Real Miracle of Peckham – Tourism is Up thanks to Only Fools

Lets face it Peckham is barely a tourist trap, but it seems according to locals its well on its way thanks to Only Fools and Horses. Fans of the top british sitcom are turning up in droves asking locals where the Fatty Thumb is, or where Slater can be found. Expecting to see the yellow 3 wheeled van any moment they venture to cross the peckham high street.

Of course most fans should know that Peckham was never used in the show at all. When the series was filmed in London in the early series Acton was home to Nelson Mandella house. More recent episodes saw the set move to Bristol.

Real Miracle of Peckham - Tourism Up

Real Miracle of Peckham Tourism Up

Even the Mirror reported this week that “Tourists are flocking to the tough London borough of Peckham – thanks to the on-screen antics of Del Boy and Rodders. One in 20 Britons have had a lovely-jubbly day out in the inner city area of TV’s Only Fools and Horses. ”

The article continued…”They don’t mind looking like plonkers by asking locals for directions to the fictional Nag’s Head or Nelson Mandela House, and research reveals 38% of TV viewers have visited a UK destination seen on a favourite programme.”

If you want a real guided tour then we have some great guides on these pages….

Why Bristol?
The main reason for choosing Bristol City is because all the market scenes in Only Fools have been filmed in their car park, the flats used as Nelson Mandela House are directly outside the stadium, there are lots of other famous locations in Bristol used in the show too including Del Boys garage all within walking distance of the Convention

Trotter Bus SOLD

bus for sale

The Bus has now been sold

Unfortunately due to the closing of the museum we can no long keep  run or store the Trotter Museum Bus, so we have reluctantly come to the decision that the time has come for us to try to find a new home for it.
The bus is stored up in the Norwich area so will need to be collected – she does run. Only the bus was sold – NOT the Trotter contents.

The 3 wheeled Vans

The original van as used in many episodes.  Did you know that in Danger UXD John Sullivan actually wanted to blow the van up, thankfully this didn’t happen.  This van can be seen at the Cars For The Stars Museum in Keswick along with many other famous screen vehicles.   Many thanks to Peter Nelson for sending the picture.

Here’s an original van in Birmingham in about 1991

Thanks to Brian Sturges for sending me the picture.

Perry’s Van.
This van was used on our famous Jolly Boy’s Outing for Channel Four but they decided to cut us out of the final show, thankfully.  Perry’s van can also be seen at your local video store rapped around the box set of the last three episodes.  This van has along the side Paris-New York-Romford.
My Van (Sorry Perry, Our Second Van)
Since getting this van October 97′, it has been in all my local newspapers, Yorkshire Television, The Daily Star and I’ve been interviewed on Talk Radio.  I use the van every day travelling 36 miles to and from work, it’s not let me down that often.  You may notice there is no roof rack on these pictures but it’s currently being hand made and will be added later.  This van has along the side Paris-New York-Skegness.
Steve and Jo’s van is the most recent addition to the Societies collection, it’s just in the process of being made more road worthy by mucking it up a bit.
Three of the Society’s vans parked outside the Nags Head in Brentwood, London.  This filming for the BBC include Boycie getting a lift in one of the vans and the result being shown on Steve Wright’s Auntie’s TV Favourites.
This is Paul Whitehead’s 1971 Reliant Regal Supervan 3.  The way del boy keeps it now that he`s a millionaire!
Here’s Lance Gahan’s van, which took him six months to find.

This guy has a really smart paint job on his van
