cant remember the programme, he was to walk past a second hand shop & see something in the window -

St.Georges walk used to be used a lot due to the empty units & classic 60s architecture.
A scene from 'made in Dagenham' 0ff top of my head & only about 3-4 years ago a terrorist type film, where theyy actually made it look like a souk !
big tower block in west cronx, main road used regulary for outside the flat shoots in 'peep show'
My old house in central croydon was used for a short film many years ago(never got a penny for it!)
'The Bill' used to love filming around Duppas & under the flyover.

Yes it was used in Bandersnatch, as well as the 50p building outside East Croydon station (where the fictional games companies HQ was)

Black Mirror - Bandersnatch filmed in Croydon. And. and. damn there was an action movie I was watching a while back and there was a cafe scene in 'Turkey' which was in fact St George's Walk and it completely ruined the whole film for me as I couldn't get the fact it was in Croydon out of my head. Was a good film up until that point.

Stone the crows, it's all a bit different from a how I remember it. Can't believe how Surrey Street looks. Do they still have market stalls there? I used to go swimming in the Scarbrook Road baths close by and my Mum was a waitress in the Blue Room restaurant at Kennards which was probably 3rd after Grants and Allders, but it had a great arcade running from North End to Drummond Road I think, which I remember wandering through many a time.

Anyway, good video and pleased you shared it. Thanks for the memories.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
