The cat’s out of the bag: what’s the deal with Catford Mews?

S

eptember saw the opening of a multiscreen cinema and event space in Catford, on the site of what was previously a Poundland on Winslade Way, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Playfully named Catford Mews, the 14,000 sq ft venue, which launched on September 25, houses a three-screen cinema, local food traders and a central space for community events and gigs.

Catford Mews is the first London project by the Really

4 October 16 2019

Local Group, an organisation that creates and restores cultural infrastructure, with a mission to: ‘put the heart back into the high street’. In creating the venue, the team hope to ‘inject a much-needed buzz’ back into the area, reviving the Catford Centre so that the strip becomes a destination in its own right as much as a place to shop locally.

Central to the efforts of the Really Local Group is creating venues that reflect their locality and are affordable for the local community to use.

This is, admittedly, something

many start-up businesses and organisations claim to stand for, but often fall short of producing in reality. In the case of Catford Mews, however, this claim holds true.

The cinema at Catford Mews is the first multi-screen complex housed in Lewisham in almost 20 years, offering 220 seats across its three screens. Prices for standard cinema tickets range from £4.99 to £9.99, while discounts for students, families and those aged over 60 are offered.

There’s also weekly screenings of family favourites on Sunday mornings at 11am, which the whole family can come and watch for £2 per person. The cinema hosts babies and carers screenings twice a week too, and Monday matinee screenings for retirees. Among the first movies shown at the new cinema were September’s big-hit releases: Hustlers, The Last Tree and Ad Astra.

Catford Mews’ promise of inclusivity doesn’t end with wheelchair ramps and disabled toilets, either. The cinema also offers two wheelchair spaces per screen and runs relaxed screenings with reduced volume and the lights left on low to make the experience hospitable for those on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivity.

Out in the main space, live music and art form key aspects of the programme. The site welcomes local collectives,

artists and schools to use the venue as a showcase for exhibitions or performances, and will eventually offer coworking areas, too. The venue has already hosted the Habibi Collective, who presented a screening of short films by London-based film-makers of Arab descent. The screening was followed by a photography exhibition and reception in the bar.

Upcoming highlights include the venue’s first Halloween event, where Catford Mews is joining forces with south Londonbased We Do Good Disco to host a themed disco evening on October 26.

Food and drink wise, Catford Mews has brought in a diverse range of local traders to occupy its stands and dish up their specialities. Visitors can tuck into a vegan sandwich from Scandiinspired Duan’s Deli; a Jamaican patty from Patty Man; or a hearty bowl Kara-agé Chicken or Karaagé Tofu-based Japanese street food from FUSÉ. And to round it off? Look to the versatile range of vegan doughnuts from Bears Dough.

Of the launch, Really Local Group’s founder and visionary Preston Benson commented: “Really Local Group is all about prioritising true localism, delivering first-class and much needed cultural infrastructure with genuine consultation with the people of the local area. It is my aim to make Catford Mews

the envy of South London, a destination for the people of Catford and the surrounding area. I am incredibly excited to open this new community space and look forward to sharing details on our next projects in the coming months.”

Having attended the launch event of Catford Mews on September 25, everything the Really Local Group promised to create seemed to ring true: the venue felt like a hub that was accessible and welcoming to all members of the local community.

It felt inclusive, from the screening of a short film on Catford by south London-based collective T A P E, to the local traders proudly serving canapésized portions of their food.

Those in attendance ranged in age from children to the elderly and came from a broad range of backgrounds. There was nothing pretentious about it, either: just a venue serving as a space for its local community. For that reason, we’ll be back – and soon.

If you visit and like what you find, locals can buy Founder Memberships for Catford Mews with several membership options available, including student, 60+, family, and standard which are available from £25. Benefits of membership include free cinema tickets and discounts across the venue.

Blackheath celebrates

Diwali B

lackheath Halls is known for its rich programme of classical concerts, family shows and recently its film screenings, writes Holly O’Mahony…

But this October, the entertainment venue is offering something entirely new: a fiveday celebration of Diwali, inspired by the festival of lights observed

by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains worldwide.

Ticking off several aspects of the cultural spectrum, the varied programme of events aims to offer something for all ages and tastes, including music, dance workshops, family-friendly activities, screenings and of course, traditional Indian food.

The festival follows on from a successful Diwali dinner and dance event held at the Halls last year, organised by the Friends of Blackheath Halls organisation.

“It was so popular, we thought it would be lovely to create a series of events for the whole community and for all ages to enjoy,” says Nicola Metselaar, marketing manager at Blackheath Halls.

With this in mind, here’s what happening over the course of the Diwali Festival.

Blackheath gets a taste of Bollywood The Bollywood Brass Band, a well-known, Indian-style wedding band based in the UK, is putting on a vibrant and colourful show for the whole family to enjoy on Saturday October 19 (7:30pm). Hear the band’s extensive repertoire – played on saxophones, tabla, dhol drums and a colossal sousaphone. If you want to learn the moves so you can dance along, head to the Halls in the afternoon, when the band is leading Bollywood Dance Workshops (2pm or 3pm).

“Having the Bollywood Brass Band perform here is very exciting and a fantastic finale to the day’s events” says Nicola.

“Their shows are always full of

laura@weekender.co.uk |

colour and really good fun.”

Extending the Diwali celebrations beyond the confines of Blackheath Halls is The Everest Inn, Blackhealth Village’s popular Nepalese and Indian restaurant, which is offering discounts to those with tickets to events in the festival – regardless of whether you’re dining in or ordering a takeaway.

Should the events prove popular, Nicola has high hopes the Diwali Festival will be the first of many. “We hope that our Diwali Festival will become an annual event so that the whole community can come together in celebrating what is an important fixture of the Hindu, Sikh and Jain calendar.”

Diwali Festival is being celebrated at Blackheath Halls, 23 Lee Road, Blackheath, London SE3 9RQ. October 16 - 20. Times and admission vary depending on event. www.blackheathhalls. com/community-engagementprogramme/diwali-2019 Jasdeep Singh Degun

www.weekender.co.uk

Music and literature Author Preti Taneja, whose book We That Are Young won the 2018 Desmond Elliott Prize for the UK’s best debut novel, is giving a literary talk at the festival on October 16 (8pm). On the surface, Preti’s novel tells a story about power, status and and the love of a megalomaniac father, while on a deeper level it explores human fallibility. Then on October 20, sitarist Jasdeep Singh – a ‘rising star of the Indian classical and contemporary music scenes’ – is giving a recital.

Same Same

Family-friendly fun

Looking to give your little ones a taste of Diwali? You can book them onto an Indian drumming workshop on Saturday 19 (12:15pm), where they’ll learn some Bhangra beats. Or take them to see the award-winning Sonia Sabri Company perform Same Same… but Different, in which the dancer-musicians ‘conjure a magical atmosphere to celebrate our individuality, diversity and the bonds which connect us all’. With kathak (classical Indian dance), hip hop, live music and storytelling, the show promises to excite the whole family.

Food and fim

Film buffs should use the festival as an opportunity to watch the 1984 Merchant-Ivory classic A Passage to India, which is being given the big screen treatment on October 17 (7pm). Foodies, meanwhile, should be sure to reserve a seat at the table for the Diwali Dinner with Indian Dance event on October 18 (7pm). “This event was incredibly popular last year and is a really entertaining evening of Indian food and dance,” reminds Nicola.

Forest Hill restaurant Babur Brasserie will be serving up starters on arrival, followed by a buffet of vegetarian food. Once fed, guests will be entertained by a performance from a group of classical Indian dancers. The bar, meanwhile, will be stocked with Indian beers and non-alcoholic drinks.

C

harlton Athletic Women goalkeeper Katie Startup visited a Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) mental health programme to mark World Mental Health Day on Thursday 10 October.

The 20-year-old attended CACT’s Early Intervention in Psychosis programme and joined participants in taking part in bowling, soundbath and meditation.

Having won the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Community Champion Award last season, Katie recognises the importance of visiting community-based programmes.

“It was really interesting to see the kind of work CACT does with mental health programmes”, she said.

“We’re all part of the community. I think it’s important to get involved with as many aspects of the community as possible, particularly for myself – I have a keen interest in the mental health side of it so for me to get involved with the projects and the programmes that are going on and see what’s being done is great.

“To help mental health in the community is fantastic to see and I’d encourage

anyone to go out and get involved.”

The goalkeeper has chosen to wear the number 40 this season to raise awareness on mental health and suicide rates. One person around the world dies through suicide every 40 seconds.

She wanted to visit a CACT mental health programme to meet and talk to participants.

Early Intervention in Psychosis is a varied weekly programme for adults who have experienced a first episode of psychosis.

With weekly sessions complemented by annual residential trips to Cornwall, the programme looks to reduce isolation and build resilience and self-confidence.

Another CACT mental health project, Up & At ‘Em for over 65s with a mental health diagnosis, has won two national awards this year.

Staff from the project picked up the Older Adult Functional Mental Health Services (NHS England) award in Cambridge on World Mental Health Day. For more information about CACT’s mental health programmes, email Terry Peart, CACT’s Mental Health & Disability Coordinator, at Terry.Peart@cact.org.uk

Kalmars toasts new launch

K

ALMARs, the leading South London estate agents, are pleased to announce the launch of 196 Southwark Park Road, a scheme situated in Bermondsey by London developer Orchard Homes Group. Providing ten homes, inclusive of eight apartments and two houses, an additional three commercial units and one office unit, 196 Southwark Park Road was originally the site of the former pub, ‘Colleen Bawn’ originally built in 1869 and now represents the shift towards Bermondsey becoming one of London’s most up-and-coming areas to live and work.

Continues on next page

Behind its contemporary brick façade, 196 Southwark Park Road provides 10 homes over the space of five floors. The scheme consists of one onebedroom apartment, three two-bedroom apartments, four three-bedroom duplexes and two three-bedroom houses. Each home in the development offers residents a combination of style and sophistication; the spacious and contemporary interiors are masterfully designed to exceed residents’ expectations. The ground floor of the scheme provides three commercial units with the first floor providing office space, which are expected to be very popular given the area’s thriving commercial centre.

Located on the site of the ‘Collen Bawn’ pub, which first opened in 1869 and was most recently a solicitor’s office, the scheme is

moments from ‘The Blue’, a vibrant market square which has been operating for over 230 years. Now transformed by the developer, Orchard Homes Group has used green construction techniques throughout which includes highly efficient use of resources to minimise waste, with the ethos of remaining as environmentally friendly as possible.

The apartments and houses have been built with meticulous attention to detail and a high specification.

With an interior design scheme focused on exposed brickwork, pops of rich colour and sleek finishes, the homes are set to appeal to a wide audience. The designer fitted kitchens in each apartment will feature engineered oak wood flooring, fully integrated Bosch appliances, soft close drawers and Quartz stone worktops.

Bathrooms in each unit will provide residents with ceramic wall and floor tiling, baths with chrome bath fillers, wall mounted hand basins with chrome mixer taps, exposed thermostatic chrome showers, slim line shower trays and chrome glass sliding doors and Grohe and Roca fittings.

Each home has triple glazed external windows and doors with aluminium or timber, chrome finishes to switches and sockets and LED down lights throughout.

Houses will also feature Ring Video doorbells and secure bicycle storage.

Following the release of the Old Kent Road Area Action Plan, the area surrounding 196 Southwark Park Road has received huge investment and is set to improve exponentially. 196 Southwark Park Road will therefore appeal to

investors as an exciting investment opportunity for the future, as well as being a stunning home or office in a prime location.

Voted one of the Sunday Times ‘Best Places to Live’ in 2018, Bermondsey has morphed into a trendsetter’s playground and cultural hotspot due to its established travel links, chic warehouses and cosmopolitan streets. As well as being located in one of London’s most up-andcoming areas, 196 Southwark Park Road has superb transport links with Bermondsey underground station just half a mile away, providing easy and quick access to the Jubilee line.

Marc Faure, Head of New Homes at KALMARs, says: “The apartments and houses at 196 Southwark Park Road will provide residents with a lifestyle of luxury.

The charming interiors on offer

are ideal for home owners who value attractive design and layouts, while the commercial units are a savvy investment opportunity as Bermondsey is on its way to becoming one if London’s most up-and-coming commercial areas. With the scheme just moments away from Bermondsey underground station, residents will also profit from excellent connectivity.”
