A weird pseudo-Wanstead in which the fishmonger is called Jenny, la Bakerie is called La Bakery and the BHF shop is a fake newsagent is being seen on tv in a new advert.
The ad, for Sage Accounting, flashes the doctored view of Wanstead High Street briefly (and was spotted by sharp-eyed Wansteadium reader Ruban Kumarachandran).
It’s not the first time Wanstead High Street’s picturesque attractions have featured in adverts. Who can forget the old laundrette (now Bare Brew) becoming a flowing meadow in a bottled water ad? Or Wanstead Barbers in a bookie’s advert?
The same row is also in Sky News’ local election advert (presumably it won’t be shown after today!) but this time the BHF is still there.
That ad has been on the tu for more than a year. We saw it being filmed in the fishmongers
Would love to see the ad. Do you have a link?

It looks like they re-arranged the inside of the fishmongers and filmed that too.
Pity they can’t spell the word stationery……………
Well it’s not moving…
