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.

Rather a grim sight on a rainy day. But the railings are protected by the hoarding so we await the completion of the former barracks' site. Also seen in The Jokers. SJ

A more revealing shot. A quick email to Tracey Earl, the archivist of Coutts & Co., elicited this response with our thanks, "The Coutts branch was closed in 2000 and the address was 1 Old Park Lane, now the site of the Hard Rock Café shop."

Nice couple of boxes added, possibly for the tourists. SJ
