Last orders film in on telly I see

[ernesto]

an opportune time for youse old timers all to bang on about how good the wishing well was, before dawn of the bugaboo beard apocalypse ( it wasnt BTW)

[Louisa]

Yeah so much better now days in Peckham with all the student drunks and hipster wannabes from all over town jumping the overground drunk and rowdy p@$%ing in the streets and generally turning the area into even more of a dustbin than it already was. Yeah great place.

Louisa.

Really - you honestly think the people p***ing in the streets of Peckham are students and hipsters?

[Earl Aelfheah]

I'm confused by this thread. What's 'film in on telly I see' mean? Is the Wishing Well closing?.... to become...a urinal? Can someone clarify what the hell this is all about?

[Earl Aelfheah]

The title of this thread seems to have been composed by Yoda.

[Jeremy]

You really think the young Peckham blow-ins are rowdy? You must have led a sheltered life!

[Earl Aelfheah]

Peckham has always welcomed 'blow ins'. People have moved there from all over the place, different countries, cultures, styles, creeds etc. The Hipster is just the latest incomer and adds to the diversity of the area.

Anyway, to clarify - is the Wishing Well closing and if so, anyone know what's happening to it?

[BrandNewGuy]

No it's not. To clarify the OP, the film "Last Orders" (which is excellent) features some scenes filmed in Bellenden Road back in 2000. Here are some stills:

Got it. Thanks BNG

[El Pibe]

erm, didn't the wishing well go some time ago? Victoria now or am i misremembering?

Ahh, linky confirms.

[Louisa]

I'm not prepared to compromise on this one. The same happened in Shoreditch with all the bell-end brigade invading the place on Friday and Saturday nights treating the place like a party central forgetting about local residents and literally urinating in the streets an being rowdy into the wee small hours and forgetting its predominantly a residential area. Exactly the same is happening in Peckham unfortunately.

' Bell-end brigade ' ??

The problem with Shoreditch is that since around 5 years ago, crowds of pissed up pillocks from Essex have been descending en masse every Fri/Sat night. Peckham isn't quite in that bracket yet (and it still only has a handful of bars).

Someone actually nicked my pint on Saturday in Peckham

How low can you go - Pinching a mans pint :(.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Comparing Peckham to Shoreditch is laughable. The fact is that Peckham has for a long time been a dynamic area and it continues to change. Despite all the hype and petty grumbles, walking down Rye Lane feels much the same as it did 10 years ago.

Still that bad huh?

Only joshing, I like Peckham. Used to quicken my step a bit as a teenager walking home late through Peckham, but there were some right rough parts back then.

[Earl Aelfheah]

It's not Marylebone.

[Louisa]

Peckham feels the same in the daytime but night time is very different. As I say, especially weekend nights. The roughest areas have all gone now so with the party culture and rising house prices comes the age old story of London. Not sure about dynamic, it's still a mix of arty student, ethnic grocer and middle class do me up blow ins. Just think that mix is at a tipping point of change. I still don't go down there much as everything I want and need can be found in Bromley, Stratford or Lewisham.

Fri/Sat night from 10 onwards you get lots of young 'uns milling around the station area (presumably making their way to the Bussey Building). But it's not like it's become the new... er.. anything, really.

Just gob (visibly, so those nearby can see) in your pint when you receive it from bar person.

Unlikely to get nicked then. And if it does get nicked you have the (admittedly, small) consolation that they probably drank your gob.

Simples.

Oh dear, crying with laughter. I lived in Wapping in the late 80s and went to a couple of clubs in the Shoreditch area. Sounds like yours was in a parallel reality!
