Dulwich Picture Gallery has recently become aware a scammer who has been operating in the local area mascaraing as a Gallery member of staff. On 8th August a resident on Turney Road was called on by a man claiming to work at the Gallery called ?Jack?. Jack asked her for money, ?60-70 for a taxi to Essex, claiming that his pregnant wife was about to give birth. The resident was told that the money would be paid back to her, that the gallery would ensure it, and that she would get a bottle of wine for her troubles. Fortunately the resident was wise enough to not give him any money and the incident was reported to the police.


The man was white, medium build and height. Short brown hair and in his early 40s.


Please be aware that this individual is not connected to Dulwich Picture Gallery. If you become aware of anything similar in the future please inform the police and Gallery on [email protected]

    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
    • Nearly a quarter of the way through the season. Week 9 points...   Week 9 table...  
    • The yoghurt was very sharp (not sure of right word) and  if memory serves quite runny. Nothing like the stuff sold now. There was pink as well. Strawberry? That must have had sugar in? Too new fangled for us, but my Auntie Grace down the road used to get it 😂 Well, you had to keep up to date. Sorry, couldn't resist.
