Meanwhile, the back of the mansion boasts a jacuzzi, its own nightclub - which is also used as a cinema - and a 'dungeon' where he says adult films are made and which underwear brands use for modelling. A mural can even be found outside depicting him and his gangster "friends" as knights of the round table. The mural has fallen into disrepair, and Dave plans to have a new one put up in the theme of the Last Supper ( Facundo Arrizabalaga/MyLondon) Pictures and paintings of Dave can be found throughout the inside of the mansion too, including one of him with angel wings and a halo in the front room. He claims the painter filled half a pot of paint with Dave's blood so that "the skin is his DNA". The author of nine books, who calls himself Dave Courtney OBE - One Big Ego - add){kind=link}
Dave Courtney – who claims to have links to the notorious Kray twins – is the proud owner of Camelot Castle, which boasts an outside mural, jacuzzi, its own nightclub and even a ‘dungeon’
A reformed gangster has provided a glimpse into his incredible ‘castle’ in a corner of South East London.
Dave Courtney, who claims to have links to the notorious Kray twins and to be the inspiration behind Vinnie Jones’ character in the cult movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, is the proud owner of Camelot Castle.
The 63-year-old showed MyLondon around the sprawling white mansion, which features guns, swords, suits of armour – all said to be fake – pictures of the late Queen and a bust of his own head.
Once a former school, the home stands apart from the residential street where it is located. It is decorated with gold lion paintings and Union Jacks, as well as a sniper statue and a replica of King Arthur’s Sword in the Stone.
