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......

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
