A week can be a long time in Kentish Town. Just seven days ago we reported on the closure of Pizza Express in the iconic old former poly on the corner of Prince Of Wales Road. Then on Wednesday we tried to galvanise our thousands of readers into acting together if we are all serious about making a cinema or arts hub for K-Town a reality.
And yet even we were surprised with the response we had, not to mention the amount our feature was shared and retweeted, from London to LA (really!)
Naturally there is substantial interest in the former poly assembly hall (or alternate sites, of course). Yet we are, at this stage, unable to say any more than this. But rest assured we’re “helping them with their enquiries.” And you can bet we’ll tell you more when/as we hear it.
So if you want to be involved, or can help in any way, or know any other sites besides the poly that you think could work for a community-driven cinema hub, add your comment below or email us at info@kentishtowner.co.uk
Visit our sister site Below The River for a sneaky peak today at some of South London’s quirkiest secret cinemas.
