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.

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
