Thinking about where Up Your Street ventured in 2012 and taking into consideration the experiences of seniors who were looking for a good welcome and an ordered environment in a community space then the Stratford PictureHouse E15 came out tops. From the security guy to the ushers, the complimentary cup of tea-makers to the receptionist who bothers to look up, these were markers which enabled seniors to feel visible and wanted as clients. Good on yer PictureHouse E15!
