Jenny Eclair's house

[downsouth]

Where is it exactly? The last pic looks like the black house at the top of Dog Kennel Hill

You are correct, it's at the top of DKH. With a roller parked outside.

She is obviously trying to keep a low profile.

[lozzyloz]

She makes Richard B look shy.

[downsouth]

So why does she say Denmark Hill? There's no such place. It's a road going through Camberwell.

Anyway, i love that house. I've driven past it a few times and admired it as it is what all modern homes should be - unapolgetically modern, elegant and stylish.

Hats off to Mr Eclair!

[Jeremy]

People often describe the area they live by the name of the nearest station... it's not uncommon!

[downsouth]

I know that but I've never heard around there called Denmark Hill. Always Camberwell. The only place I know called Denmark Hill is the Salvation Army campus.

[Jah Lush]

Her husband Geof though? With one F. That is just so wrong. Lovely house though.

Alan? ALAN! Get in here.. this thread's got your name written all over it..

[Brendan]

Doesn't look modern to me. Looks a bit '70s.

There is no place called Denmark Hill but the 'hill' ifself is called Denmark Hill. The hill was named after the person who used to own the land..

[Jessie]

I always call it Denmark Hill round there. Not too fussed about the house though, either exterior and from reading the Indie today interior, but then I'm a bit boho and quite like clutter

Wikipedia has this to say about it:

?In John Cary's map of 1786 the area is shown as Dulwich Hill. The only building apparent is the 'Fox under the Hill', on the site of today's 'Fox on the Hill' pub. The name of the area was changed to Denmark Hill in honour of the husband of Queen Anne, Prince George of Denmark, who lived there.?

[downsouth]

Yep that's exactly what I thought. But we're confusing DKH and Denmark Hill. Denmark Hill runs to the top and on the way down is Herne Hill.

[Jah Lush]

A "Hill" it may well be, but surely she lives on Dog Kennel Hill?

[Brendan]

Yeah. You're right. It's just that from ED you go over Dog Kennel Hill to get to Denmark Hill Station. so it all gets a bit confusing. :-S

Oh and there's a funny looking house on the way.

[Alan Dale]

That article is cr@p. Woman lives in unusual house in area she doesn't like much.

So what?

She lives on Grove Lane.

The house is ok but it's a bit embarrassing that you can see her guffawing dinner parties through the transparent blinds as you walk past.

Privacy was obviously not a priority for the design but then her red lip-stick is similarly indiscrete.

[Michael Palaeologus]

She must have a great security system, if ever a place screamed "rob me" its Eclair-Towers.

red lipstick? slut

I thought that was red shoes?

[Jah Lush]

I'm sure she speaks very highly of you too Rosie.

[Alan Dale]

I doubt she's a slag Rosie but you are entitled to your opinion.

Personally I think that the lipstick is about attention seeking. That is her job though and apparently she tones it down in Sainsbury's.

[Jessie]

I think RosieH was using irony

[Alan Dale]

Oh right thanks for that Jessie! Good job you are here to signpost the irony.

[RosieH]

sorry, should have used a punctuation face but I don't like them (that's another thread) - Alan it was your reference to her being indiscreet

personally I like both Jenny Eclair and red lipstick

PS - red shoes is no knickers

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

plus fur coat?
