Haven't seen anyone famous in East Dulwich for a year or five, but the very first time I went in Sainsburys at Dog Kennel Hill I saw the bloke who played 'Bullet' Baxter in Grange Hill (Michael Cronin), and I saw Steve Frost there a couple of times.


Oh, I saw a woman who was a regular in Brookside in the late '80s on East Dulwich Grove, about 8 years ago. She was also in an episode of Red Dwarf.

Miranda Richardson! now that's a new one. I'm pretty sure we haven't had her on here before. Here's another one who I sometimes bump into (not literally of course) because I think she lives around the corner from me. Waiting for a bus on Lordship Lane - Helen Lederer. Not hugely well known I know but...there you go.

yes, well admittedly Miranda was a few years back now and she did have the slightly distracted look of someone just 'passing through'.

ooh, and the chap that plays Catherine Tate's grandson to her gran character. Seen him twice. Don't know his name but could be one to watch. Bit like James Nesbitt. When he was first spotted around here, he was only a bloke in a chocolate advert.

Miranda Richardson did live in Forest Hill in the middle/late 80s...."a few years back" you say? :)) Could have been visitng old friends of course...

Aha, I've got a good one here!


Bloke off ITV Play - you know, that late night thing when you come home drunk, switch on the TV and there's some bloke with spiky hair gurning at you saying "Can you guess what the word is? Do you fancy a grand? Come on, pick up the phone. Imagine what you'd do with the money. If you don't pick up the phone you can't win. But if you do, you could win. So what are you gonna do..." etc etc. ad nauseam.


I think he looked a bit pleased when I clocked him. Perhaps he doean't get recognised that much?

Stuart Staples from Nottingham band The Tindersticks must live around here because I've seen him twice in the last year - once on a weekday afternoon in a bar in Forest Hill (not on his own, with some "Scene" type people)


For those going "Tinder-who?" they are most likely known as the band that Tony Soprano comes out of his daze to near the end of Series 1 (track called "Tiny Tears". They make up an ocean you know)

Capt.B said - "BBC News reporter John Pienar (sp?) was at the Fair on Sunday"


He was in the Soft Play area at Peckham Pulse with his daughter(?) a while back. My lil' boy (about 18mths) went over to him, pointed and started saying Bear, Bear. Pienar found it pretty amusing.


Also saw Adrian Lester in Blue Mountain with his little girl (?) not that long ago.

I haven't read the whole thread so don't know if this one's been mentioned already - Last year Kelly Brook and Billy Zane having coffee at the deli in the village. Deli had never been so busy!

I was sitting in the Dog one afternoon when the Queen and her hubby drove through the village, fairly low key only two outriders with them. They were however in the tall windowed fish tank style car so we got a good look.

Apparently Erin O'Conner lives in ED and has been spotted in Sainsbury's.

    • Yacoub did an excellent job repairing and reconditioning on our old staircase. He was prompt and highly communicative throughout the process. His diligence, honesty and craftsmanship is greatly appreciated. His mobile is 07782490146.
    • Sorry, should’ve said it was about 5:30 pm.   
    • Yesterday was a school day and it was 8⁰! I'm not sure what kind of truanting youth in arctic survival gear you expected to be out there! How many people were having a drink in the pub, just out of interest? Many people enjoying a meal in the restaurant? Any overnight guests in the upstairs rooms? A lot of bar staff on duty yesterday by any chance?
    • Skateboarding is so misunderstood...it is more technical than ballet and the use of drink is not very compatible with a  practise that requires rare dedication and degrees of skill and coordination impossible with alcohol and for most people... impossible at any time. The mutual support and encouragement in that culture is something to be valued.   My Godson's friend had just taken his life which really put things into perspective for me. being trapped alone in a bedroom instead is not great for mental health...   think of the access previous generations had to no mans land.     London has always been a place where wealthy corporate areas remain next to areas of interesting creativity.  The skateboarders beneath south bank centre have a constant audience of tourists;  places like that keep London from becoming stagnant and cold.
