Right,

I have a few more pictures that may or may not be Dulwich. I believe pictures 2, 3, 4 & 7 are Peckham.

See what you think, and thanks in advance again !

The last one looks like it could be the corner of langton rise & Underhill road - looking back down Underhill. If it is then that house left of frame was being used to film Spooks - much inferior show about policing national security- a couple of weeks back.

And Camberwell old cementary backs onto that corner.

Just seen Simon M's post, looks like he agrees, then it is the same house they filmed Spooks, spooky.


And is that army types going into that house, cause when I walked past the Spooks set they had a load of gun toting secret military types running around that house's back garden, perhaps it was a homage.

Years ago there was a photo of John Thaw and Dennis Waterman in the Herne and I was told they filmed part of an episode in the pub. This was confirmed by one of the new owners who told me that a director or producer of the programme owned the Herne once.


Don't know if this was the same episode.

The Herne in Forest Hill Road/Peckham Rye, I think owned by the same people who own the Palmeston in LL. V. popular with the local yummy mummys. Etc etc.


It was, once, a dark south london boozer. Club like almost. Perfect setting for the Sweeny

Looking on Virtual Earth, there is a building on the corner of Upland Rd / Underhill Rd that has a polygon shaped corner. Is that the one you think is in the screen grab ?


And just to clarify, Is Honor Oak Mansions at the junction of Underhill Road and Rydale ?


Thanks guys !

By the way, Regan, following on from your original post and screen grabs featuring the Dawson Heights estate, you might be interested to know a notorious fact about another drinking and womanising legend of the 1970s. In 1980, Bon Scott of AC/DC died on Overhill Road, on the other side of Dawson Heights, where he'd been left to sleep in a friend's car.

I thought it was the cemetary too.


I have a vague memory of one episode being filmed in Dulwich Park by the lake - the field opposite the cafe.Or was that another Police thing.


Mona Lisa was filmed in Dulwich. The crew hired the East Dulwich Community Centre for a few weeks as a base, and used Darrell and Crystal palace road as some of their location shots.


A Tango advert was filmed by the old boat kiosk in Dulwich park - not in the same league as Sweeney

There was a thread about all the things that had been filmed around the area some time ago. Can't link to it now, as using my mobile to post. If someone searches All Dates for Mona Lisa you should find it... Quality film it was too!

Ok. Many thanks to all of you who helped me nail this location.

I went there yesterday and got all the pictures I needed at Dawson Heights and Honor Oak Mansions. Managed to park next to a hearse that was parked up in front of Honor Oak !!


Thanks again one and all !

      Pls recommend internal Victorian door sources

      By KidKruger · Posted

      Thanks Malumbu, but I need level square doors and my experience says skips demonstrate why a door has been discarded ! i’ve also been down the route of buying secondhand doors and then having them dipped to remove the paint and then having them warp in the door frame🤣 thanks for the Sydenham tip, I will look into that.

      Foxes

      By Lynne · Posted

      Every night a fox is dragging our small solar powered pump out from the pond and chewing through the cable.  Two questions. One, of course, is why? What does it gain from it? Second is how can we stop it . We've tried taking the pump out at night but since most of the cable runs under the path, we can't put it very far away. We've tried weighing it down after removal but the fox, after a couple of days has learned to push the weights away. It seems to be enjoying the contest. We're not. Any fox experts with suggestions would be welcomed.

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.
