Hmm, I've never been happy with the identification and the site referenced is currently unavailable for checking. However this is the site of The Cross opposite Bagley's/Canvas, another fave rave spot from the mid 90s until closure for both in 2007. A new Cross opened in the old The Driver pub in 2022 further to the east in Wharfdale Road. SJ

Peter took this from a slightly different position due to new brickwork hiding much of the detail.

Shaun calls on his girlfriend Liz. Cunningham House on Hillcrest, Highgate N6.

Like Peter (see below) I found the whole estate covered in refurbishment but took a few shots and, less discerningly, loaded them anyway. SJ

Liz dumps Shaun after he forgot to book a table at Liz's favourite restaurant for their anniversary. Looking out onto Hillcrest off North Hill in Highgate.

Antony Blair found that number 37 has since had a garage conversion.

Next, Shaun and Ed collect Liz (Kate Ashfield) and they all head to The Winchester Tavern until the whole thing blows over. Cunningham House in Highgate N6.

Peter managed to take this comparison but found that the whole of Hillcrest Estate was being refurbished!

The reality is somewhat different as Shaun and Ed are faced with a young zombie as they leave their house and get into Pete's Renault Mégane. Facing north-eastward on Nelson Road.

Peter didn't see a zombie but had to do a bit of trimming to expose the street sign.

As Ed drives the two away, they see zombies chasing unaffected people from their homes.

In the back of an abandoned ambulance, a bodybag moves. Mount View Road in Stroud Green, Haringey.

Slightly off angle but this is Looking along Mount View Road in N8 with Womersley Road to the left. Picture from Peter.

A zombie is knocked down by Ed as they speed through the streets. Mount View Road, Stroud Green N4.

Peter noticed that the fencing still hasn't been repaired!

Phillip (Bill Nighy) and Barbara leave the house as Ed explains why they should take his mother's partner's Jaguar. Number 37 Abbots Gardens, confirmed by Antony Blair . . .

The bollard's been straightened. SJ

After everyone squeezes into the Jag, Ed races away.

When they at last reach the safety of the pub they find the street teeming with zombies. The Duke of Albany pub at the junction of Monson Road and Barlborough Street in New Cross Gate.

Excellent directions. (JT)

Zombies wander aimlessly outside The Winchester Tavern. In reality The Duke of Albany which was turned into flats in 2008.

The "then" photo appears to have a rounded front or side to the building. Perhaps it was sliced off. (JT)... Its "corner" with Barlborough Street was indeed sliced away sometime before 2008 to make room for a modest front garden. (SJ)

Dianne (Lucy Davis) persuades the group to act like zombies, which allows them to blend in and walk towards the pub. Monson Road in SE14.

Yes, No 26. (JT)

The friends approach The Winchester. The corner of Barlborough Street and Monson Road.

Shaun distracts the zombies as his friends barricade themselves inside The Winchester Tavern. Outside the The Duke of Albany public house at the corner of Monson Road and Barlborough Street in New Cross Gate SE14.
