Mystery building (corner of Uplands Road and Crystal Palace Road)

[northlondoner]

Seen that big building on the corner of Uplands Road and Crystal Palace Road? The one with the blacked out windows, permanently closed front door, the Hazchem sign on the front and the security cameras front and rear? Oh and with all the comms stuff on the roof ?

WTF is it?

[Horsebox]

An old police station that now houses the Met's South Firearms Enquiry Team.

[northlondoner]

Cripes! I wonder what they made of me just wandering up and knocking on the front door then!

[Horsebox]

I reckon the day to day workings of the place are a lot more mundane than the name suggests.

No need to worry about black helicopters and infra-red beams through the living room window just yet, NL ;-)

[northlondoner]

The very same! Where did that come from? Are you a master criminal?:)

[Pearson]

Simples when you MI5-google-access

(who knows, i might even work there......?)

[northlondoner]

See you at the dead letter drop

[Pearson]

The Uplands?

[northlondoner]

Yes.Mystery surrounds its identity so sounds appropriate.

[Sue]

There's at least one other thread on the forum about this somewhere.

I thought it was supposed to be a "safe house" but who knows.

I know.

It's not a 'safe house'.

[Sue]

Yeh yeh.

You're so credible :)

[jctg]

Are we talking about the house directly opposite The Uplands?

[jctg]

I've just realised we are....

[Pearson]

Yes!

although we all know which one, i'm/we're not allowed to post a google photo of it!

Even though you can all google up my street.... you may even walk past it every day....

Nice one Admin :(

[Andystar]

I heard that an alien spacecraft crashed there in 1947 & that they use the back-engineered UFO technology in the helicopters that fly over Dulwich at night.

[Sue]

Yeh that sounds right :))

[northlondoner]

Whoa Pearson looks like you got" reverse engineered" over your m15 spook cam pix.

[Jeremy]

I don't get it. What's with the removal of the google streetview image?

[d803cn]

Presumably a link is ok

[ianr]

This is all getting a bit silly. http://www.met.police.uk/firearms_licensing/contact_us.html

Still, it's good to learn that one can still own a muzzle-loading handgun.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Has admin stated that the pic can't be posted or is it possible it was accidentally removed - it wouldn't be the first post to have been deleted instead of marked as read for example.

Try posting it again unless he has asked you not to

[Pearson]

Haha clumsy moderator i have been told!

[SeanMacGabhann]

didn't stop all the conspiracy theories floating and Admin being scolded tho did it? A lesson in there somewhere about the mundanity of truth compared with the attrictiveness of a headline. or something

[ianr]

Not wholly sure it's to the point here, but Admin has recently (March 17) said "It is preferred that people attach photos to posts rather than embed them into messages as that facility tends to get abused." http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,27350,page=10
