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. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

That's what we like. A nice sign. This one says Chesterfield Street, London W1.

Virtually unchanged except the block to the right of the lamppost. SJ.

Possibly no. 21 because an interior shot shows that in the door above the window but definitely Charles Street

It is 21 Charles Street, being done up in 2010, and it needs it. SJ

St Pancras, London NW1. The station appears in many other productions including ‘Smashing Time’, ‘The Servant’, ‘The Ladykillers’, ‘Shirley Valentine’, ‘The Fourth Protocol’, ‘McVicar’, ‘The Comedy Man’, ‘Mona Lisa’, ‘A Cry from the Streets’, ‘The Painted Smile’, ‘Voyage of the Damned’, ‘Nuns on the Run’ and ‘Wings of Mystery’.

Now, after the refit, so shinier. SJ

Peter Finch's taxi arrives at St Pancras.

And panning right. Standing in the wrong place as I'm doing it from memory. Nasty looking bollards. SJ

Parsons drives Finch back home.

The garage has gone and iron fencing is up, or rather replaced, after so much was needed for the WWII effort. SJ
