I’ve lived in Chiswick since 1986, and I’ve witnessed the cinema close down for refurbishment and then reopen under a different name many times. But it would always get so dilapidated so quickly. It has never lost its “Hammersmith Flea Pit” tag. Learning that it’s owned by Tesco explains a lot! We need a decent cinema in this area. Shepherds Bush is too far and rather dodgey at night. If it had a proper, caring management and regular publicity (as well as more competitive pricing), I’m sure it would be a success. As Tina Turner might say, “We don’t need another Tesco”!
