Ronny Abraham, distinguished jurist and judge at the International Court of Justice, enjoying a half bottle of red wine at Le Cave de Bruno.


Charlie Brookes (ex-EastEnders) filling a bright red, heavily modded Lambretta at Goose Green petrol station.


Aviva CEO Amanda Blanc in the queue at Stephanie's one morning. I did not think it was a good idea to raise my scandalously high renewal notice with her, as neither of us had had our morning coffee.

This one is real:

Lovely Cockney sparrer, Lorraine Chase, alighting from bus (185) just past Superdrug, looking fantastic in eighties garb one afternoon last week

 

I could have sworn I shared the lift with her at DMK station before Christmas and having seen this post can only assume I was right!

I left East Dulwich and have since returned 10 years later and this thread is still on the first page of the forum. I need some time to process this...

 

It's like a mirage

The closer you get to Dog Kennel Hill, the more you realise that the famous person you thought you are seeing isn't actually there.

Hopefully later today someone will believe they have seen Zelensky shopping for fighter jets....

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Dulwich Park at the weekend

 

She and Jason Statham have a house up College Road somewhere. Seen them both very occasionally.


Have to say a lot of the names on here I have no idea who they are and would never recognise them anyway!

Sadly far more likely to find Boris shopping for houses (or mistresses or loan guarantors...)

  • Haha 1

I admit this may be more notable than famous IYSWIM but: Nobel prize winner for economics Angus Deaton, drinking coffee outside Romeo Jones.


Also this week: Strictly host and singer Alesha Dixon, buying Pom Bears at the cafe in Dulwich Park.

Interior designer to the stars, Nicky Haslam, wearing a lovely camel coat. I considered asking him where he got it, but I'm probably not wealthy or cool enough to buy it.


Also, Baroness "Come on, Arlene" Foster of Aghadrumsee DBE, trying to pay with cash in Redemption. I did not see whether the payment was in exchange for ash or just a coffee.

I heard that Siouxsie Sioux has moved to Dulwich...As a saddo fangirl I live in hope of spotting her!

There is hope yet! She's a friend & client of ours at The Wingless Bird.
We've been cat sitting while she's touring for the first time in 10 years.

Incredible to see her up there on stage.

Either you are on the lookout for famous people all the time, Dulwich is a magnet for famous people or you're like the bloke in the chip shop who swears he's Elvis. 🤔

Well, this is incredible news. I have told the Baron and he is beyond excited!

The Sun refers to the reformed football hooligan but just talks about the violence.  Are you a fan of the 'reformed junkie and racist' too - Roy Larner, who I witnessed on Rye Lane giving his unpleasant views on Muslims?

He doesn't fight at football anymore so he is a reformed football hooligan, whatever your high and mighty views of his past may be. I'd far sooner run into him on a petrol forecourt for a chat that most folk round here who's idea of chewing the fat is having a whinge about someone parking in the wrong place or the fees of the local private school. 

The Sun article glorified football violence.  If he is a reformed character helping sick children in a hospital or re-homing orphan animals then I'd love to know.  Otherwise hurting people for entertainment, as opposed to say joining a boxing or martial arts club, sounds like he is (or was) a psychopath,

As for your disdain for locals you can look at it two ways.  Very similar to football.  In the past it was real and edgy but with violence (be it the Old Den or Lordship Lane).  Gentrification has it's annoyances, commoditisation of football has in part destroyed the game I love.  I find it hard to go to Dulwich Hamlet with all the recent newcomers who have little or no footballing heritage.

But I welcome the safety and quality of both football and Lordship Lane.

OK off to the best pub in Britain (the Blythe) to watch moneybags state funded Manchester City in the semi.  Join me and we can continue the chat.  There will be Millwall and Palace watching but no bother!  And a pound a pint cheaper than SE22 (and a real pub, the Castle is the last one left in Dulwich).  Heavens there are about four different threads in my post.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
