Hollywood Films London’s Hill Movies
GORDON Smart, the Sun’s estate-agent-showbiz-PR hybrid, says “Hollywood film-makers” have been scouting Primrose Hill.
Smart hears a source say the film could be the new “Notting Hill”.
Anorak foresees a whole series of London “Hill” films:
Parliament Hill – Jude Law and Rhys Ifans strap their feet to charity collection tins and climb the hill to strike a blow for due process
Dollis Hill: It’s 6:34 am and two men are trying to work out if it’s better to walk to Willesden Green Tube or cut through to Edgeware Road and take the bus
Shooters Hill – Three South London toughs storm Severndroog Castle with the power of gangsta rap and moody stares
Muswell Hill – Will Armani get to the tennis club on time? Will anyone be able to leave when the bust strike strikes?!
Cornhill – The highest point in the City. A rights of passage story as a money trader reaches the top with an aim to end it all only to discover a Starbucks at the summit and a new career as a barrista
Denmark Hill – The cast of EastEnders produce an al fresco Hamlet
Herne Hill – Barry Hearne [sic] flattens the hill and turns it into London’s biggest snooker table. His plans are upset when a team of bigshot Americans try to buy the land and use it as pool table by way to Kentucky Blue Grass and cunnning
Tower Hill – Hugh Grant stars as bumbling foppish and vegetarian Beefeater who falls in love with a visiting German tourist.
In all cinemas, good, bad and shabby…

Bedford Hill, near Balham tube station…….Tulse Hill, June, near Brixton could certainly tell a few stories.
Aaah! Balham .The gateway to the south. The Bedford pub. The Ducane Court apartments where many celebrities have lived over the years. A couple of tube stops from Tooting Broadway where you can find the Castle pub that American actor(legend)John Wayne visted back in the 50s……..and Topsham road in Tooting where a youngster called Jimmy White grew up and first picked-up a snooker cue in a local snooker club. Tooting is also the place where an Anorakian entered the world……JB
in Brazil.
Yes, Hollywood could make an entertaining movie about south London!
