That Strange Building in The Old Royal Naval College

Okay, folks, thanks to Anonymous, it is all becoming clear. The strange building I saw last night is actually just made of cardboard or polystyrene or some other flimsy substance and is part of a set for The Duchess, which is about Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, the 18th Century version of Princess Di. Mr/Ms Anonymous tells me that it will star the omnipresent Kiera Knightly and Ralph Fiennes. Well - there you go.

The London Lowdown said...: So that's what it's for! I saw some workmen knocking it together the other day and did wonder. It's great the Old Royal Naval College gets used for sets - just a few months ago I was wandering through the set of National Treasure II. I almost saw Ed Harris. Well I saw a chair with his name on it.

Great blog by the way - I shall link to it from mine.; 12 October 2007 19:02

About Me

Name: The Greenwich Phantom

Location: Greenwich, London, United Kingdom

Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.
