The best cinema in London for culturally aware (i.e. non mainstream blockbuster) first run films. Having moved far enough away that it's not local, I am now aware how spoilt for a great film experience I was when I lived nearby.

They've gone through a few pricing changes over the years, obviously trying to keep pace with the market, but they still are a great venue, offer a good value and have an excellent bar/restaurant that's hopping most nights. Only complaint there is its too DAMN SMALL!

Give this place a go if you're tastes run different to Michael Bay and other action films. Also keep an eye out for special events like preview screenings of "Sunshine" with Q&A with Danny Boyle, or their Sunday morning freebie screenings.

It's the cultural centre of Brixton, although that's not too hard to achieve.The best cinema in London for culturally aware (i.e. non mainstream blockbuster) first run films.

Jono's is a fairly large members-only snooker/pool club on Camberwell New Rd. There's no windows or anything to look into the place, only a door where you buzz yourself in so it's quite dodgy! Rumour has it that the local criminals hide away in there from the police until the coast is clear :s .It opens until early in the morning (or is it 24 hrs?!!) so this makes it really easy if the rumour is true!

I've been there a few times whilst very drunk with a group of friends when I was still a student and none of us are actually members but they just look angry and then mumble that we should remember to bring our 3 forms of ID with us next time :D

From what I remember, it was fairly cheap. Inside it's your usual setup of pool/snooker tables, quite dark I think. I don't remember any distinguishing features but there's always the colourful locals that provide unique, if not amusing entertainment.Jono's is a fairly large members-only snooker/pool club on Camberwell New Rd.
