We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions.

Roland-Francois Lack recognised Charlotte Street W1 looking north, just before the junction with Goodge Street.

A lot busier-looking now. SJ

RF advises that, through the car's window, can be seen the Akropolis restaurant at 34 Charlotte Street.

34 Charlotte Street has been the Michelin-starred French restaurant Pied à Terre since 1991. SJ

58 Lincoln's Inn Fields WC2 recognised by Roland-Francois Lack.

And again, 58 Lincoln's Inn Fields identified by Roland-Francois.

Now. SJ

Roland-Francois Lack provides this additional screen capture of Chas's flat. It's Latymer Court on Hammersmith Road W6,

RF also provides this modern view of the location. Image copyright.

A mews, off Wigmore Street or is this the Queens Gate Mews, SW7?

Queen's Gate Mews looking east. The car show room at the end has finally closed. SJ.

Another mews, this time with houses both sides.

Possibly 76 Queen's Gate Mews looking west now. SJ.

Crossing the mews. SJ.

Now. SJ.

Now. SJ.

No longer yellow nor a garage. SJ.

Now. 41 Queen's Gate Mews. SJ.

469 Fulham Road, London SW6, our Simon found this one, years ago.

Now a barber's. SJ.

The view from the doorway now looking at the Chelsea Stamford Bridge complex. SJ.

Tony Reeves advises that this is 115/6 Mount Street in Mayfair W1 which is confirmed by Simon Champion who adds that "the block stands on the corner of Mount Street Mews and in the 1960s was the home of Robert "Groovy Bob" Fraser, the Art Gallery owner and all-round hipster pal of the Rolling Stones, Christopher Gibb et al." The location is seen briefly in 'Cassandra's Dream'.

Pity about all the renovation though. SJ.

Wandsworth, SW18.SJ.

OK this takes a little swallowing but this is Bramford Road, SW18, before it was pedestrianised as the Wandsworth Gyratory took over traffic arrangements. SJ.

Wandsworth Town says the sign, and York Road, SW18 should be the address, SJ.

Wandsworth Town Station, now modernised but still recognisable. SJ.

Now. From north side of York Road, looking south. SJ.

No actor, nice car, average Victorian street. Wandsworth, Battersea?

The intersection of Podmore Road and Bramford Road, SW18, in the same area. Podmore Road now comes to an abrupt halt at this junction. SJ.

A caff, overlooking the railway. Kensington Olympia Station Buffet, says super sleuth Simon James. Graham Goldwater confirms that it is indeed Kensington Olympia Station and the road visible through the windows is Russell Road W14 as he used to live there.

A new row of houses has been built between the station and these houses on Russell Road W14, but this would be roughly the view out of the cafe's window. SJ

Ditto. SJ.

Same tree. SJ.

Now. SJ.

The same square, and nearby or just around the corner in Colby Terrace near Ledbury Road. Simon's book has lots of details and thousands of locations.
