"The Castle Cinema, which opened on Chatsworth Road in 2015 after a crowdfunding campaign, has become one of the best places to catch a film in the whole of London, so there's no better team to revitalise Catford Mews. Reopening at The Castle Catford some time in 2026, the venue will boast three screens, a community space, a bar and a cafe."
"Three-screen cinema Catford Mews, which was opened by the Really Local Group back in 2019, became a popular haunt for South Londoners thanks to its varied programme of films and space for local food traders inside. However, after accruing debts of £387,000, Lewisham Council (which owns the Catford Centre where the cinema was located), evicted Really Local Group from the site in 2024, leaving the space empty."
Catford Mews opened in 2019 under Really Local Group and became popular for its varied film programme and space for local food traders. The venue accrued debts of £387,000 and was vacated after Lewisham Council evicted Really Local Group in 2024, leaving the site empty. East London's The Castle Cinema has taken on the site and will reopen as The Castle Catford in 2026, offering three screens, a community space, a bar and a cafe. Programming will combine independent, foreign-language and mainstream films, and the foyer will operate as a cafe/food court to host food start-ups. The new team aims for inclusive, community-focused events.
