Withnail & I

Possibly in North London, where the action commences. Nice railings ... methinks these are the railings of London Zoo: that's a wolf. SJ

Right railings, wrong angle with the increased vegetation. This is on the east side of the zoo. SJ

Possibly the same park, nice benches. And is that a monument or statue in the distance? ... Yes, click the date for the location.

Opposite the now-ex wolf cages. That's the Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney fountain on Broad Walk in Regent's Park. SJ

Was at 41 Tavistock Crescent, St Mark’s Grove, W11, facing St Luke’s Road, in front of the Westway and W10's famous Trellick Tower. Information from movie-locations.com. As Tony Rice reminds us, it was the original Frog and Firkin in the early 80s but later went through many name changes, viz Crescent House, Babushka and even took on its movie appearance name in a bold effort to survive. The pub had reverted to its original name, The Tavistock, at the time of closing. (SJ)

Too late, except to illustrate the extraordinary ignorance or nonchalance of this building firm, with complete disregard for anything quirky, individual or interesting in search of a quick buck. SJ

The Tavistock Arms on Tavistock Crescent, which also features in 'Seventy Deadly Pills' while the railway bridge can be seen in 'Duffer', 'Col cuore in gola', 'The Spaniard's Curse', 'La Coda Dello Scorpione' and 'Violent Moment'.

Teresa Stokes parked her bike to provide us with a shot of the 'quick buck' residences. Since 'Withnail & I' the steep steps have been changed to a gentle slope to make it cycle-friendly. (RL)

A pretty street... indeed and this is, in the film, the approach to Monty's pad,.

But this does not seem a felicitous match: there is a cut before 'Withnail & I' arrive at the front door, seen below, so we're open to suggestions. SJ

Monty's London pad, all very dark. Griffiths welcomes his dear nephew Grant and, he hopes, a dear friend-to-be McGann.

A change of door and knocker now. West House, 35 Glebe Place SW3. SJ

Bit of tatty North London?

Tatty West London, Bard Road W10. (31/5/11). But I may be wrong about this as imdb cites Ansleigh Place, W11 not too far away. There is a clever cut between this still and the next which had me fooled. SJ

No actors in view but the bridge may give a clue to the last pic.

Yes, it was a big clue and we've seen this Latimer Road bridge before. The road is now known as Freston Road. SJ

"Scrubbers!" At first thought to be Kilburn Park Road near the corner of Rudolph Road in NW6. ... But in fact Richard Bennett has this as the south side of Granville Road, NW6, close by to the south-west. (SJ)

Teresa Stokes provided a supporting shot of what was advised back in 2020 but unfortunately it was the wrong place... Richard has improved the angle on his shot from 2024 with this one as near as one can manage and bang up to date taken the previous evening. "Unfortunately the entire estate is now fenced off with a high level of security. Not surprising as it had become a dystopian nightmare."

A school?

It may have been a school but it is now 'The Educational and Cultural Center I.R. Iran', 100 Carlton Vale, London NW6. Replacing Benjamin's Google from April 2019. SJ

Perhaps the famous cottage, sold a couple of years ago, amidst a blaze of publicity. ‘Crow Cragg’: Sleddale Hall, near Penrith, Cumbria.

Probably the same place as 10.

Taken in 2015 before renovation started and sent in by Paul Griffiths. (SJ)

A lane, perhaps in Cumbria, near the cottage? Well, Neil Rigby found that the website 'British Film Locations' has identified this as Tailbert, Keld, Cumbria. (RL)

Sleddale Hall, Crow Cragg, Penrith, Cumbria.

Sledd'l 'all, as they seem to say, locally.

Same place, same rain, different viewpoint.

Again. Still raining!

Not raining but an overcast day. Paul G again (SJ)

Another view.

And another from Paul (SJ).

A phone box, quite probably placed for the film.

For once it would appear not... "The phonebox is still there. Address CA10 2RQ, the village of Bampton on the road out to Butterwick." Great find from Neil Rigby and Google.

Another lane near the phone box from 010.

Justin (see his site movielocationhunter.co.uk for loads more) has sent this in. (SJ)

Pretty bridge ... over the river Lowther (SJ)

Also from Justin. Bang on.

The cottage, again.

Justin again. (SJ)

Stony Stratford in Buckinghamshire according to Tony Reeves which is confirmed by Adrian Wild who adds that this is the Market Square.

Replacing Adrian's Google image, Antony Blair took this original view from ground level.

Stony Stratford, The ‘Penrith Tea Room ’in the background. Cox and Robinson, Chemist, Market Place. Tony Reeves.

Actually it's a hairdresser's on Silver Street. This is looking south-west from Market Square. The "tea room" chemist is behind me. SJ

The ‘King Henry’ pub: The Crown, Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire. movie-locations.com

The Crown, Stony Stratford. SJ

Probably Stony Stratford, Bucks. Jez Firth tells us they have stills in the pub.

A lot more street furniture now. SJ

"Balls. We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!"

Interestingly we never see the exterior of the chemist/tea room but this is it on the north side of Market Place, Stony Stratford. SJ

Grant decides to do some driving back home while McGann snoozes. A famous shot depicting the M25 (opened in the 80s) despite this being set in late 1969. Some Cumbrian interiors were apparently filmed at Stocker's Farm, Rickmansworth so this was close by.

A flyover: click the date to see which one.

Westway from Warwick Avenue : just to the west of John Aird Court, also seen in Entertaining Mr Sloane. SJ

....and again.

and closer in. SJ

And here are four additional stills provided by Justin. Out of sequence but this much loved classic is perhaps due for a reboot.

Justin at the very gate. (SJ)

A very evocative image.

Recreated by Justin with aplomb.

The telephone box from before, imagined in the past to be a prop.

Let's hope it stays there. Justin (SJ)

The last of Justin's additions: another one of the gate seen in capture 30.

A reverse pov as it was such a picturesque opportunity! (SJ)

Teresa provides this capture, uncertain whether it occurs in the film or not, but it certainly featured in publicity material. 55 Chepstow Place, Bayswater, London W2. Having now watched the film again after many years, Teresa confirms that it does not appear in the film. (RL) ... And Louis Moruzzi confirms that the squalid interior of the flat was filmed next door at no. 57's first floor, so this publicity shot was taken during a filming break out of the way of the filming crew. (SJ)

The steps of no. 55 just a bit north of the corner with Dawson Place. SJ
