A day after returning from a previous ‘ASOS’ sojourn, it was time for a mini-sojourn to a location much closer to home – Richmond Park.
Catching a bus to Kingston Hospital mid-afternoon, I changed onto a #85 for the five minute journey to the Ladderstile Gate to the park. From here it was a twenty-five minute walk to Pen Ponds, located more or less in the centre of the Park, which consists of two lakes, the Upper and the Lower Pond. It was here that the Romani Camp scenes in ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’ were filmed. Comparing screen captures, I managed to find the woodland where filming took place.
It was then a half-hour walk to the Richmond Gate, and a further twenty minutes to the Richmond Theatre, where my evening’s entertainment was ‘Ardal O’Hanlon: Not Himself’. I even managed to get a photo with the man himself (who appears as Mr. Halligan, Sherlock's butler and coach driver in ‘Sherlock & Daughter’ [2015]) at the stage door afterwards.
