Are you suggesting I am somehow uncool in my reporting of (semi) celebs? This is a celeb spotting thread after all.... I would love to be able to report back on a higher quality of celeb, but Nelson Mandela I am led to believe had no immediate plans to visit to the area. I may grab a copy of Heat this week though... could be some other celeb types sifting about who I don't yet recognise...

Often see Rob Da Bank on the 63 (is he even a 'celeb'?)


OK, it's not East Dulwich, but last summer I saw THE ACTUAL QUEEN on Old Kent Road, near Toys R Us. I was forced to pull over as a massive motorcade went past, and there she was. She didn't wave.

I saw a fellah in the green cafe near the Plough the other week who I knew I knew but couldn't place, really started to annoy me. Then I went to collect a parcel a few days later from the sorting office and what do you know? There he was.


Behind the counter. I knew I knew him from somewhere.

This is supposed to be a Famous people thread. Famous is someone like Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Donald Sutherland, and Bill Clinton. A sighting of Clint was reported when he was filming in Nunhead. Most of the people reported on here are repetitively listed. That is because they either live in ED or environs. It's sad.

Relatively unfamous they may be, they are still the most famous people I have seen in ED so far.....


But I guess to be pedantic, if the thread is about the single most famous person, I would say Jo Brand. And yes, I agree, it is sad, we deserve a better quality of celeb (not that there is anything wrong with old Jo Jo)!


For the record, I don't think I would recognise Donald Sutherland...

I'm sure I saw Phil Collins walking past Moxon's last Tuesday.

I was on the other side of the road and was going into His Lordship launderette, and though my eyesight isn't the absolute best, I'm sure for some reason I could hear him coming in the air.


I was going in there to do some dyeing.

Oh, Lord.

I have seen Mr Griffiths from Grange Hill in Saino's on a number of occasions. Only those of you who fit in the 32-38 year old age bracket will know who I am talking about, but a legend of my childhood nonetheless...


Unfortunately he no longer wears a tight adidas tracksuit...

A colleague at work called out a locksmith one day to his flat in Clerkenwell and who should turn up but....

....Zammo McGuire from Grange Hill!!!

He's a locksmith in central London apparently (which explains why he turned up to fix a lock...)

Probably doesn't do ED sadly...

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
