Yes we have all had the dream of kipping at Dels flat with a few mates and a few cans. Sharing laughs with Del and Rodney while listening to Trigger in one ear and Boycie in the other. But now 30 years on its all coming together as part of the Only Fools and Horses 30th anniversary.
Designers admit it was a real struggle finding the palm tree wall paper, but doesn’t it look wonderful!
Does Del know about this?
So can you name the 4 items that were consistently seen in every episode of Del boys flat?
- The yellow Curtains
- Cigar Jar Holder
- The Banjo on the wall
- and the Green kitchen units
The Nelson Mandela flat layout has often been debated –
Here is the accepted view, with most rooms off the lounge
Del Boys flat layout – very pukka for £18 a night
£18 a night to stay in Del’s flat. Cushty – No income tax, no VAT, no
money back… but three TVs
Perry has have been recently involved in Del Boy’s iconic pad, lovingly recreated by TV channel Gold to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary next month. Fans are even being given the chance to stay there.
Prices are set at 1981 levels of £18 a night and when I was asked to head off to the Peckham tower block to give it a go, what could I say but: “Lovely jubbly!”

Hi there OFAH fans :) I will be visiting London soon and I hope that someone here could tell me if this flat is open for public visits throughout the whole year? And please I would be very grateful is anyone could direct me to the places associated with the show that are worth seeing and in London, because from all I could tell from the Internet, most of the scenes actually took place in Bristol :(
Early episodes took place in London
Only later series were in Bristol
I’ve eaten in the Indian seen in Chain Gang on the Kind Road

am a life long fan n would love to stay in flat xx
Hay there…I’m from Slovenia ( former Yugoslavia ) and I wish just to tell you that OFAH during the 80’s had an outstanding success in my country…I have all the dvd’s and my abdominals still hurts because of laughing everytime I watch them…and I watch them every day…at list one episode… Lovely jubbly to everybody…hehehehehe…plonkers….
I find it quite funny how Del’s recreated flat is non-smoking
That’s so awesome! Lol.
I’d love to stay in the flat but im only 14 and a giant fan of it ever since i started to watch it with my grandad.
I have tonnes of memrobillia from del boy teapot to the reliant regal radio and to the pinapple ice bucket i just love it
Did the person that recreated this set ever actually watch the series ??? because Even the Del Boy caracture could create something that had more similarities to the flat than this even if he was wearing a blind fold £18.00 a night … What for … Staying in a shed that has old clutter in it and is a genuine as a nine bob (coin) wont even say a note Talk about Fools Gold like the channel its a rip off and rubbish … Would say “must try harder” but i think “Must try a little” would be more fitting
so can we just go and have a look at the flat, its actually in a block at the end of my street :-), me and my sons are BIG Fans and would love to see it, thanks x
how can we book the £18 a night trotters flat please ???
