Half Moon Street

The London Central Mosque, Regent's Park, London. We need a drone to capture this shot, please use our donation button to assist in its purchase.

Pending the drone, here's the next best thing. This was shot from the Outer Circle given the angle of the crescent but a tree means I had to step further south. SJ

Same place from Park Road, London, NW1

They must have been using a strange lens for this shot, as well as being quite high. Looking southeast down St John's Wood High Street, NW8. SJ

Weaver runs through a small well appointed square, so perhaps the mosque previously shown is pretending to be opposite the Victoria and Albert Museum and she is in South Kensington.

Still running and dodging traffic.

Could this be Marylebone High Street? ... No, northeast end of St John's Wood High Street, NW8, found by Steve Randall. (SJ)

Rather off-angle as there were roadworks at this junction. SJ

Well, could it? ... No again, St John's Wood High Street. Steve found that Vadgama were at no77. (SJ) But until recently had moved to no39 further south of the junction with Circus Road.

Roadworks spoiled my Nov '23 picture so here's an improvement. SJ

These buildings look more like Marylebone rather than South Kensington.

Barrow Hill Road on the corner of Greenberry Street, NW8

Not much continuity going on. Barrow Hill Road on the corner of Greenberry Street, NW8. And that closed boarded police station has appeared in Clegg. SJ

Barrow Hill Road on the corner of Greenberry Street, NW8

Now JT we argued about this over a convivial flagon of sack in The Traveller's Tavern. NW8 I say. This corner was also seen in The Diplomatic Corpse back in 1958. SJ

Looking east along Bridgeman Street, NW8

And those two red telephone boxes were there in 1958 as well. Gone now though. No sign of Weaver either: looks like she didn't get knocked down by the taxi after all. Looking east along Bridgeman Street, NW8. SJ

Which part of London paints, or painted, their lamp posts blue with a black base?

And another blue lamp post. Wasn't there a film with a similar title?

An Underground station exit? Ladbroke Grove identified by Steve Cook, who was only reading about the Dub Vendor shop this week!

No, stop, Sigourney, you're going the wrong way for the next shot. SJ And the Dub Vendor shack moved away after the 80s.

Bayswater, Maida Vale?

One of the columns is still not level. SJ

...or are we now back in Bloomsbury? No, we're not, Powis Square, Notting Hill W11, and we've been here before. You don't remember? Do a search.

Sorry, JT, it's Colville Gardens, W11, but indeed very close to Powis Square. SJ

That's big isn't it? Identified by Peter as St. Helen's at 1 Undershaft in EC3. The skyscraper was previously known as the Aviva Tower and the Commercial Union building.

Peter found that little has changed.

The workplace . . . . Chiswick Town Hall, W4, has those wraparound railings. The building can also be seen in 'Yanks', 'Something Money Can't Buy' and 'Hennessy'. (SJ)

On Heathfield Road. SJ

Looks Victoria, South Ken-ish. Not to everyone! Dave W sees this as Adeline Place, WC1 looking down Bedford Avenue towards Bloomsbury Street.

Looking east. Sigourney should be turning to her right if she wants a quicker route to Bedford Square as seen in the next capture. SJ

Smart looking. Bedford Square in WC1 other views of which can be seen in 'Their Finest', 'Don’t Bother to Knock', 'Follow Me!', 'Wildcats of St. Trinian's', 'Accident' and 'Full Circle'.

Car's still in the same place. SJ

We've probably been here before.

Yep, the corner of Talbot Road and Colville Square, W11. SJ

But not here.

Nice block of flats, even in the rain... and after several years, Steve Randall has found Round Hill, Compton Avenue, Highgate N6, formerly the home of Ringo Starr between 1969 and 1973.

Close up of nice porch belonging to nice flats... As per the previous capture, the property has been totally rebuilt

Probably the theatre at the east end of Sloane Square, The English Stage Company.

Peter confirms with this shot of the Royal Court theatre in Chelsea SW1.

Yes ESC it is.

The same spot by Peter.

One of London's more famous bridges, even YOU should know this one. Answers on a postcard please handed in to the usherette. Remember them?

Peter provides this daytime view from ground level.

Those nice flats again... As above, Steve Randall found Compton Avenue, N6, but the road is gated and looks very private.

Were we here before?

26 Colville Square. On the left of this shot, the houses on Colville Terrace appear to have exchanged colours! SJ

And this is the fictional Half Moon Street. At the far end is an archway and maybe a church behind it. And the wiggle in the road looks similar to where the lad in 'The Weapon' was standing.

Those nice flats again... As per Steve's discovery for captures 22, 23, 27. The rebuilt version in Highgate will set one back about £40 mil should one be so inclined. (SJ)

Weren't we here with Dracula, or was it the Devil? Yes, it's High Canons on Buckettsland Lane, Well End near Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Also seen in 'Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World', 'You Must Be Joking' and 'Murder on the Orient Express'.

If Geoff Dodd had known that this shot was required when he visited High Canons a couple of years back he wouldn't have gone so close. (RL)

Happily he's not here today.

Another shot from Geoff Dodd when he was there two years back. (RL)

Could this be the Aldwych? The entrance to the hotel, where afternoon tea dances were once held.

Peter took this shot of the central entrance to the hotel as he found that it has three identical doorways!

A smart gaff. Identified by Geoff Dodd as Wrotham Park between Hadley Wood and Potters Bar in Hertfordshire, also seen, he says, in 'Gosford Park' and 'Jeeves and Wooster' as well as 'Peter's Friends', 'King Ralph', 'What a Girl Wants', 'White Mischief', 'Personal Services' and 'I Give It a Year'. (RL)

The workplace again.

Chiswick Town Hall, Heathfield Road, London W4. SJ

...and a reverse shot.

The white wall is still there. SJ

Tube station far right, could it be on the corner of Petty France, and we're looking from Tothill Street, Victoria? . . Close enough, round the corner on Broadway, SW1. (SJ)

And this is the confirmation from Peter.

Golf course club house. One of you enthusiasts will know which one, I was limited to crazy golf on the pier . . . Steve Randall's not a golf nut but he found Beaconsfield Golf Club, located at Seer Green, Buckinghamshire.Also seen in 'The Citadel'. (SJ)

A closer view by Antony Blair, who didn't want to walk over the course.

Another smart building, maybe north of Oxford Street? ... yes Bedford Square, WC1. (SJ)

47 to be precise. SJ

Panning right.

Light fading fast. SJ

Still moving right.

Very fast ... one has to be quick for nows in mid-December. SJ

A nice house in the county. Did you read what I said about buying a drone. Did you donate? ... A suggestion from Simon Burkett that this is Bridgefoot Farmhouse, just north-east of South Mimms services, owned by Wrotham Park also seen in capture 34. I checked with Google and the house just east of Mimmshall Brook seems a very good match though it's out of streetview range. (SJ)

Same nice house from a more pedestrian viewpoint. Found after several years' wait, thanks to Simon B: see above.

Is this Battersea Heliport? (A rhetorical question from JT). And, if so, we've been here on several occasions. Use the "SEARCH" facility to find out when.

Slightly better view of the background... As Michael Bradley observes, little did Caine know that he would be able to view Westland, now plain London, Heliport from this penthouse in the yet-to-be-constructed Belvedere Tower. (SJ)

The admin offices.

And this is Half Moon Street. Real or a set?

Remember the arch and the church that I mentioned earlier? Well, there they are.

Very clean, and recently painted, lamp post.

Reverse view.

Just above the post box it states Half Moon Street, so it must be real, mustn't it?

And there's an arch and a church.
