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.

In the title sequence, Bullet-tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) is seen slamming a boot lid down outside Research Engineers, Orsman Road, London N1.

I found an exact match tricky here. SJ

  • 'Now' required

Cousin Avi (Dennis Farina) in his New York office takes a call from Frankie Four Fingers who has stolen an 86 carat diamond. The background is unidentified.

In London, Doug the Head (Mike Reid) leaves a pub and takes a call from Avi. Ye Olde Mitre pub, 1 Ely Court, Ely Place EC1.

Looking east. SJ

As Doug walks to his shop, Avi tells him that he has a diamond to sell. 9 Hatton Garden EC1.

Nice and quiet today. SJ

Doug says if the stones are kosher, he will buy them. He passes Arlington & Co at 11 Hatton Garden.

A little further up the street. SJ

Reaching his shop, Doug shoos away some loiterers. 13 Hatton Garden.

Not too busy yet. SJ

Vinny (Robbie Gee) takes his dog for a walk. 11 Hatton Garden.

The window displays are yet to be set up for the day. SJ

He arrives at a pawnbrokers. 88 Teesdale Street E2.

Vinny heads out on a job with Sol (Lennie James) and Tyrone (Ade). The junction of Canrobert Street and Old Bethnal Green Road E2, with the Kings Arms in the background.

Tris provides this comparison adding that "The Kings Arms closed in 2001 and has since been converted, somewhat amateurishly, for residential use."

They stop off at a petrol station. The junction of Bethnal Green Road and Wolverley Street E2.

The original camera position is now inside a Specsavers, so this is from the pavement outside.

Frankie Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) gets into a van handcuffed to a briefcase containing the diamond. 171 Manor Place, Kennington SE17.

About here. SJ

The bookies that the gang are out to rob. Manor Place SE17. The shops have recently been redeveloped into council homes.

These were boarded up for ages and were rebuilt with the same style columns. SJ

The van the gang are about to reverse into. The pub is Rosie O'Grady's, 204 Manor Place SE17. The pub was renamed the "Bison" around 2010 and was later a hostel.

Certainly not looking very open. SJ

Having grabbed Freddie Four Fingers, the gang drive away. Facing northeast from Rosie O'Gradys pub in Manor Place.

A daytime view. SJ

As Tyrone leaves a newsagents, a car starts chasing him. Unidentified location.

Tyrone runs from Black Prince Road into Salamanca Place SE1.

Salamanca Place was undergoing changes soon after the release of Snatch. There is currently a second generation of building when I re-visited. The building seen here on Black Prince Road remains however. SJ

Mullet (Ewen Bremner) chats with a friend. 18 Lower Marsh SE1.

Guys and Dolls, on the south side of Lower Marsh, closed in the mid 2010s but reopened as another hairdresser's Luca Othman for a while. SJ

Avi looks down from Doug's office window. This does not look like the Hatton Garden location.

Tony, Avi and Rosebud (Sam Douglas) interrogate Boris the Blade (Rade Serbedzija). 14 Tees Avenue, Perivale, Greater London.

Antony Blair was soon on the case and travelled over to Perivale.

Sol lets off a blank in the car. Passing the Stag's Head, 55 Orsman Road, Hoxton N1, which also appears in 'Legend' and 'Flawless'.

The pub shares a corner with Halcomb Street. SJ

The car crashes into someone. Facing west in Orsman Road.

Taken at dusk. SJ

Tony's car is also heading for a crash. 17 Orsman Road, outside Research Engineers.

The south side of the street. SJ

Boris staggers around in the street. 4 Orsman Road.

The north side of the street. SJ

Avi and Tony enter the Smoking Trout. In reality The Jolly Gardeners, 49 Black Prince Road SE11.

Even by almost lying on the pavement I was still unable to fit it all in. SJ

Police search the gang's car. Unidentified location.
