I saw this going on. There was a Rover P6 and one of those old turquoise police cars from the 60s parked on Strakers Road, so my first thought was that they were filming George Gently. But then I saw the rest of the crew over where the old changing rooms used to be and thought it looked a bit big for a TV show.


But the day before, I saw a film crew with even more trailers and cars in Burgess Park. Was this the same film or something else? I walked right through them but didn't see anyone famous, and there weren't any period cars or costumes in view.

I had no idea they filmed there either! I just did a search and it seems it was the second episode of series 7, in the scenes where Lucas meets his Russian 'wife' who's been sent to get him working for them. I think he's jogging through the cemetery and she's suddenly there in his path.


I've often wondered why people never film at the top of One Tree Hill, where there's that nice view of the city. I assumed it was because it's south London, and TV film crews tend to prefer staying north, or at least rarely venture very far south of the Thames. But clearly Spooks is prepared to go to Nunhead (perhaps because they were based in Bermondsey) so why not One Tree Hill? Even the walk up to the top has the right kind of atmosphere for a shady meeting of Harry's with some Russians or Hugh Laurie or something.

    • As we know Love Dulwich is now a Turkish meze grill restaurant and today they have started their lunch time special. A choice of a cold or hot starter (4 of each to choose from), plus a main meal (4 the choose from including a veggie meal) £15. I had hummus with the softest, warm bread to dip in it (you can ask for more bread) and then chicken shesh, 3 types of salad (onion & sumac, red cabbage & traditional leaf), bulgar - huge portions.   The food was tasty and delicious. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavour, salad was fresh and the bulgar was cooked perfectly.  If you didn’t want the lunch special they also had the main menu which was small but with some amazing meal, chicken, veggie & fish options.  We really enjoyed it and will be back to sample the evening menu as well.   
    • Nikolay's work was recommended by several forum users in here, and we decided to go with his services after getting his quote: it was well priced, with the cost of each component clearly broken down. We recently purchased a Victorian conversion in Catford which had alot of damaged floorboards (old, but also damaged from badly done DIY repairs) which needed replacing, and a 4 x 4m bedroom which needed all new floorboards installed as previous owners removed all original boards to install cheap chipboard floors covered with padding and carpets. Nikolay and his team removed the chipboards, and built the floor in 2–3 days from reclaimed boards, alongside doing alot of replacements and repairs to a lounge and dining room. When the quote was to go up due to more repairs being needed (we asked for it) Nikolay communicated the changes, and gave us an updated quote quickly so we could update our budget for it. They were very communicative and gave frequent text and photo progress updates when we could not be there which put us at ease. The whole job was efficiently completed in 6 working days including sanding and staining all the floors. The job was completed to a high standard, and the results were incredible. I still have 1 more bedroom which needs restoring, and I have every intention to go back to Nikolay again for his services.
