About
The Cinema Museum in Kennington holds a collection of cinema history and memorabilia founded in 1986 by Ronald Grant and Martin Humphries. The building was formerly a workhouse where Charlie Chaplin lived as a child.
The 1950s cinema with original seats and film equipment appeals to older children (10+) interested in film history. Interactive elements and restored cinema provide novelty. Limited opening and ticket prices mean it's a niche visit. Best for genuine film enthusiasts.
