Plans to convert an abandoned Deptford warehouse into an immersive three screen cinema have been made public for consultation.
Backyard Cinema, which already runs a venue in Wandsworth, will submit a planning application for the Huntman House project, on Evelyn Street, this month.
The surrounding warehouses would be split into cinemas with themed “experience areas”, which would change once a year from summer to winter, each including a snack bar.
The central warehouse space would be used for the site Box Office and information centre and food and drinks area.
The site also has a two-storey office block on the front of the building.
Backyard Cinema plan to move their entire team here and use the site as their London Headquarters.
The company has offered a series of suggestions for on site activities and projects which could benefit the community.
These include discounts for locals, a pupil referral unit program, a school ticket scheme, local recruitment, and events tailored to the local community.
Backyard Cinema aims to submit a planning application later this month.
Should permission be granted, renovation works could begin in autumn 2021 with a view to opening in March 22.
