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.

Mulligan's school at The Japanese School, 87 Creffield Road, Ealing, London W3

Now. SJ

Mulligan's house at 45 Carbery Avenue, London W3

Not too far south from the school. Almost a perfect match save the wheels. SJ

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

Sarsgaard is parked by St John's Church, Ealing W13

Now. SJ

More set dressing on St John's Parade and Mattock Lane.

Now. SJ

Sarsgaard and Mulligan run for a concert in Lord North Street, London SW1. The street features in 'Mr. Turner' and . . .

. . . . the other end was seen in 'Atonement'. SJ

Cooper and Pike greet the pair at St John's Smith Square, SW1

Now: note the scars on the column. SJ

Gloucester Gate, London NW1

Glos Gate? Silly me, I meant Cumberland Terrace south. SJ

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

Now. SJ

The junction and the streets around are also seen in 'Street Corner', 'Night, After Night, After Night', 1991's 'Under Suspicion'. 'Brighton Rock (2010)', 'The Gentle Gunman' and 'The Weapon'.

Now. SJ

Back at Gloucester Gate, NW1

That is, Cumberland Terrace, NW1. SJ

All outside no 17.

Like that postbox. SJ

Gloucester Gate NW1, also seen in Another Time Another Place.

Cumberland Terrace again. I need to be nearer the lamppost. 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
