Wasteland by colourful flats just before Elephant & Castle


Recommended Posts

This morning as I went down Walworth Road on the bus towards E&C, the wasteland by flats was a hive of activity, busses, trailers etc. Looked like something may be being filmed there. This seems to happen fairly regularly, is this just a popular filming location or is there a particular show regularly filmed there.... or am I entirely wrong and its something different altogether?

Please don't mention The Walworth Road as I will become misty-eyed and homesick and nostalgic 26 years since I departed that wondrous place.


Haven't been back there since, well last Thursday actually...:)


You can take the Boy away from The Walworth Road but you can't take The Walworth Road away from The Boy...

Well I'm a massive loser, but I was watching Celebrity Masterchef a month or so back, and one of their tasks was to feed a hungry film crew.


It was Ashes to Ashes.


And it looked for all the world like that lot.


And Gene Hunt was there. Are they making a third series? Tell me that they are and that the redoubtable Philip Glennister's going to be in the vicinity...

I think Pip's brother Robert is an ED-ite, Rosie, so just befriend him and then swap saddles when his brother appears. Maybe he'll call you Bollyknickers.


Anyway, Hunt's over-rated. A2A is all about the fiercely heterosexual Ray.

Ooh Ted, I've just come over all unnecessary: if he called me Bollyknickers I'm sure I would die with pleasure on the spot.


My gay childhood hairdresser looked uncannily like a besilked, besunbedded, behighlighted Ray. He left me for Joan Rivers.

    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
