Dir: Raine Allen-Miller
Starring: David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah

Two people reeling from bad breakups connect over an eventful day in South London

This modern-day romantic comedy is set largely in Peckham, and a handful of railway shots appear. The most notable scene features a London Overground Class 378 EMU but a second train can be made out passing behind a hedge in the scene where the main characters are sat on playground equipment. This was filmed in Warwick Gardens but the train it is too obscured to be included here. Unsurprisingly, the exterior of Peckham Rye station also features and as an interesting aside, an early scene takes place in the Coal Rooms, the station’s former ticket office and waiting room turned bar and restaurant.
