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......

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
