Morning dawns over London.

Inside Roger Dearly's house, an alarm clock sounds waking up Pongo the Dalmatian. Numbers 46 and 48 Palace Gardens Terrace in London W8 recognised by Ross C.

Fashion house owner Cruella De Vil is driven to her city office. Minster Court on Mincing Lane in London EC3.

The same location from ground level by Peter.

Peter captured the same location without the car.

The car door is opened for Cruella. Facing north on Mincing Lane, London EC3.

Peter captured the same spot, nowadays complete with Gherkin!

Anita Campbell-Green (Joely Richardson) rides through Soho Square with her Dalmatian Perdy. London W1.

The fashion designer cycles through Leicester square.

A few changes since the square was remodelled in 2011/12 (RL)

Roger Dearly (Jeff Daniels) is pulled along after Pongo spots Perdy and starts to chase her. Swiss Court facing Wardour Street in W1.

At least Wardour Street remains the same. (RL)

The video game creator speeds out of control through Leicester Square. London W1.

More ornate gates since the redevelopment. (RL)

Anita and Perdy cross Trafalgar Square in London WC1.

No dogs today.(RL)

Pongo keeps Roger in tow as he races along the north side of Trafalgar Square.

The same spot now by Peter.

Anita and Perdy continue sedately on their way. Steve Randall identifies this as New Bond Street W1 with the blue flag of the Graff store at 6-8 New Bond Street on the extreme left and numbers 1-5 on the right, which was under refurbishment to become the home of Ralph Lauren.

Steve Randall's comparison shows the Ralph Lauren store dressed up for the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.

Burlington Gardens W1 with the Royal Academy of Arts to the right of centre background. The area was also seen in 'The Alphabet Murders'.

Same place, different taxi and no dogs! (PW)

Facing Bond Street on Burlington Gardens W1 with the entrance to Burlington Arcade on the left.

The same location now. (PW)

Shoppers stand clear as Pongo hauls Roger through a shopping arcade. The location also appears in 'The Best House in London', 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger', 'The File of the Golden Goose' and 'Patriot Games'.

The two emerge from the arcade.

Jermyn Street at the junction with Duke Street St James SW1.

Still lots of vehicles about. (PW)

After Pongo breaks free from the bike, Roger is left to descend into St James's Park. Looking at The Mall from beneath the Duke of York Memorial in SW1. The steps were also seen in 'The Sandwich Man', 'Hue and Cry', ’28 Days Later’, 'The Internecine Project' and 'The Passionate Friends'.

There is very little that could change.(RL)

Roger examines his buckled bike after hitting railings and being thrown into St James's Park Lake.

I am sure that they have moved the seat. (RL)

Pongo watches as Anita plays with Perdy. St James's Park with Buckingham Palace visible behind the trees.

Swap pigeons for dogs. (RL)

Following a mix up with the very similar looking dogs, Roger and Anita start to get along, and so do Pongo and Perdy.

The tree, the unmoving bench and bridge clinched it for me. SJ

Roger is smitten by Anita and rides away before Perdy pulls Anita after him.

The bandstand has been fenced off for quite a while now "due to anti-social behaviour", sadly. SJ

After a few frames of courtship, Roger and Anita marry. St. Luke's Church on Sydney Street, London SW3. Kim Hayes recalls her Basset Hound Sherlock and her St. Bernard, Bessie, playing their parts outside the church and remembers worrying that they would move during the shoot. Her full story can be read via the Header Section of this film.

Poor angle, to be improved. SJ

The camera tilts up bringing the church tower into view. St. Luke's Church on Sydney Street in Chelsea.

Again, not quite the right line and the sky's not blue. SJ

Cruella de Vil's henchmen, Horace and Jasper, arrive at the premises of Skinner, a taxidermist. Stoney Street in London SE1. The location can be seen in 'All Night Long', 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying' and 'All Night Long'.

So far, changes have been resisted. SJ

Jasper and Horace approach De Vil Mansion where they find that Cruella wants to make garments out of Dalmatian fur. SJ advises that this is 23 West Heath Road on the corner of Platt's Lane in NW3 and Tris adds that the property is named Sarum Chase. The building can also be seen in 'Strangler's Web' and 'A doppia faccia'.

The same location now. SJ

Tomkins the vet confirms that Perdy is pregnant as Anita receives similar news from Dr. Parker.

This replaces Chris Pain's Google from Nov 2014 identifying the location as Langton Street, London SW10. And yes I'm reflected in the window. SJ

After congratulations are received all round, Roger and Anita walk the dogs home.

Again replacing Chris' Google shot of Langton Street, London SW10 with the house metal railings clearly visible. Looking north-west. SJ

The happy couples arrive at the mews where they have set up home. Possibly a studio set but currently an unknown location.

Through falling snow, Nanny (Joan Plowright) walks to the Dearly's house where Perdy has given birth to 15 puppies.

Jasper and Horace watch as Roger and Anita head out for the evening. The sign says Gabriel Gate Mews SW7 just to mislead.

A Chelsea Pensioner (John Evans) holds his Bulldog back as Jasper (Hugh Laurie) and Horace (Mark Williams) return to their truck after stealing the puppies.

The two henchmen stopoff to call Cruella. The Stag & Huntsman public house in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire.

Little change in Hambleden. SJ

A terrier watches the truck as it's driven away. Hambleden. The village is seen in many productions including 'The Avengers', 'Dance with a Stranger', 'Mr. Quilp', 'Child's Play' and 'Another Country'.

Now. SJ

The two set off to deliver the puppies to De Vil Mansion and the dog begins to follow. Hambleden near Henley on Thames.

Antony Blair took this looking east from the village centre.

Roger follows Pongo and Perdy from the house as the two dogs run out.

Having been alerted by the barks of other dogs, the Dalmatians rush into the street.

Pongo and Perdy race to rescue their offspring.

Following the direction of dogs all over London, the two make their way into the countryside.

Skinner is summoned and leaves London for De Vil Mansion.

Dogs and other animals join forces to rescue the puppies from the hands of Skinner, Jasper and Horace.

The police are alerted and arrive at De Vil Mansion. This is Sarum Chase on West Heath Road in West Hampstead NW3. The property was also seen in 'The Body Beneath'.

An establishing shot of the village near De Vil Mansion. Possibly a matted shot of Hambleden as the village church has a tower not a spire.

After Cruella's plans are thwarted, Skinner, Jasper and Horace are arrested. Hambleden near Henley on Thames.

From a similar viewpoint by Antony Blair.

A police car stops as officers spot something on the horizon. The bridge over Hambleden Brook south of the village.

This matching shot from Antony shows the bridge on the road into the village.

Perdy, Pongo and 98 dalmatian puppies come into view. Likely to be a another matted shot as logic suggests that this is Hambleden.

The 100 dogs are loaded into a multitude of police cars. Hambleden, Buckinghamshire.

Antony Blair took this from street level.

One final puppy is led into the village by the terrier. The bridge over Hambleden Brook looking towards Skirmett Road.

Cruella is apprehended and the police leave the village. Facing away from the church's gateway in Hambleden.

The sun plays havoc with Antony Blair's comparison shot.

Looking towards Skirmett Road from Hambleden village in Buckinghamshire.

The same road leading out of Hambleden village captured by Antony Blair.

A convoy of police vehicles bring Pongo and Perdy home, along with the 99 Dalmatian puppies rescued from Cruella.

The Inspector (Michael Percival) explains that the other puppies will go to the dog pound and Roger smiles at Anita.

After making millions from his latest video game, Roger, Anita and the 101 Dalmatians move to the countryside.
