I absolutely love this place. One of a handful of picturehouses in London, the Brixton Ritzy shows a broad variety of art house, independent and foreign language films, in addition to the bigger blockbusters. More than that though, it's a wonderful place to stop for a drink - there's a bar at the side of the cinema, and a cafe upstairs where you can have a light bite before a film. They have special screenings for those with young children under 12 months ("The Big Scream") as well as autism friendly showings. The main screen, screen one, is my favourite, as it's really old school, with worn red velvet seats.I absolutely love this place.

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.
