Anyone want to play a game? I was just reading an article with this picture and realised I know exactly where this is.

It has a massive clue in the picture, which anyone who knows this part of London will recognise immediately.

Can anyone say where this is?

Or do you have one to share?

No idea...is the clue the yellow roofed building that says WETTA?

GrandmaSharksDentures · 03/05/2019 23:43

It's a Netto - not many around any more

HarryTheSteppenwolf · 03/05/2019 23:44

The presence of Hasidic Jews suggests Stamford Hill, but he could be catching a bus home from somewhere else.

LadyLaSnack · 03/05/2019 23:45

Stamford Hill? I think I've gone past that yellow awning on the bus to Clapton.

howmanyleftfeet · 03/05/2019 23:45

It's not WETTA.

It's a very budget supermarket. I think it closed a couple of years ago.

I'm not going to say the name as I just googled it and it gave me the location! (With a shop with a different name).

God I need to get my eyes tested. 😂

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 03/05/2019 23:46

I think the clue is the red phone box Grin

No idea though .

M4J4 · 03/05/2019 23:47

Is it an ASDA now? ☺️

Tunt · 03/05/2019 23:47

Frummer and Netto..... Stamford Hil!

MemorialBeach · 03/05/2019 23:47

Netto still exists??! Many moons ago in my student days I found a cockroach in a yoghurt I bought there. I defected back to Somerfield after that.

howmanyleftfeet · 03/05/2019 23:48

Cross posts!

Yes, it's Stamford Hill. The Hassidic guy was the massive clue (and it's obviously not Golder's Green - no Nettos in Golders Green!)

Well done HarryTheSteppenwolf and LadyLaSnack you're right, it's the bus stop with busses to Clapton.

GrandmaSharksDentures bonus point for Netto!

Gin and Cake all round!

Yes I know exactly where it is, looking down Upper Clapton Road just east of the junction with Stamford Hill.

Bloodybridget · 03/05/2019 23:48

Ha, too slow!

bruffin · 03/05/2019 23:49

Definitely Stamford Hill,

bettytaghetti · 03/05/2019 23:49

Is this it? The Netto is now an Asda. PP is right that it's Stamford Hill.

Anyone else got one? Google Street view could be good for this...

(I'm off to get a real Gin, back in a minute....)

I was also thinking Stamford Hill because of the yellow building, but that yellow building is also suggesting Golders Green where the cinema used to be. Although I'm not sure there were houses opposite.

Could also be Stoke Newington of course but that's going more by the people in the picture rather than the area as I don't know it very well.

So yeah, I'd probably plump for Stamford Hill.

HarryTheSteppenwolf · 03/05/2019 23:55

I used to live just down the road in Stoke Newington (28-29 years ago). Did my shopping at Safeway, Stamford Hill.

pigsDOfly · 03/05/2019 23:57

Oh, I'm too late, you've already got the answer. I didn't see that before I typed my response, honestly.

howmanyleftfeet · 04/05/2019 00:00

I used to live just down the road. Spent many a night out in Stoke Newington!

Oh, thank you. My exh's family were from Stamford Hill so I spent quite a bit of time there. It's years since I've been there though. Obviously an old photo.
