GANGLAND figure Dave Courtney, who has died aged 64, lived in a sprawling house dubbed "Camelot Castle".
With turrets, a rifle-wielding cowboy mannequin and a mural depicting Dave as a knight on a horse - the former school is quite the statement.
But that is just the outside of the white end-of-terrace, which is also adorned with golden lions, Union Jacks and once had a Knight's Templar-style gangster mural.
Inside the £650,000 property, in Plumstead, South East London, a grotto of film set weapons, boys' toys and even a "dungeon" await.
In Dave's front room hung a painting of the late reformed criminal with a halo and angel wings.

The paint used contains Dave's DNA, as he asked the painter to fill half a pot of paint with his own blood.
The next room has a pool table in the centre, and photos of Dave and his family.
Fake weapons adorning the walls belong to Dave's former housemate and best pal Brendan, who owns a film company.
The dining room is home to shelves full of books, as well as a range of old medals, military helmets, boxing gloves, and a bust of Beethoven.
The kitchen is perhaps the least decorated room in the house, with modest fittings and appliances.
But the surprises in the sprawling mansion don't stop there.
Outside is a small nightclub, which doubles as a cinema.
A jacuzzi also features.
You then get to the "dungeon" where Dave once claimed adult films were made and underwear brands used for modelling.
He previously said: "If I was to die tomorrow I would die smiling.

"I’ve got beautiful friends. Had far too many beautiful ladies in my life."
On Sunday, his family confirmed Dave had died, saying he "took his own life".
They said in a statement: "It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Courtney at the age of 64.
"Dave tragically took his own life in the early hours of Sunday 22nd October, with a firearm at his Camelot Castle home in Plumstead."
The Sun understands the tragedy happened at around 4am on Sunday.
Cops were called to Camelot Castle at around 11am but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A lodger is understood to have discovered the 64-year-old former TV actor and showman.
One pal said: “They stayed up until 4am drinking and went to bed. At around 11am his lodger and friend Brendan went to look in Dave’s bedroom because it was very quiet.
“He found Dave dead.
“The first impression was that he had taken his own life. But the police have to be certain and are investigating.’"
His death is not being probed by the Met’s homicide command, they do not believe it is suspicious.
