I have a strong suspicion that the place was named after a saint, though.

What is an irreligious saint?
 
And you're saying that the estate was not named after a saint, but was a purely coincidental concatenation of letters? Hey, it's a theory.

The link explains who the area and estate and hospital are named after. Have a look perhaps. It’s not a saint.
 
You can go back as far as you like with X named after Y named after Z, but at some point something (probably the place in Jersey) was named after a saint known as St Helier. About which the average person knows nothing apart from the name. I am not sure why people appear to wish to spend so much time obscuring this unremarkable fact.

Those KFC ads that they're showing during the World Cup are filmed in Croydon. One of them is on Westfield Rd by Wandle Park, I recognise some of the other locations but can't place them.

Is there a link to a you tube ad? I don't watch football.
 
On the itv idents its a view of Central Croydon- Nestles and Taberner House and that.

And the Lucozade advert with the bloke dancing down the road is filmed in my grandparents old road, Chaucer Green in addiscombe
 
There was some recent advert that was filmed on Gloucester road. I forget what it was for. Some kid was doing the hoola hoop.

Ah, just saw the underpass in a KFC thing.

Ooh ooh, and now an ITV ident. Famous.
 
Yeah that's the lucozade one. His house is chaucer green but you see him in a coupla different local locations
Wonder what he was doing all the way over there. Not sure I have ever actually been to Chaucer Green. I did wonder if that other location was also in Croydon.
That Mika video for his song about fat girls is filmed in surrey street market etc.
 
I'm sure we've had this one before but...



The building they're in for part of it is the Friends Meeting House on Park Lane (opposite my old office)
 
The day I had to crawl there with an appendix that was about to burst (it came on very suddenly. it's not like I was sitting on it) what if that was today? It's going to be that day for loads of people every day.

About this time last year, I was in St Georges A & E for about 12 hours prior to an emergency admission 😡
