Crowded Day, The

Oxford Street, London W1. Bourne and Hollingsworth on the corner with Berners Street, closed in 1983.

Taken through a dusty back window from the top of the 73 bus in an attempt to gain some matching height. SJ

Bunting & Hobbs is fictional even though the store's name seen above was real. This is Bonham Carter House to house key workers in the West End.

Peter found a few more plaques around the entrance, but no cat.

This is John Gregson (putting in some practice before 'Genevieve') on Gower Street, WC1.

Very little difference in same place today. Picture from Peter.

And another shot looking south.

Peter found a few more trees on Gower Street now.

Gregson comes to a halt and suddenly it looks like a studio.

Rice and Griffin step out on Oxford Street.

This should be the right spot given the continuity with the next shot. SJ

This is looking east across Berners Street, W1.

The same street now by Peter.

Griffin in the suburbs.

SJ thinks a bit of rebuilding has been going on if Griffin is looking at the next shot. Patrick Browne believes he remembers the original house burning down, witnessing his first real fire and now wishes he had taken his camera, so do we Patrick. (RL)

Pregnant, she visits the father's mother. But now hardly the suburbs.

Melbury Road, W14. SJ

Tower House, 29 Melbury Road, W14. Not too far from where Peeping Tom was filmed.

Tilting up. Slightly off angle as the tree's in the way. SJ

It didn't go well. Jimmy Page has lived here since 1972 and his next door neighbour in Woodland House was Michael Winner and now belongs to Robbie Williams.

Now, the house to the left has been demolished. SJ

Gregson pops up again in his vintage car. Patrick Brown identifies this as Ilchester Place, London W14 Clive Rideout points to the house opposite as No 20 which places "Gregson's" house as No 21. The street also features in 'Climb Up the Wall', 'The Door in the Wall', 'Naked', 'The Big Sleep', 'Albert Carter Q.O.S.O.'. (RL)

Yes, this was taken looking south outside no21. SJ

Reverse pov. With Patrick Brown's identification of Ilchester Place, London W14 Clive Rideout places Gregson outside No 21. (RL)

The drainpipe and the length between door and windows clinched this. SJ

A foggy street perhaps opposite a park as Gregson swaps his car to become more marriageable. Patrick Brown remembers this "used car lot" and them selling pre-war taxis.......Russell Road, London W14 taken from Kensington High Street. Notwithstanding the sign the architecture of the first house on the right matches. (RL)

Despite the tail-end of Hurricane Gonzalo Patrick braved the elements in support of Reelstreets to revisit "memory lane" and take the shot. (RL)

Griffin wanders a seedy street, perhaps no longer there.

She is chased by a chancer.

This connects from (what's now) underneath Westway to Westbourne Park Villas. SJ

Running to the passageway between Westbourne Park Villas and Westbourne Park Road, W2.

This was also seen in 'Children of the Damned' and 'Seven Days to Noon'. SJ

Running down the passageway, still being chased.

Now. SJ

Approaching St. Stephen's church.

The south end of Westbourne Park Passage. SJ

And I believe this is the real interior.

Yes it is. SJ
