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.

This looks like Whitehall Court, London SW1. McDormand leaves her post and is shy, ducking her head down.

Yes it is, also seen in Who Dares Wins and Dirty Pretty Things. SJ.

Suddenly we're in Pimlico.

The White Ferry House on the corner of Westmoreland Terrace and Turpentine Lane. Note the set dressing sealing off Turpentine Lane. SJ.

Peabody Avenue, west of Turpentine Lane.

No lamppost but the right trees, along with some rather grim street furniture: looking north up Peabody Avenue. SJ

Clever: Onslow replaces Adelphi on John Adam Street, WC2. McDormand seeks a new post.

This still looks exectly the same. Photo copyright Google Maps. Terry Guntrip.

  • 'Now' required

Looks a bit like Somerset House, or Admiralty Arch but I can't match it. Possibly the courtyard of the Foreign Office ... Close, the building immediately south, The Treasury.

Too easy, after this, the next shot. The above is Savoy Court off Strand and this is the Savoy, WC2.
