The Shortwave Cinema is a very small, independent cinema located in Bermondsey Square. There's no easy train/tube access, so this is really only a destination for people who live near Bankside. If you do happen to be around the area, though, then this is a nice option if you fancy watching a film.
The Shortwave is completely accessible. It is located on the ground floor and has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a very large size disabled bathroom. There is a bar that serves some nice beer and a limited, but good, wine selection. The nibbles are mostly heated up in a toaster oven, so don't arrive hungry unless this doesn't bother you. Although service can be slow, the people who work at The Shortwave are all incredibly nice.
The wheelchair seats are at the very ends of the first row in the cinema. There is plenty of room, but because they are on the very ends you do have to crane your neck a bit. However, it's not too bad.
On nice days, it's pleasant to sit outside and watch the world go by. Every Friday there is an antiques fair, and on Saturdays there is a small farmers market.
Keep an eye out for special events hosted at the Shortwave. By chance, we went to the Shortwave when Saint Saviour (Groove Armada lead singer Becky Jones) was warming up for an album party later that night. Great music, great time.
