@FlipLondonTours @sinderinister Without wanting to step too much on your toes Aidan I've slowly been planning a Soho's Lost Cinemas tour. The original idea for my West End tour was Leicester Sq and Soho but as I delved into it more I realised Soho needed its own focus - and an XXX certificate. 🤣

@sinderinister @FlipLondonTours The Eros - the one in American Werewolf - was a 'Classic' and that was a cartoon cinema. I think you'll enjoy this description (The Jacey Piccadilly was originally a news and cartoon cinema called the Monsignor)

@FlipLondonTours @sinderinister Hi Stan - yes - the Jacey was a chain in the 60s and 70s - often showing quite spicy movies - here's a great ad. If you're in London I talk about them on this walking tour

Forever grateful to my Dad for keeping my first ever cinema ticket
In my latest episode (no.116) with cinema historian and tour guide,@nigelcsmith, we talk about first cinema experiences. For Nigel it was 1981's Superman II. And he even has the ticket stubb to prove it! What was you first cinema experience?
