about Us
Just a 13 minute train from London Bridge, or 10 minutes from Clapham Junction, The David Lean Cinema in Croydon is a gem of a volunteer-led community cinema, which, after closing in 2011, reopened as a result of local campaigning in 2014.
Often collaborating with The Cinema Museum, we frequently screen on 35mm and are a champion of accessibility with frequent descriptive subtitled and Dementia-Friendly screenings – and there are NO adverts!
Films
We screen more than 20 films
each month, ranging from cult classics to the latest blockbusters, as well as stunning world cinema, the best of British, sing-alongs, and more. Without our passionate and dedicated team of volunteers, the David Lean Cinema simply wouldn’t function. It’s our love of community and thirst for quality films that has made our little cinema persevere.
Info
Ticket sales provide our main source of income; 80% in FY 2023/24.
This revenue stream will increase in proportion to our audience growth. We will continue to price our tickets competitively, including to offer concessions for those who are 65 or over, 25 or under, students, people with a disability, and those in receipt of Pension Credit, Universal Credit, Income Support or Job Seekers allowance.
