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.

A Homeless Guy (Craig Fackrell) lights a cigarette as Kate (Franka Potente) withdraws money from a cash machine.

Peter found the location outside the HSBC Bank on Piccadilly in London W1.

Kate crosses the road to enter Charing Cross Underground station.

The Stratton Street entrance to Green Park Underground station, renamed for the film. The location off Piccadilly was identified and captured by Peter.

Whilst having difficulty with a ticket machine, Kate and a Woman (Elizabeth McKechnie) look across at homeless Mandy who is illegally selling a travelcard.

This is the Northern Line booking hall of Charing Cross Underground station off Strand in WC2. (PW)

Kate makes her way to the platform and waits for the last train. The now disused northbound platform at Charing Cross station.

Taken from memory and too far along the platform. (PW)

After waking up from a short sleep, the young woman realises that she has missed the last train. The station was seen in 'London Has Fallen', 'Three and Out', 'The Fourth Protocol', '28 Weeks Later', 'The Escapist' and 'Skyfall'.

The same location in 2015. With thanks to Les Williams of London Underground and the staff at Charing Cross. (PW)

Kate makes her way back to the booking hall but finds the exit gates closed and locked.

As she runs through the deserted station, Kate finds Jimmy and Mandy. The corridor running between the former Trafalgar Square station and the top of the Jubilee Line escalators at Charing Cross.

The same, almost unchanged, spot. With acknowledgements to London Underground and Les Williams for arranging access. (PW)

Kate and Jimmy (Paul Rattray) make their way back to the platforms.

This is the escalator shaft at the Bakerloo Line end of the Jubilee Line concourse. Again, with thanks to Les and the staff at Charing Cross. (PW)

When Mandy goes missing, Jimmy goes in search of her. The stairs leading down to Platform 1 at Aldwych Underground station. The station stands near the corner of Strand and Surrey Street and was closed in 1994.

Jimmy follows a trail of blood into the tunnel. The disused platform at Aldwych, also seen in 'V for Vendetta', 'Gideon's Day', 'The Bed Sitting Room', 'Postman's Knock', 'Gumshoe', 'Death Line', 'The Krays', 'The Battle of Britain' and 'Tube Tales'.

The same tunnel mouth ten years on. Only the advertisements look older, posted for 2014's war themed visits. (PW)

Kate follows Jimmy as he enters the tunnel. Aldwych station in London WC2.

The same platform. (PW)

  • 'Now' required

When Kate and George find a way out of Craig's prison, the two make their way through Down Street station. This is actually Platform 2 at Aldwych station, unused since 1917.

After finally escaping from Craig's underground lair, Kate makes her way back to the platform at Charing Cross station.

The northbound platform now. (PW)

Kate slumps on the platform as early morning commuters start to gather to catch their trains.
