Party’s Over, The

Outside a beatnik party, Moise (Oliver Reed) climbs down a lamp post after jumping from a balcony. 66 Elm Park Gardens SW3.

Gone! But next door survives. Can't quite remember from where I received the help for this but I suspect, in the back of my memory banks, the mind of Alan F. SJ

The morning dawns and the bohemians make their way home to Chelsea. Albert Bridge crossing the Thames in London SW3.

Pity I could not achieve the same elevation. (RL)

Melina Morgan (Louise Sorel) and Philip (Jonathan Burn) lead the weary revelers. Facing southward on Albert Bridge, which also features in 'Only When I Larf', 'The Mutations', 'Touch and Go', 'The Bliss of Mrs Blossom', 'I Don't Want to Be Born', 'Absolute Beginners' and 'That Kind of Girl'.

A quiet moment on the bridge. (RL)

Tutzi (Maurice Browning) runs his hand along railings as the group split to go their separate ways. John Cobbett identifies this as Glebe Place SW3 looking towards the bend into Cheyne Place.

Absolutely correct John, but I could have done without the builders embellishments. (RL)

Geronimo (Mike Pratt) and Fran (Annette Robertson) help her boyfriend across the road. The junction of Glebe Place with Bramerton Street in Chelsea located by John Cobbett.

Pity about the enlarged greenery and, of course, scaffolding! (RL)

Nina (Katherine Woodville) and the others near the pad where they each have rooms. King's Road, London SW3 with the corner of Jubilee Place to the extreme left.

If I had been on the correct side of the road it would have been a picture of a tree trunk. (RL)

When Melina takes Philip back to her room, Moise finds Libby (Ann Lynn) who follows him back to his boat on the river. The Pheasantry, King's Road in Chelsea.

Now a Pizza Express. (RL)

Morning turns to afternoon as portrayed by a strangely out of area shot. Heath Street in Hampstead NW3.

Peter managed a similar shot but from nearly ground level. (RL)

Later that day, Moise walks to a club to meet with his friends. Redcliffe Gardens in SW10 facing Fulham Road with Edith Grove beyond. More of Edith Grove and Redcliffe Gardens are seen in 'The Delavine Affair'.

Peter found a touch of rebuilding has been carried out across the road.

Moise descends into The Crypt. Redcliffe Gardens in Chelsea. The location has been a venue for several clubs over the years.

A new frontage greeted Peter when he arrived on site.

After many unanswered phone calls, Melina's fiancé arrives from the States. The Pheasantry on King's Road with the now demolished Classic Cinema to the right.

Grade ll listed, another John Betjeman triumph. (RL)

Carson (Clifford David) pays the cabbie. Looking south-west on King's Road.

A moment without busses. (RL)

Philip looks down from the roof to see the American businessman enter the building. The Pheasantry, King's Road SW3.

Nobody looking down today. (RL)

Melina and her lover are dismayed at Carson's arrival. Looking onto the buildings that populate Jubilee Place from the roof of The Pheasantry.

As Hector tells Carson which pub to find Melina in, Countess (Mildred Mayne) and Ada (Alison Seebohm) sell flowers from their mobile shop. This is Cadogan Street at the corner of Moore Street in SW3.

The pub now residential. (RL)

Countess and Ada spot Carson as he enters the pub. The public house is the Moore Arms at the junction of Cadogan Street and Moore Street. The hostelry was converted to residential use in the 2000s.

Indeed it was but architecturally sympathetic to the surroundings at least. (RL)

The two girls admire the newcomer as he goes inside the pub where Tutzi and Moise direct him to another location.

Carson arrives at 'Buck House' as instructed! Buckingham Palace in London SW1.

Peter arrives at The Palace of his own volition. (RL)

Geronimo looks up as a helicopter flies over. Chelsea Embankment SW3 with the chimneys of Battersea Power Station in the distance.

The chimney's now in the process of "modernisation". (RL)

Moise tells Geronimo that his friends are all sheep. Looking onto the Thames from Chelsea Embankment.

Cadogan Pier now expanded. (RL)

The beatniks continue on their way. Chelsea Embankment with Cadogan Pier and Albert Bridge to the left and the lamp-post commemorating the completion of the Embankment to the right.

Now. (RL)

Libby arranges to take Carson to see Melina at one of Geronimo's parties.

When they find that Melina had left the party, Carson makes his way back to his room alone. Piccadilly looking east from the bottom of Sackville Street.

In all my years in the West End of London I have never seen scaffolding here........until a shot is required for RS! (RL)

As the two get to know each other, Nina holds onto Carson as the two walk through the streets. Lennox Gardens Mews in SW1.

A little more "exclusive" these days. (RL)

The camera follows the couple as they turn a corner and find Geronimo, Tutzi and their friends sitting outside a pub. Milner Street at the junction with Lennox Gardens Mews.

Another "local" gone. (RL)

Fran's boyfriend brings drinks from the bar. The public house is The Australian which was situated at the corner of Milner Street and Lennox Gardens Mews.

The changing scene. (RL)

Countess spots the beers arriving. The Australian on Milner Street in SW1.

The neighbours will have no cause to complain about noise now. (RL)

As the pair pass by, Carson makes a comment about the elderly delinquents. Outside The Australian on Milner Street. The pub closed in 2006 and was redeveloped as apartments.

Now. (RL)

Disturbed about the disappearance of Melina, Philip rushes to the roof top. Peter W identifies this as the view from a rooftop on the north west side of Kings Road SW3, opposite Royal Avenue, with The White Hart public house prominent to the right. Shortly after filming, the pub became the legendary Chelsea Drugstore which can be glimpsed in 'Cool It Carol', but is currently a McDonald's outlet.

Taken from below the building where the scene was shot, Peter W captured this view of the premises that was once the White Hart.

Fran, Countess and Moise look up from the courtyard as the young man jumps to his death. Ron and Ray Glenister have established the location as Hills Road W2. (RL)

Chelsea Police Station in SW3. Also seen in 'Circumstantial Evidence'. 'Street Corner' and 'Three Steps to the Gallows'.

No longer a conventional police station. (RL)

Carson leave the police station after hearing Moise and Tutzi make obviously false statements. Chelsea Police Station at the corner of Petyward and Lucan Place.

It gets more depressing each time I visit. (RL)

Carson returns to the pub where he finds Nina who tells him what happened to Melina at the party. Looking through the doorway of the Moore Arms at the junction Cadogan Street and Moore Street.

With the pub long gone it was the best achievable. (RL)

In Nina's account, Philip drives Melina through the streets on Countess's flower car as the friends enact a funeral. Ron and Ray Glenister have established the location as Hills Road looking south across Westbourne Park Crescent, Paddington. London. All now re-developed as evidenced by the Google Earth View provided. (RL)

Carson and Nina walk back home to learn from Hector that Melina's father has arrived in London. SJ opines that this looks like Lennox Gardens Mews SW3.

And this is Lennox Gardens Mews SW3. SJ

When Ben Morgan discovers that his daughter is dead, Carson finds Moise who tells the truth about what happened at Geronimo's party.

Moise leaves The Crypt after explaining that Melina was killed when she fell and that the friends left her in the street after enacting the funeral. The buildings opposite still stand on Redcliffe Gardens SW10 with the one on the left having grown an additional storey.

Peter snapped the same buildings across from the club.

At Waterloo station, Ben Morgan (Eddie Albert) walks behind his daughter's coffin with Carson.

I may be wrong here but as there's been a vacancy for this and following captures, I would suggest here (the newly-unveiled Windrush statue is behind me). SJ

The coffin is loaded onto a train to begin the final journey back to the USA. Waterloo station on Waterloo Road, London SE1.

As above. SJ

Moise arrives on the platform as Carson tells Ben that he's staying in England. Waterloo station.

Geronimo, Tutzi, Ada, Countess and Fran watch as Moise walks from the station with Libby after telling Mr. Morgan that he's sorry.

Taken from the barrier of platforms 15 & 16 but not a lot matches. SJ

Detaching themselves from their former friends, Moise and Libby walk away. Waterloo Station, London SE1, which features in many productions including ‘Seven Days to Noon’, ‘The Pot Carriers’, ‘One Exciting Night’, 'The Heart Within', 'Hennessy', 'Waterloo Road', ‘The Good Die Young’, ‘Return of a Stranger’ and ‘Miss London Ltd.’.

This is taken from in front of the platform 15 ticket barrier and seems a reasonable window match. SJ
