Pinboard: Films, rooftops, clubs – a bank holiday special. And an unexpectedly great market?


1. A road movie at King’s Cross Filling Station?

Filling Station

Quick, quick, quick. It’s the last weekend for the outdoor Everyman Cinema, which is based at the KXFS until Sunday (5 May). The cinema is set to finish its run with some of the best road movies ever made, under the shelter of the old forecourt canopy.

For full programme details head here, although expect classics like Thelma & Louise, My Own Private Idaho and Drugstore Cowboy all to be screened (£10-20), with plenty of popcorn, craft beer and cocktails.


LOCAL ADVERTISING


Oh, and we really quite like this image by photographer John Sturrock of the skyline framed by the cranes undertaking construction on Pancras Square.

Next: More local artists needed!

  1. When Dingwalls opened in 1973 the area round it was known as “Dingwalls” for a couple of years because Camden Market was so small then and the Lock considered nothing special, Dingwalls was the biggest thing there.

    The shops around it were mostly junk shops then too (except Compendium book shop), a lot of shops flogged second hand TVs, I remember them because I bought one there.
