Two a Penny

Richard joins Holloway in Christ Church Greyfriars, Newgate Street EC1 . . . .

. . . and this is Richard Lovejoy's (RL) photo in proof. The planting is much more ordered, even winning the City of London small park award in 2012.

Christ Church Greyfriars, just north of St Paul's.

Difficult to get that exact angle with a conventional camera lens. RL

Richard, centre of still, crosses Piccadilly Circus, W1.

From ground level. SJ

On the west side of Piccadilly Circus.

Lot more clutter. SJ

Jermyn Street, SW1.

Looking west. SJ

Richard calls up to Holloway in a mews.

Admission Free! But then maybe Billy Graham is not the Brits Awards. Earls Court Exhibition Centre, SW5, threatened, as writing in 2013, with demolition. The exterior is also seen in Virtual Sexuality and Confetti.

But still standing at the moment. SJ

The Drum is the sign out of shot at the top . . . found after several years by Graham Etchel "To the right is the Worlds End public House, full name The Worlds End Distillery, located at 459 Kings Road. The pedestrian crossing has now been moved a few yards west. Where the crossing ends on the opposite side of the road was the Kings Road boutique "Granny Takes a Trip" which became just as well known for its various shop front designs as it was for its celebrity clientele. To the right of the crossing opposite the pub was the Chelsea branch of the Royal British Legion." The pub also makes an appearance in 'What a Whopper', 'The Idol' and 'Food for a Blush'.

Comparison by Graham. (SJ)

Battersea Park, SW11.

About here. SJ

Close up of Holloway back at the bombed out Christ Church Greyfriars.

If only I had had a pretty foreground subject. RL

More bombed out churchyard, EC1.

But much tidier now. RL

Eye-catching street arrangement. Sussex Place on the Outer Circle near Regents Park, London, says Robbie Higgins.

A somewhat blander facade now, showing where no.20 Sussex Place, NW1, used to be. SJ

E. Richard's Locksmith. Robbie suggests, Hogarth Road at the junction with Hogarth Place SW5 looking towards Earls Court Road.

RICHARDS were at No13, all rather overwhelmed with advertising signs now! (RL)

Tilting down from the above . . . Hogarth Place looking towards Hogarth Road, a location that features in 'Straight On Till Morning', 'Georgy Girl', 'Laughter in the Dark', 'Sapphire' and 'Mr. Forbush and the Penguins'.

......and now. (RL)

Back at the mews.

Richard at Earl's Court to see Billy Graham.

I think this is the correct angle, as Cliff's inside the grounds, with Warwick Road behind him. The Exhibition Centre was razed during 2015. SJ

Graham addresses the crowd inside The Earl's Court Exhibition Centre, SW5.

A back street and notable lamp post. World's End Passage SW10 found by Alan F on the britmovie web site and reported by Robbie Higgins.

Peter took a shot of Ann's Lane, unchallenged since Sept '18, but he was on the wrong (north) side of Lacland House. As Graham E. explains, "Worlds End Passage (it used to be known locally simply as ‘the Alley) is still extant and runs on the other side (south side) of Lacland House. Lacland House can be seen on the left just beyond the tree. To the right of the wall was the back yards of the houses in Blantyre Street. The houses are all gone, but Blantyre Street still exists but looks somewhat different now with the houses replaced by the huge 1970’s development ‘Worlds End Estate’." (SJ)

Holloway runs to a church. Bit dark isn't it? Fortunately that is very recognisable as St John's, Hyde Park Crescent, W2. Also seen in 'Dangerous Parking', 'The Hangman Waits', 'Smart Alec', 'The Walking Stick', 'No My Darling Daughter' and 'Life with the Lyons'.

Taken from Southwick Place, W2. SJ

A closer shot of the above.

Taken from Hyde Park Crescent, W2. SJ

Sussex Place, near Regents Park, London, Robbie Higgins.

Now, depressingly. SJ

Richard hides behind a wall. Sussex Place again, claims Robbie.

Could this be the same wall? Roughly where 19 Sussex Place used to be placed. SJ

A dark church interior but not St John's.

End of the mews where Holloway lives.

Holloway is about to be propositioned in possibly Soho, W1. A double-fronted Home and Colonial Store, one of about 100 in its heyday. Christopher Matheson found the one in one hundred, it being 1 Dartrey Terrace, Dartrey Road, London SW10, here looking south along the west side with Raasay Street off to the left, extreme left. The current road layout is much changed. (RL)

"Dartrey Terrace originally consisted of one residential residence and three shops, one of which was the Home & Colonial which would have been approximately where the staircase (to the right of the bikes) currently stands." Info and comparison from Graham. (SJ)

A house. Sussex Place, Robbie says.

Back at the erstwhile 19 Sussex Place. SJ

Priest Barkworth and Holloway in a lighter church interior. Looks like the interior of St John's W2.

The pews have gone: in fact it looks distinctly spartan, but yes this is the interior. SJ

Richard and Holloway at the National Gallery, WC2

The wall on the right has been knocked through. SJ

A park scene.

A letter box. Robbie says; Sussex Place.

The letter box is alive and well. SJ

Same as twoap012 but another angle. Sussex Place, Robbie.

The lamppost's still wonky. SJ

Quite a doorway, no 20. Again.

Now. SJ

And another angle. One more time. This shows no. 21 Sussex Place as was.

Yes Robbie is correct. Sussex Place, NW1 now rebuilt as the London Business School. Also seen in Derby Day and Une Ravissante Idiote. SJ

Regent's Park? Outer Circle next to Regents Park, London. Robbie.

Now. SJ

Richard does a lot of running. Now back at Jermyn Street, SW1.

Looking east, filmed in the early morning. I was there in the afternoon. SJ

No 97 Jermyn Street at the corner of Duke of York Street, SW1.

At least the scaffolding is not too intrusive. SJ

Richard in front of St James's Church, SW1.

Turning around from 97 Jermyn Street. SJ

Richard and Holloway in another park. Dave W finds them in Battersea Park, here looking across Prince of Wales Drive, London SW11 to the residential block known as Primrose Mansions. (RL)

Hmm ... as often with trees, one needs a winter shot. SJ

As above. Indeed, but whilst Primrose Mansions has a number of similar entrances Dave carried out 'a tree assessment exercise' and suggests that the entrance on the right is that of 51-60 Primrose Mansions. (RL)

Peeping through the shrubbery on the right is the white frame of the entrance to flats 51-60. SJ

This reminds me of Battersea Park.

On the 25 bus route. John MC identifies this as Newgate Street, London looking towards Greyfrairs Churchyard, where postmen use to sit on the wall whilst waiting for the bus to go on their rounds. It just had to be, given the No 25 bus and the other shots from there. (RL)

Back at the church, also glimpsed in 'The Human Factor' (1979). Christ Church Greyfriars, Newgate Street in EC1.

Much the same as all those years ago. RL

Pulling back. Christ Church Greyfriars.

This shot will have to serve for 043 and 044: the East wall and presumably part of the South wall were demolished in 1962 to make way for a widening of King Edward Street. RL

Nice aerial shot.

As the previous comparison, until someone hires a helicopter.
