Right,

I have a few more pictures that may or may not be Dulwich. I believe pictures 2, 3, 4 & 7 are Peckham.

See what you think, and thanks in advance again !

The last one looks like it could be the corner of langton rise & Underhill road - looking back down Underhill. If it is then that house left of frame was being used to film Spooks - much inferior show about policing national security- a couple of weeks back.

And Camberwell old cementary backs onto that corner.

Just seen Simon M's post, looks like he agrees, then it is the same house they filmed Spooks, spooky.


And is that army types going into that house, cause when I walked past the Spooks set they had a load of gun toting secret military types running around that house's back garden, perhaps it was a homage.

ahh pre P.A.C.E. days,i bet all old coppers yearn for them.

Years ago there was a photo of John Thaw and Dennis Waterman in the Herne and I was told they filmed part of an episode in the pub. This was confirmed by one of the new owners who told me that a director or producer of the programme owned the Herne once.


Don't know if this was the same episode.

Looking on Virtual Earth, there is a building on the corner of Upland Rd / Underhill Rd that has a polygon shaped corner. Is that the one you think is in the screen grab ?


And just to clarify, Is Honor Oak Mansions at the junction of Underhill Road and Rydale ?


Thanks guys !

By the way, Regan, following on from your original post and screen grabs featuring the Dawson Heights estate, you might be interested to know a notorious fact about another drinking and womanising legend of the 1970s. In 1980, Bon Scott of AC/DC died on Overhill Road, on the other side of Dawson Heights, where he'd been left to sleep in a friend's car.

I thought it was the cemetary too.


I have a vague memory of one episode being filmed in Dulwich Park by the lake - the field opposite the cafe.Or was that another Police thing.


Mona Lisa was filmed in Dulwich. The crew hired the East Dulwich Community Centre for a few weeks as a base, and used Darrell and Crystal palace road as some of their location shots.


A Tango advert was filmed by the old boat kiosk in Dulwich park - not in the same league as Sweeney

Ok. Many thanks to all of you who helped me nail this location.

I went there yesterday and got all the pictures I needed at Dawson Heights and Honor Oak Mansions. Managed to park next to a hearse that was parked up in front of Honor Oak !!


Thanks again one and all !

    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -   
    • A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.
    • Went to the Harvester a couple of times to have a beer in the garden, it was quite popular and had a 'certain' charm.
