I feel like this is a trick question...what is this place called?

It should be called Granville Arcade of course, built on the site of the Carlton Club.

Everywhere was fields once. Apart from the oceans. And the forests. And the other bits that never had fields.

Some might have been fields before they got all crinkled up.

They're filming an ad in Electric Ave, in front of William Hill. They say it's for Sky's coverage of the Ashes. The stars seem to be a pair of lolloping golden retrievers. The crew are at their wit's end - too many people asking them what's going on and talking to the dogs, which are clearly having a great day out

yes yes, just saw that! Also managed to annoy the self-important auteur panicking about dog control who asked me: 'Lovie, could you stay out of shot for a minute?' ha!

My reflex reaction to a comment like that is to then do everything I can to remain permanently in shot.

You should have seen their faces when I said I was going home to get my cat so she could meet such friendly dogs! I've half a mind to do it.

Well actually, the fields were originally forests, heathland etc etc. Terrible innovation, fields.

Or Mike The Bike, aka Mike Hailwood? A great motorcycle racing champion who died going to the fish and chip shop.

Has anyone seen the Aero ad? I don't normally watch ads as I fast forward them, but definitely looks like Kennington Park

It is correctly known as the Lost World.

The artist obviously couldn't find a photogenic location around Morrish Road/New Park Road which is the actual location at the top of Brixton Hill of the watershed between the River Effra and various tributaries of the River Wandle, and remained the boundary between the parishes of Lambeth, Clapham and Streatham for some nine hundred years.

I keep thinking it's a bit of hackney but then I think that about most london based adverts
