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’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
