Can you help:
If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.
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.

Mulligan's hangout with her friends at St John's Parade, Churchfield Road nicely converted to the period, London W13. Antony Blair recognised the café with the red awning as the same one used as Sid's Café in television's 1982 series of 'Only Fool’s and Horses'.
Back to normal now. SJ

Hmm a crescent, possibly near Gloucester Gate. Mornington comes to mind, yes Mornington Crescent at Mornington Place NW1.
Now. SJ

This looks like the Ranelagh Bridge over the Thames at Richmond.
Richmond Lock and Weir would be more precise. East side of the Thames. SJ

Trees nearby the bridge from Ranelagh Drive, TW1, to help identify whether it's the east or west side.
East side, close to the footbridge which takes one over the stream running next to the Thames into Old Deer Park Recreation Ground, TW9. SJ

Walthamstow Dog Track, now closed, in London E4. The stadium was also used in 'There Is Another Sun' and 'I Vinti'.
Blown up (hence the fuzziness) from a shot for "It Was an Accident," also filmed here before it closed in 2008. The neon sign, Victoria Line's Las Vegas, has been restored after 8 years of decay but behind it are now new apartments at "Stadium Place." SJ
