Wansteadium reader Peter sends intelligence from Forest School, which he says is “sort of Wanstead, E17 postcode notwithstanding”.
Filming going on this week for The Death & Life of John F Donovan about a American actor (Kit Harington) & his controversial correspondence with an English schoolboy. Forest is standing in for the English school. Big name cast according to IMDB (Natalie Portman, Kathy Bates, Thandie Newton, Susan Sarandon, Michael Gambon). Not sure of any of the big name actors on location here.
“about a American actor” ??

Natalie Portman and Susan Saradon in Snaresbrook!
They’ve been filming all week – access to Sylvestrian Leisure Centre has been a nightmare!

Not Wanstead though, is it? It’s barely even Snaresbrook. Basically it’s Walthamstow — it’s E17.
