offered and never received. 3rd time: The black klans man, the staff were just not on point that evening, completely uninterested, didn't offer popcorn or blankets everything. So as much as I want to like this experience it just hasn't been worth it.

(Update): I've been contacted and the issue has now been resolved

So pleased we got to finally check this out! First of all it's within the quirky area of central Peckham, within a stone throw of Peckham Rye station infact, but also if you are driving it's easy to park and free in the evenings.

When arriving please be aware that it's a stair only access. As you walk up you see other creative studio spaces where people are working, its lovely and gets you into the mode of what's to come. As you get to the top you have two choices, the rooftop bar on the left and the cinema to the right. Once arriving everyone was super friendly including the staff. You collect your headphones and blankets (lovely) and a choice of refreshments. The seating area is well spaced out but the city view is incredible! One of the best settings yet!

Nicely gets you into the mood of the film. We would highly recommend this whether on a first date, with friends or generally a film finactic.

We give it a very solid A*****
