Georgy Girl

Roland-François Lack contacted us "I'm afraid I have doubts about a previous identification of the first few screen captures for this film. They are all Kensington High Street. In 1966, there was a Barratt's Shoe Shop at 135 Kensington High Street . . ."

Confirmed by Richard Lovejoy. Kensington High Street . . . . 135 opposite.

Kensington High Street W8.

. . . and so the other side it has to be, but somewhat different shopfronts. Now by from Richard Lovejoy.

A London Eating House at 108/110 Kensington High Street advises Roland-Francois Lack.

London Eating House was indeed at 108 High Street, Kensington, now, who else but MacDonalds! Note the brickwork if confirmation is necessary. Richard Lovejoy.

Thomas Cook at 104 now Ann Summers . . . is further comment necessary? Richard Lovejoy. They both assist in providing happy trips!

I knew this one, Brompton Road, but Peter adds, on the corner of Egerton Gdns, thanks.

Now. Toilets gone, just when they were needed!

Brompton Road

Now. Amazing photograph showing absolutely nothing, in truth, bloody useless!

No 7 Harley Road, NW3, thanks to Tony Reeves. Have you read his book?

Now. No 7 Harley Road, NW3

Maida Ave, Little Venice, W2

Now. Maida Ave, W2, Pic by George Markham, well done, thank you. Michael Palin also "lived" in this street in "A Fish Called Wanda".

Maida Ave, W2, canal and Blomfield Road. The area features in 'The Ipcress File', 'Omen III: The Final Conflict' and 'A Fish Called Wanda'.

Now. Maida Ave, but not really, wrong angle.

Leicester Square

Now. Leicester Square, Miguel Oramas, thanks Miguel

Peter Astaire locates this as Hogarth Road in Earls Court SW5, which can be seen in 'Straight On Till Morning', 'Laughter in the Dark', 'Sapphire', 'Two a Penny' and 'Mr. Forbush and the Penguins' . . .

. . . and confirms the spot with this comparison.

Blomfield Rd, W2, little Venice

Now. Blomfield Rd, George Markham

Blomfield Road

Now. Blomfield Road, looking the other way. George turned round, snapped, and found another!

A playground

Now. Paddington recreation ground, London, W9 and is just 100 yards from Blomfield Road and Maida Ave, used in other shots. Pics from Jenner Folwell, many thanks.

Same playground, different viewpoint

I used to play on the big slide as a young child. The Rec also had a large paddling pool, which is just beyond the slide in gg014. The two blocks in the background are still visible and these are fronted on Carlton Vale London NW6. Jenner again, thank you.

Town Hall, Haverstock Hill, Belsize Park, NW3.

Now. Thanks to Tony Reeves

At the time of filming the Town Hall was being used as a local register office overseeing, for example, Dudley Moore's and Suzy Kendall's wedding in 1968. It has now home to Wacs Art. SJ

Belsize Park Tube Station.

Now. George

Little has changed here. SJ

Off Maida Ave, Little Venice, W2

Now. Off Maida Avenue, Little Venice, W2 George Markham, well done, that man

The Royal Garden Hotel on Kensington High Street other parts of which appear in 'The Spy with the Cold Nose', 'The Man Outside', 'Morgan, a Suitable Case for Treatment' and 'What’s Up Superdoc!' while the road outside can be seen in 'Time is My Enemy' and '23 Paces to Baker Street'.

Now. Royal Garden Hotel Peter Astaire confirmed, and George took the photo.

Where are, or were, these fountains, Maybe Marble Arch?

Yes, Marble Arch in rather a parlous state now. SJ.

St Charles' Hospital, Exmoor St, Ladbrook Grove.

Now. St Charles' Hospital, and sleuthed by Adrian Moor. Well done Hawkeye,

Probably outside of St. Charles Hospital on Exmoor Street in W10. Joe Gibbons confirms the location adding that he parked his ambulance there hundreds of times.

This is the other view of pic gg021. No prizes here.

Now.

Outside St Charles.

Now. Outside St Charles. But the Kensal Green gasholder has gone, but it appears in Look Back in Anger.

Maida Ave, Little Venice, W2.

Now. Maida Ave, Little Venice, W2, really, George

Big Ben - no prizes here, it falls into the "stately home category". Hitchcock appears in the same location in Frenzy, as I'm sure you recall.

Now. SJ.

Thamesside. It seems to say HOSES on the building on the left.

Cardinal's Wharf aka Bankside, London SE1 and the Tate Modern, pity about that tree. (RL)

St Paul's Cathedral

Now. From the New Tate Gallery, South Bank, the old Southbank power station. Photo from Jane Humana. Thank you.

Passing Tower Bridge, probably the site of the Tower Hotel and St Katherine's dock, see more of this location in "To the Devil a Daughter".

In the background stands the Royal Naval College at Greenwich advises Mick Lemmerman, who adds that the former occupants of the building, The Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, departed in 1869.

Now. The Greenwich Royal Naval Hospital, photo Gordon Hallam, thank you.

Opposite the Royal Hospital, the Thames foot tunnel entrance on the Isle of Dogs E14 is visible.

Now. The Thames at Greenwich. Gordon again,

Greenwich Pier

Now. Greenwich Pier. Same place, different view, "stately home", but good foreground.

View from Maida Ave towards Blomfield Rd.

Now. View from Maida Ave towards Blomfield Rd. George, a few too many leaves.

St Mary's church, Maida Ave.

Now. St Mary's church, Maida Ave. Thanks again Georgie!
