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!

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
