Arabesque

A college, perhaps Oxford?

Canterbury Quad, St John's College Oxford. Again taken by Russell.

Now identified.

Canterbury Quad, St John's College Oxford. Well snapped by Russell Groves, many thanks.

Probably the same place.

Same place, close up, Russell again, thank you.

Very narrow spire.

Magpie Lane, weren't we nearby with Bachelor of Hearts? Russell would have us believe that the spire is behind the tree!!! A likely story that we believe. Well spotted that man.

London?

London it is: details if one can't make out the sign in London Movie Guide. SJ.

London Zoo.

Main gate, London Zoo. Regents Park.

Zoo again, but it will probably cost you more to get in and take the photo than the prize is worth!

The Monkey House used to stand opposite The Ape House which in turn was replaced by the Reptile House (which appeared in the first Harry Potter), built in similar style so I thought an inaccurate comparison would be better than nothing.

Not St James' Palace, maybe the Temple? "ghuehesarch" of Britmovie places this as New Buildings, Common Lane, Eton. (RL)

Taken a little closer, as the pillar in the original capture now sits behind a glass wall. The buildings are also seen in 'Cloudburst'.(SR)

New Buildings, Common Lane, Eton (RL)

Of course the sentry boxes were props. (SR)

Probably the same place. Indeed it is New Buildings, Common Lane, Eton (RL)

The same place, and the same arch. (SR)

An additional grab from Tim Langley showing Loren and Peck in a scrapyard opposite a pub.

This is The Swan pub and South Street, Old Isleworth, Middlesex. "My dad worked on the location and remembers it well. The scrap yard has since disappeared and it is new shops, houses and a green area." Tim who supplied the now. (SJ)

And maybe Eton again.

Waterloo Station, London.

Rooflines from various angles, and yes, Waterloo it is.

Bit dark this one... identified by Alan F as Lime Street, EC2.

And street viewed and proved by Graham Davies. (SJ)

As above.

And another Google one from Gray with thanks. SJ

Is that a cinema in the background? ...

An unnamed access road alongside the north side of London Road, Hounslow, between Kingsley Road and North Drive. The building in the background was a cinema, but for all the time that I knew it (up until its demolition, several years ago) it was a bingo hall. Alan Field, and confirmed by Paul Sturm who watched the filming with the London Fire Brigade providing the rain. (SJ)

Suburbia. Pownall Road, Hounslow located by Alan Field who points out the house in middle distance with a 1930s bay window.

Antony Blair concentrates on the deco building which stands on, what is now, a one way street.

Nice stables. John Hicks found this reference in the memoir of Christopher Challis, the cameraman on Arabesque: "Seated on the roof of a stable block, part of a large estate in the Midlands, we were waiting for a glimpse of sun to complete the last shots of Arabesque". So that narrows it down a bit! As established by Clive Turner and Colin Hawkins elsewhere, Phil Richards confirms that this is indeed Tyringham Hall, near Newport Pagnall, Bucks. I am repeating this in those captures to which currently there is no text or narative. (RL)

A stable block also appeared in The Bitch. Any horse racing fans out there? Readers of The Sporting Life? Maybe he is, but Clive Turner did find Tyringham Hall near Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire for sale in The Steeple Times and provides this link with a picture of the stables. http://thesteepletimes.com/opulence-splendour/a-happy-mansion/ Let's hope it stays for some time.

One suggestion is that it is near Ascot. As established by Clive Turner and Colin Hawkins elsewhere, Phil Richards confirms that this is indeed Tyringham Hall, near Newport Pagnall, Bucks. I am repeating this in those captures to which currently there is no text or narative. (RL)

Pretty garden. Colin Hawkins says Tyringham House, near Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire.

Crumlin Viaduct near Caerphilly, Monmouthshire.

Crumlin Viaduct in Monmouthshire.

Looking up at Crumlin Viaduct in Monmouthshire.

A light-hearted ending. An added still proposed by Graham Kelly, who has found suggestions of Magdalene Bridge and Hurley Lock in his research with neither seeming definitive. Perhaps adding this will help identification. (SJ)
