Long Good Friday, The

Paddington station, London W2. The terminus can be seen in many films including ‘The Mind Benders’, ‘The White Bus’, ‘Death Was a Passenger’, ‘The Bank Job’, 'West 11', 'Return to Yesterday', 'Joanna', ‘The Tenth Man’, ‘Last Night in Soho’ and ‘The Gold Express’.

The same location now with thanks to Network Rail staff at Paddington station.

Benson's coffin is taken from the station. The Carriage Road at Paddington station.

Redesign of the station has since been carried out. (PW)

Wigmore Street, W1 opposite Marylebone Lane. The restaurant also appears in 'I Like Birds'.

The same location now.

Jeff (Derek Thompson) and Harris (Bryan Marshall) meet up at The Boulevard on Wigmore Street.

The location is still a restaurant albeit with a different name.

Wigmore Street outside The Boulevard.

From a similar viewpoint.

Razors (P.H. Moriarty) gets into his car on Marylebone Lane W1. The corner also features in 'Incident at Midnight'.

Almost opposite The Boulevard on Wigmore Street.

The Ivory House, St Katharine Docks, London E1. The docks also feature in many other productions including 'The Creeping Flesh', 'David Copperfield (1969)', 'Attack on the Iron Coast', 'Man of Violence', 'Circus of Fear' and 'The Trygon Factor'.

The same location from ground level.

Harold Shand's yacht moored in St. Katharine Docks. This mooring is on the Thames near what was the British and Foreign Wharf off St. Katherine's Way, which is confirmed by Ken Owen. Nigel Palmer adds that the telephoto lens crops in the original pedestrian walk-way to the pier of the Royal Naval Reserve crossing the bottom of the capture, now revamped and still in use for river traffic.

The bridge on St Katharine's Way, E1 at the entrance to St. Katharine Docks. The previous swing bridge features in 'To Sir With Love', 'Soho Incident' and 'The Stable Door'.

Same bridge, new buildings in the background.

St. George in the East church on Cannon Street Road E1 at the corner of The Highway. As a ruin following the Second World War, the church can be seen in 'The Heart Within'.

The same steps now.

Catherine Place, London SW1 around the corner from the Casino in the next capture.

I even counted the railings to get an accurate shot.

Shand's Casino is located on Catherine Place off Palace Street, London SW1.

No chips here now.

Following his research, Alec Edge can confirm that the Jaguar is being driven down the central roadway between the Albert and King George V docks in E16, now the runway at London City Airport.

The Lion & Unicorn pub was a set built for the film on Wapping High Street E1 opposite the end of Scandrett Street. The street appears in 'Escape Route' and the building on the extreme left is the former school seen in 'Scrooge (1951)'.

From a similar angle. Taken in Scandrett Street which runs on from Tench Street which was seen in 'The Alf Garnett Saga'.

Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins), Razors and Jeff on Villa Road, Brixton SW9 opposite Max Roach Park.

This is outside no33. The trees disappeared only recently from this famous 70s squat. SJ

Harold meets Billy at The Governor General public house. Vinny O'loughlin found the public house to be "The Governor General" that was on the corner of Verdant Lane and Whitefoot Lane, Catford SE6.

Vinny says that as Razors throws Billy against the wall there is a poster listing forthcoming events, where the pub's previous name, "The Northover" can be seen. He supports with this picture from Basil Oliver's 1947 book The Renaissance of the English Public House, published by Faber. The pub was demolished in the 1990s and is now a petrol station. I have found an enjoyable read, a forum covering “rough pubs/bars” http://www.cpfc.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-33740.html back in 2003 where two writers remember “The Northover” and the bar being used in the film.

Sherry arrives on Councillor Harris's demolition site to find the Portakabin office locked and deserted. Looking onto Westferry Road E14 with Burrell's Wharf across the road.

The gates and buildings of Burrell's Wharf now.

Released from the office, Harris's dog barks up at the upper storey of an empty warehouse . Wapping High Street E1 with gap left by the demolished Orient Wharf to the right.

Alec Edge adds replicates the scene, without the dog.

Running after the dog, Sherry (Gillian Taylforth) appears outside the warehouse before entering. Wapping High Street E1, almost opposite Dundee Street with the wall of the Wapping river police boatyard in the left background.

The same corner by Alec Edge.

Alan pulls up outside the warehouse in time to hear Sherry scream. St. Johns Wharf on Wapping High Street with the corner of Dundee Street to the top right.

I couldn't get quite high enough but this is the same corner from ground level.

Alec Edge adds to the sequence with this capture of Victoria being driven back to the yacht. The North Quay of West India Dock in E14.

Easily recognised as the same place in Alec's comparison.

The camera sweeps right to follow the Jaguar past the water of West India Dock.

A rather different scene comes into view as Alec pans right.

The southern quays of the West India Dock are brought into frame with the original Canary Wharf crossing the background.

Alec returned to the location, facing what is now called Fisherman's Walk.

Razors holds Victoria (Helen Mirren) back as she and Harold argue. Tony Steer identifies the background as the North Quay, now part of the Canary Wharf redevelopment in E14.

Tony also provides this shot of the redeveloped dock.

Harringay Stadium in N4 was a greyhound racing and speedway venue until closing in 1987. Stock car and banger racing did take place there until 1979. The site is now occupied by Sainsbury's.

And here is the the same location now. Peter advises that the shot is "Difficult to match and assumes the totaliser stood in the north-east corner of the stadium as research shows. This is taken from what I think was Harringay Slopes".

The Shands pull up outside The Savoy Grill on The Strand, London WC2.

The same location now.
