From the Wikipedia article
Deptford Cinema is a volunteer run, not-for-profit, community cinema, art gallery, and occasional music venue, formerly located at 39 Deptford Broadway in the Deptford district of the London Borough of Lewisham. At the time of opening in 2014 it was the borough's only functioning cinema. It had one downstairs screening room with roughly 40 seats, a mixture of traditional velvet movie theatre seating and sofas.

Background
History
The volunteer body transformed the two-floor derelict space, a former shop front that had been closed for about 15 years, into a cinema using funds donated through Kickstarter. Prior to its opening Lewisham had for a time been one of only two London boroughs with no dedicated cinema. The volunteer body has no hierarchy, meaning anyone can get involved with any aspect of running the cinema; from programming and marketing, to construction, front of house duties etc. Whilst struggling to pay off a large business rates bill in 2016, despite at the time being registered as a Community Interest Company, Deptford Cinema saw support from notable people such as Glenda Jackson and Sue Perkins.
