1). The new Heineken ad on the telly was filmed over 3 days in The Rivoli, Brockley. True.
I didn't know the Rivoli was still there.
I used to live in Crofton Park Road and got the train to school (Sedgehill) and obviously used to see the Rivoli everyday.
Never interested in going inside I was too busy trying to get in the Brockley Jack.

The Rivoli is still going, and used in a lot of films, tv series, etc as it still has the 30s/40s look inside.
Anyway, stop going off topic !

The sweaties always say "just now".0
