Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Stath Lets Flats - new C4 series based in Harringay?
Does anyone know anything about this new C4 series? In one bit of the Guardian it mentions it being set around Green Lanes (accompanied by a very Ladder looking photo), but this longer article doesn't place it anywhere in particular. Starts on Wed at 10pm, C4 if yoiu're interested. Does anyone remember it being filmed?
"Stath Lets Flats centres on Demetriou’s incompetent lettings agent and his colleagues at family firm Michael & Eagle. A wannabe wideboy, Stath is kitted out like a member of Blazin’ Squad at a wedding – slim-fitting suit, oversized diamante earring – while angling to take over from his soon-to-retire father."

I recall that Ladder-looking photo which I think has since been swapped for the regular cast photo set in their office, can't find the street shot again. The external shots in episode 1 don't look like Green Lanes but somewhere further out where there's a forecourt/pavement wide enough to park cars on - perhaps Burnt Oak or Enfield?
The Guardian review refers to "Haringay thoroughfare Green Lanes" in the course of making it out to be a Cypriot King Lear with laughs. Hmm. Review here https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/jun/27/stath-lets-fla....

The address on the shopfront is "124 Beckwold Rd, EN1 9HC". If that were a real postcode it would be a bit east of Enfield Town Overground station.
So Stath's dad like so many Cypriots of his generation has moved up in the world, moved on and moved further north on Green Lanes and ended up in Enfield. A reasonable fit then.

But comes back down to Lausanne Rd every Sunday for church in his Mercedes.

Not great rather cheap digs and stereotypes,perhaps appealing to younger viewers.However the issues of renting property in the capital deserve more exposure whether through comedy or serious discussion.
