Some scenes of Danger UXB were filmed on the school that used to be on Archdale Road and there was a pop video a couple of years ago that was filmed in the old 711 shop. Apparently Idris Elba was seen being filmed around here not so long ago :)


Great idea for a thread whisteria and lovely find re the Green Cross Code kford.

20 or so years ago in Langton Rise (by Camberwell Old Cemetery) I was surrounded by police in full riot gear and carrying automatic weapons who rushed towards me - I only saw the cameras filming an episode of The Bill after I'd had a mild heart attack!

I saw Treacle Jr premier at the London Film Festival. An enjoyable evening made more fun by spotting the various locations close by, Camberwell Old Cemetery where there is a sex scene (not gratuitous/pornographic), the tree he runs into on the Rye and the like. They also go from round here to Waterloo in about a minutes walk, but of course films don't need to respect the urban environment. Its shown occasionally on that London channel you find by mistake, in-between British football and gangster films. On second watching it wasn't so great, makes a difference seeing it in a plush cinema (BFI).


Mr Bean drives up Westwood Park and all he can see is the sky.

Peter Davison was in a drama also filmed on Westwood Park, but can't find it in IMDB, also featured Dulwich Park and Horniman School (obsessive husband who wont let his wife leave him).


And Babylon thingy about the Met Police filmed a shoot out again on Westwood Park - I came home to find police everywhere, but the mobile canteen gave it away.

Slightly off topic perhaps but currently the Musical "Becoming Nancy" getting great reviews in Atlanta & looks like heading for Broadway next year.. based on the book written by lifelong ED resident Terry Ronald & about his early school days & growing up in East Dulwich.. well written with great humour, well worth a read & fingers crossed the musical will get to the west end!


The below clip is "Night Bus" a song from the musical inspired by the N37 - great stuff!

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
