Old cinemas and Bicycle Polo

I’ve just discovered that Peckham once had an art-deco Odeon cinema; this wonderful photset includes a the above shot from 1938 and more recent images of its destruction in the 80′s. It proudly stood on Peckham High Street where the Jobcentre is now to be found. More information here.

More recently, the Peckham bike polo team make good use of the multi-story carpark. I hope to join them for a match sometime!
