Ranjit Sandhu advises that Alan Sekers, the uncredited assistant director on the production, informed him that the interiors of Prescott’s home were shot at Bob Monkhouse’s house and that Prescott’s office was filmed in the flat then rented by Janet Street-Porter and her husband Tim. Simon Matthews told Ranjit that another of the interior locations during the Piccadilly Circus sequence was a tailors shop called Granny Takes a Trip at 488 Kings Road in Chelsea. More information about the film can be found on Ranjit’s page here.

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.

Whilst searching for Jane, Bernard sees a blonde woman's body floating in the river. Facing north on Albert Bridge. The bridge was strengthened in 1972, rewired in 1992 and refurbished and strengthened again between 2010 and 2011 which accounts for the differences from when filming took place.
And hard to align without a fancier camera. SJ

After finding Leris shot in the head, the two flee from the gallery and head for an amusement arcade where Jelly-Roll and his associates give chase, believing Bernard to be Prescott's killer. It looks as though the letters make up the word "Playland". Christopher Matheson places this as the Playland Amusement Arcade located on the east side of Great Windmill Street, London W1 following the demolition of St Peter's Church. The background buildings are still visible, from the air at least! (RL)

Bernard tells the cab driver to stop and the pair make a dash to a nearby Underground station.

More specifically, they now add that the action is taking place at the corner of Euston Road and Bolsover Street. The doorway on the extreme right, next to the 'Greene Man' public house is still very much the same. (RL)
