Eight O'Clock Walk

One of the screenshots for this film clearly shows "Holtham Rd". This was in St John's Wood, just east of Kilburn High Road station. It no longer exists, having been covered by the Abbey Road Estate development. It can be seen in the 1898-99 map on the following web page:

The nearest street is Bolton Street to the south. No photos I'm afraid, though I'm sure some of the streets featured must remain.

I too was looking at these photos. Three or four are obviously of Holtham Road, with the pub on the corner. The curved street is Bolton Road as the same pub can be seen. None of this survives as you said, it's all under the Abbey Road estate. The main road looks like it might be Abbey Road, but it's difficult to say - again much has been rebuilt.
