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.
- Capture 1

Snowshill, Gloucestshire, living up to its name.
Swap mist for snow. (RL)
- Capture 2
- 14 Apr 2022
Zellweger returns to the family home. Hall's Piece, Snowshill, Gloucestershire very close to Worcestershire, hence the confusion of some internet sites.
A shot of the Cotswold manor house sent in by Kevin Hedley. (SJ)
- Capture 3
- 31 Dec 2012
Zellweger stumbles out a taxi while Callis, Phillips and Henderson look on with a mixture of concern and amusement. Green Dragon Court SE1 sign on the wall.
Wrong angle but this shows Green Dragon Court before the changes. SJ
- Capture 4
- 31 Dec 2012
Zellweger at Piccadilly Circus.
Now. SJ
- Capture 5
- 11 Apr 2013
Crossing Tower Bridge.
The same location now from David Ahern.
- Capture 6
- 19 Feb 2016
Stoke Park House, Stoke Poges, Bucks., also seen in 'Goldfinger', 'Layer Caker' and 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. Grant and Zellweger mess around on the lake.
Quite tricky to pinpoint but in the end I settled for the bunker to the right of the house and for the trees by the lake to have been cut down. SJ
- Capture 7
- 31 Dec 2012
Zellweger at Grant's flat in Clink Street, SE1
Now. SJ
- Capture 8
- 27 Feb 2013
Grant greets her from above the main door.
The second level matches the brickwork. Horribly blurred, apologies. SJ
- Capture 9
- 11 Apr 2013
Zellweger at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London WC2.
Now by David Ahern.
- Capture 10
- 11 Apr 2013
Firth and Zellweger in BK news opposite the courts.
Another now from David Ahern.
- Capture 11
- 27 Feb 2013
Borough Market, SE1
Looking from Bedale Street to Park Street. SJ
- Capture 12
- 27 Feb 2013
Bedale Street as Zellweger makes her way to her flat above the Globe Tavern. The building with the sign of Green Dragon Court has now been replaced by a glass structure and a new railway line runs over Bedale Street.
At least some of it is preserved. SJ

- 31 Dec 2012
Firth and Grant slug it out in Bedale Street.
The location of the fight scene. SJ
- Capture 14
- 27 Feb 2013
Back to Snowshill.
Here's an extra as bridj0014 is similar to an earlier "then." This is attached to the Globe Tavern and if they'd read London Movie Guide they'd know their cellar hatch receives a starring role in Lassiter. SJ
- Capture 15
- 03 Jan 2017
Similar to 001 it maybe but here is a now, without snow, without people, without war memorial but with obligatory stationary cars. (RL)
- Capture 16
- 03 Jan 2017
And another of this pretty Cotswold village.
From ground level in the mist. (RL)
- Capture 17
- 'Now' required
A stately home. imdb suggests Wrotham Park but I'm not so sure... and Steve has sent in evidence to confirm Wormington Grange, Gloucestershire, solving this long mystery.
- Capture 18
- 27 Feb 2013
East end of Bedale Street. Zellweger chases after Firth.
No fake snow anymore. SJ
- Capture 19
- 06 Jul 2014
And suddenly we're at Cornhill, EC3, where Firth has bought a new diary.
The same location now by Peter.
- Capture 20
- 06 Jul 2014
Cornhill.
Peter found the same water fountain and notes that the city pump and post box are still there.
- Capture 21
- 21 Jan 2023
Zellweger doesn't seem to feel the cold.
This replaces my rather sloppy off-angle effort from 11 years ago. SJ
- Capture 22
- 07 Aug 2014
A dvd extra, cut from the beginning of the film. St. Pancras in the snow with Zellweger making her way home.
Peter captured the same location, without the snow.
- Capture 23
- 31 Dec 2012
Zellweger now, perhaps confusingly, at Liverpool Street Station, seen in Mission: Impossible among others. Another dvd extra shot.
Taken from the other side of the concourse. SJ
