Famous East Dulwich residents

[SimonM]

Enid Blyton was here for about 5 minutes I think? :))

[Keef]

I saw that Sean MacGabbann from the East Dulwich Forum drinking in The Plough last week. He's dead famous!

She was born here I think.

Yes, Enid Blyton born here.

Other East Dulwich blue plaques...

- Percy Lane Oliver, founder of the first voluntary blood donor service

- C.S. Forester, novelist

- Boris Karloff (born William Henry Pratt), actor

- Phyllis Pearsall, creator of the London A-Z

Along with Enid Blyton, I think that's the lot. Anyone know any more?

Well, just to link up a couple of threads, i don't know if he is local, but apparently actor Neil Stuke (from Game On, etc, you'll know his face, looks a bit like Marc Warren from Hustle) is rumoured to have a stake in the new Franklins shop. He has certainly been sighted on site.

[SimonM]

Yes I saw him in there on Opening Day. Didn't look like a customer either!

The Stooges used to live in the flat above me, some years ago.

[HonaloochieB]

Oh, no sorry. My mistake. It was that useless, inconsiderate and noisy prick, Sinead.

Apologies if I accidently misled anyone.

I saw Jo Brand sitting eating outside Petit Chou food all round her mouth and smoking a fag.

I cannot for the life of me understand why she is so large, she hardly consumes anything, she eats like a bird............

....a hungry vulture.

What an absolutely and utterly charming image you convey.Thanks for that (6)

..and I was just about to have my breakfast, for some reason now I'm not so keen::o

Caron Wheeler and the guy from Boney M both used to live in Playfield Crescent (not together though!)

[Jeremy]

Chris Eubank!

Jennie Eclair is a firm Camberwellite and would be mortified if she knew people said she lives in Dulwich. She takes great pride in living in Camberwell and frequently writes how pleased she is not to live in ED!!! I live close to Adrian Lester

[David Mc]

I saw her maid (well I presume so because she was all dolled up in a maid's "uniform") washing the dishes when I walked past going to Denmark Hill Station this morning)... How many Camberwellites have maids?

I wonder how one would go about getting one of those...

[Asset]

uniform or maid?

[Jeremy]

I was actually thinking of one of these "dolled up" maids, it all sounds a bit... kinky.

Or am I being a little bit too imaginative?

[Asset]

I think you can get rubber versions

[Ginster]

I've saw Neil Stuke last weekend (mentioned in another thread, works in the new Franklins shop).

Have seen Tracy from Corrie (Kate Ford) quite a few times in the summer when heavily pregnant.

Walked past James Nesbitt on Lordship Lane.

Girl from Peep Show Olivia Colman quite a few times.

And Richard Grieve (Neighbours/Home and Away and now Jonny Foster in Emmerdale) lives a few doors down from me, used to have black hair but now is a silver fox!

[MrBen]

I was in Hisars for dinner with Patrick (John Travolta from the Office) last week. Not a resident but deserves a mention. It's not every day you get to sample neck of lamb with Flashdance MC Hammer type shee-yat.

But in SE22 Sean Mcghabhan is by far the most famous resident. Everyone knows that.

Blimey, just google imaged Neil Stuke, if he works in there I'll be there every day!
