Deptford Cinema is fairly new. It's a basement room that seats maybe 30-40 people. When I went, the sound quality wasn't that great. But the reason to go is that they show interesting films you won't see on general release, so I thoroughly recommend it. I hope as they get established the premises will be gradually upgraded.

Local space with a basement which has been turned into a little cinema. The space is small, but perfect for the type of cult films they seem to show. There were a few technical video hiccups the night I went which was distracting, but hopefully it’s not a usual issue. Upstairs, there was a small seating area with a bar to purchase drinks from. The space also looks a bit unfinished, I suspect it’s a work in progress, so hopefully it continues to grow.

I love Deptford Cinema. It is a small community run cinema, accommodating approx. 40 visitors. The screen is small and films are DVD played, which can be a problem for a hardcore film lovers. The atmosphere and the film selection, nevertheless, is more than rewarding! Come, grab a beer at the counter, leave a tip for the upkeep of this wonderful project, bringing life to your community. <3

A true gem. Yes it's small and ramshackle and there is occasionally a slight damp smell. But the programming is excellent and it's a true community cinema! They also deserve credit for having a digital projector that doesn't create the dreaded "screen door effect", which plagues so many cinemas, even the nearby picturehouse. Give this place your support!

Really lovely independent cinema completely run by friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable volunteers - lots of world cinema and cake and no advertising :D

An independent cinema run by a hardy band of locals. Small bar with interesting wine, beer and snacks.
Hosts quirky film seasons and screenings of cult classics.
Chilled life drawing sessions on a Monday night are pretty cool.

Deptford Cinema is a little gem, if you want block busters, surround sound, huge bags of popcorn, then don't come here. On the other hand if you like a friendly volunteer staff, amazing independent films often from around the world, gin and tonic half the price you'd pay in a pub, cinema prices just as competitive, a small seated audience, what's not to like? It's organic, friendly and independent I love it.

You can't go wrong with a local cinema that does a John Carpenter season. Don't let the small interior fool you the projector is an excellent one and it's got the great vibe that the Prince Charles Cinema used to have back in the late 80s. Support them - less Disney more Snake Plissken
