🎬 Odeon Beckenham is set to close in November. Could this be the end of an era for the historic cinema, which has been showing films since 1930? #Beckenham #Cinema #SouthEastLondon

South Norwood Library is facing possible closure. All libraries are cool, but this one designed by Hugh Lea in 1968 is extra cool - just look at it. @friends_norwood are organising a read-in protest against the proposed closure this Saturday. Details here facebook.com/events/10740388…
