Haven't seen anyone famous in East Dulwich for a year or five, but the very first time I went in Sainsburys at Dog Kennel Hill I saw the bloke who played 'Bullet' Baxter in Grange Hill (Michael Cronin), and I saw Steve Frost there a couple of times.


Oh, I saw a woman who was a regular in Brookside in the late '80s on East Dulwich Grove, about 8 years ago. She was also in an episode of Red Dwarf.

Miranda Richardson! now that's a new one. I'm pretty sure we haven't had her on here before. Here's another one who I sometimes bump into (not literally of course) because I think she lives around the corner from me. Waiting for a bus on Lordship Lane - Helen Lederer. Not hugely well known I know but...there you go.

yes, well admittedly Miranda was a few years back now and she did have the slightly distracted look of someone just 'passing through'.

ooh, and the chap that plays Catherine Tate's grandson to her gran character. Seen him twice. Don't know his name but could be one to watch. Bit like James Nesbitt. When he was first spotted around here, he was only a bloke in a chocolate advert.

Miranda Richardson did live in Forest Hill in the middle/late 80s...."a few years back" you say? :)) Could have been visitng old friends of course...

Aha, I've got a good one here!


Bloke off ITV Play - you know, that late night thing when you come home drunk, switch on the TV and there's some bloke with spiky hair gurning at you saying "Can you guess what the word is? Do you fancy a grand? Come on, pick up the phone. Imagine what you'd do with the money. If you don't pick up the phone you can't win. But if you do, you could win. So what are you gonna do..." etc etc. ad nauseam.


I think he looked a bit pleased when I clocked him. Perhaps he doean't get recognised that much?

Stuart Staples from Nottingham band The Tindersticks must live around here because I've seen him twice in the last year - once on a weekday afternoon in a bar in Forest Hill (not on his own, with some "Scene" type people)


For those going "Tinder-who?" they are most likely known as the band that Tony Soprano comes out of his daze to near the end of Series 1 (track called "Tiny Tears". They make up an ocean you know)

Capt.B said - "BBC News reporter John Pienar (sp?) was at the Fair on Sunday"


He was in the Soft Play area at Peckham Pulse with his daughter(?) a while back. My lil' boy (about 18mths) went over to him, pointed and started saying Bear, Bear. Pienar found it pretty amusing.


Also saw Adrian Lester in Blue Mountain with his little girl (?) not that long ago.

I haven't read the whole thread so don't know if this one's been mentioned already - Last year Kelly Brook and Billy Zane having coffee at the deli in the village. Deli had never been so busy!

I was sitting in the Dog one afternoon when the Queen and her hubby drove through the village, fairly low key only two outriders with them. They were however in the tall windowed fish tank style car so we got a good look.

Apparently Erin O'Conner lives in ED and has been spotted in Sainsbury's.

    • Well, Peckham is a real place, whereas 'Bellenden Village' is an estate agent invention, and is topologically meaningless. 
    • Ok, I'll bite. It depends on what you are after (and budget) but our favourite is Forza Wine. We went when it was cold and dark, but it's a rooftop location so should be even better if it's sunny and bright. Link to review below. There's also a recent review on the site of 139 Fika which was pretty good. I'd say it was in Bellenden but they say it's in Peckham (maybe because it makes it sound cooler!). https://open.substack.com/pub/eatsdulwich/p/restaurant-review-forza-wine?r=8oe6m&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

We needed a tricky installation of a thermal store in a tight space. Rob turned up absolutely on time on both visits and got it all done ...  Quote   Private Message 1 month later...   Forest Hill Phil Posted November 17, 2022 Rob Mills, All Aspects Plumbing (07952 584171)   Called out Rob to fix an urgent and clearly visible water leak from the boiler system which he promptly and efficiently fixed. This left a slow leak with no obvious source.   He made an attempt to find it’s source keeping me up-to-date with what he was doing as I looked on. As it was a slow leak this was not successful and Rob took no money for his time at this stage. I was then able, with some telephone guidance from Rob, to record and feed back what was going on in his absence. This was sufficient for him to diagnose a loss of pressure on the air side of the expansion vessel put it right.   Rob is capable, friendly and considerate and keeps you as informed as you want to be without wasting time. I intend to continue call on him for my plumbing and central heating jobs.  Quote   Private Message 1 month later...   The Minkey Posted December 20, 2022 Another recommendation for Rob Mills. My HW failed last week. Rob came round, diagnosed the boiler issue & fixed it. Very quick & efficient. Reasonable rates. Nice guy too. Will definitely be using him as my go to plumber for the future.  Quote   Private Message 4 weeks later...   hendricks Posted January 13, 2023 Another shout out for Rob. Definitely a keeper in anyone's tradesmen address book. Sorted out my inefficient radiators & also sorted a plumbing issue. Top bloke, will definitely use again.  Quote   Private Message 6 months later...
