Music video - spot the local locations, fun thread

[malumbu]

By chance II saw the band Truthpaste filming this whilst walking early in 2024, and was reminded when Mark Riley played the track the other night on Six Music

Wood Vale is pretty obvious, Netherby and Canonbie, One Tree Hill? Peckham Rye?

Got Mark and Lard mixed up, jeepers creepers (there is a joke there)

Try Woodvale, not Wood Vale and no, it's not Canonbie

Perhaps you could be pleasant rather than pedantic.  This is supposed to be a bit of fun but you have managed to already make it divisive.  I expect others will be more jolly.

It’s Wood Vale. 
Kim Libretto’s big yellow taxi is unmistakable.

Fake taxi I'm afraid, Ford Consul made to look like a NY cab.  But very photogenic!

Some day a real rain will come…

I spy Camberwell New Cemetery and crematorium, Wood Vale, Top of Forest Hill Road, Netherby Road and somewhere on the heights - maybe top of Canonbie?

I enjoyed!

Are you sure it's not Camberwell Old Cemetery, which is the one opposite Libretto's?

[malumbu]

I've not done a forensic analysis - on a second viewing:

Going up Sydenham Hill from London Road/Lordship Lane, junction with Underhill and Langton with Camberwell Old Cemetery, Honor Oak Rec and the adjacent cemetery, Netherby Road and top of Canonbie (really don't see the point of Jazzer's post).

Of the woodland and open space, I thought One Tree Hill, some of it looks like Sydenham Hill Woods, but could also be Camberwell Old Cemetery.

That was the longest four minutes of my life, mal.

I forced myself to watch to the end 🤣

I didn't recognise any of it 🤣

No.

Why would I post something which wasn't true?

I didn’t mean to suggest that!

I just had an idea that such a regular contributor to a forum about the local area would spot some of the more obvious locations featured in the video, even if they didn’t dig the tune.

A common problem!

Nice topic and nice song! 

1) Definitely top of Canonbie, looking North.

2) What used to be Francesca Cabrini school at the top of FHR.

3) Honor Oak playground, next to Camberwell New cemetery.
