Morning Chaps/esses.


Just seen a big old film crew setting up shop a few doors down from me in one of the big grandiose Victorian houses overlooking the Rye (just down from The Gardens/The Clockhouse). I was in my usual manic rush for the bus so didn't get to ask what they were filming for. Does anyone know?

They are filming an insert for the new bond film. They need to re-film a scene that was originally set in one of the failed baltic states, its a fight scene set in a dilapidated children's playground. Instead of flying everyone back out there at great expense they are doing the re-shoots in the playground in Peckham Rye Park, the location scouts reckon it has a similar feel to it. x

I can see this being one of the great trivia questions in years to come.

As well as that, filum buffs will be trying to spot the joins, and then there'll be James Bond people going to the playground in order to mate.

Is East Dulwich twinned with Vilnius? And if we are comparable to a failed baltic state why are my mortgage repayments so high?

I'm surprised anyone believed it in the first place!

not completely implausable a friend of mine worked on the special effects for King Kong, went on holiday Bangkok and got offered a copy of the DVD, problem was that at that point he hadn't even finished the effects on the film

I'm very worried about you DM. You're having a turn; get someone to put your head between your knees and it will pass. Then have a nice cup of tea.

It has been happily neglected in SE15 for many many years, however now that it is really being used by the folk in SE22 things are starting to change. No doubt they will be shifting all the amenities towards the SE22 side ! The moment you walk past Cafe and up though the trees you will suddenly notice, rusty lamposts, a rusty fence, broken signs and a barely functioning Zebra crossing. And lets not forget the derelict splash pool soon to be filled in moved......

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
