Lewisham may not have a dedicated cinema, but residents nonetheless can enjoy a wide variety of films at an eclectic range of venues. In April 2009, a one-off capital grant was made from Lewisham Council to fund projection equipment and set up costs for non-traditional venues in the borough. Watch this space for one or two brand new additions to Lewisham's film club family. Click on the venues in the map below for details.
