End of the Affair, The (1955)

Chester Terrace, The Regent's Park, London NW1. Start of a pan.

Now.

Nearly 20 years after the first comparison, a decent angle remains elusive with vehicular obstructions. SJ

Panning, but Graham Green, when he wrote the novel set it in, on and around Clapham Common.

Now.

An update with the lamp-post. SJ

Panning

Now.

Panning also. SJ

Panning. Look at the Victorian columns beside the door.

Now. Doorway put back to original Georgian, without the columns.

The columns remain elusive. SJ

Is this just down the road, where "Gideon's Day" was made? Can't make it match. Brother Brian

A minor "stately" home, but included as it isn't a regular tourist venue. Indeed not, identified by J. Rooney as Magna Carta House, Magna Carta Island, Wraysbury, Staines TW19. This also appears in 'The Corpse'. (RL)

A wider shot from J. Rooney to also incorporate the following captures. (RL)

Mark Adams in his book 'movie locations' suggests Wilton House, Near Salisbury. But no, identified by J. Rooney as Magna Carta House, Magna Carta Island, Wraysbury in Buckinghamshire. (RL)

Panning. Magna Carta House, Magna Carta Island, Wraysbury, Staines TW19, identified by J. Rooney. (RL)

Chester Terrace.

Now.

The hedge has increased the privacy in the intervening years. SJ

Cumberland Place.

Now.

The corner has not changed but the signs have rotated a bit. SJ

Again, and this corner was reused in Angel, Love and Romance.

Now.

The corner is now without Brian Tunstill, the brother of RS' founder John. SJ

Now.

The corner has not changed but the signs have rotated a bit. SJ

Warwick Crescent (1953) by David Tindle. Owned by Government Art Collection DCMS.

Once more.

Now. Pic by Simon James.

Looking across the water at Blomfield Road.

Now.

I did have a photo of the GPO cover in the road, showing where the telephone box was connected......But I've lost the picture....Tch! The "Basin", Little Venice, Regent's Canal. (JT)... Doug a self-confessed box expert says it's a dummy with its giveaway light door and lack of ability to auto-close (SJ)

Now.

Hyde Park Corner, near where Mum and Dad were in "This Happy Breed", and Norman Wisdom skated round in "Trouble in Store".

Now. Marble Arch. SJ.

Not too sure about this one. Is it Chester Place? The reason that all this bomb damage was filmed in The Regent's Park is because Cambridge Terrace and some other sites were really war damaged and not rebuilt for years. Does anyone have the dates of the bombing or any more info? I used to live there, in the 70s/80s, so I am interested in the history of the park. Brother Brian.

Wherever we thought this might have been, Denis Hoare has found evidence that it was actually Robert Street, London NW1. looking westward. I have yet to find out whether any copyright is attached to the photo evidence that Denis has provided. (RL)

Hyde Park Corner

From Tyburn Way looking towards Edgware Road. SJ.

And panning

Panning past Edgware Road. Many changes but the Connaught Place terraces (to the left) clinches it. SJ.

The side of St. Mary Magdelene in Munster Square, London NW1 as advised by Denis Hoare and subsequently confirmed by Mark Weaver. (RL)

A church indeed, St. Mary Magdelene in Munster Square, London NW1 says Denis Hoare who provided a Google Earth capture to support. There cannot be many drainpipes so distinctive. Thanks to Denis and his "informer" who watched the filming both here and in Chester Terrace. Google now replaced by SJ
