Bob Hoskins, as George, heading south of the river over Waterloo Bridge.

Ruth Patterson kindly sent this one in, the centre of Waterloo Bridge looking East

Heading to buy flowers at the junction of Landells Road and Goodrich Road in SE22.

No flowers to be bought here now. All four corner shops at this junction have disappeared.

Bob walks towards his former home on Darrell Road, East Dulwich. Looking towards Upland Road and the entrance to Robbie Coltrane's business.

No too different after over 25 years.

Bob and Robbie heading from Darrell Road and crossing Upland Road.

Another business turned into a house.

Back to the corner of Landells Road and Goodrich Road, from later in the film, with Bob's Jaguar turning into Landells Road. The flower shop in capture 2 is out of shot on the corner to the right.

The houses looking the same.

This location is masquerading as Robbie Coltrane's business premises. However, this is Lombard Wharf on the bank of the Thames in SW11. The area was used in 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'The Optimists of Nine Elms'.

Swinging round from the previous image identifies the location to be Lombard Wharf on the south bank of The Thames near Lombard Road in Battersea.

The railway bridge is variously known as Chelsea Bridge, Battersea New Bridge, Battersea Railway Bridge or Cremorne Bridge. SJ

George and Simone walking away after leaving the Caxton Hotel on Caxton Street, SW1.

Looking at the hotel's website reveals that it was used for interior shots too. The hotel has since been renamed St. Ermin's Hotel and also featured in 'Dance with a Stranger 'and 'Diamonds for Breakfast'.

A night time shot of The Ritz with George's Jag outside. Piccadilly, London.

The Casino sign on the right has changed into a Club sign.

Exiting the Ritz.

The Ritz at 150 Piccadilly, London W1.

Location yet to be identified.

George pulls up with Simone outside her apartment.

Trinity Court on Grays Inn Road, London.

Simone and George about to go shopping in Piccadilly Arcade on Jermyn Street SW1.

The same location now.

Outside the school where George attempts to meet his daughter. St Michael and All Angels Academy in Farmers Road, off Camberwell New Road, London SE5 identified by LFLG

And here's the one I took in preparation for LFLG. SJ

Outside the school from image ml013 from later in the film.

Farmers Road in London SE5.

The top of the hill that George drives down after picking up his daughter from school. No longer an unknown location thanks to Neil Rigby who establishes Glycena Road, London SW11 off Lavender Hill. (RL)

Replacing Neil's Oct '19 GEV view, this north-looking shot shows the tower block Castlemaine on the corner of Culvert Road and Battersea Park Road. SJ

George walking along Gerrard Street towards Wardour Street in London's Chinatown. The far junction is also seen in 'The Playbirds', 'Wonderland' and 'Soho Incident'.

The same location now.

The east side of Wardour Street.

A few changes here but the same location. Notice the fireman's switch in the top of the doorway on the extreme left.

Taken through the winscreen of Georges Jag. Approaching Leicester Square from Piccadilly.

Peter provided this picture of Coventry Street, without the rain.

Pindar Street Bridge over the north end of Liverpool Street Station. The bridge was demolished as part of the redevelopment of the area.

The now demolished Pindar Street Bridge looking down onto Liverpool Street Station platforms. Better views of the station can be seen in 'The Elephant Man', 'Mission: Impossible', 'The File of the Golden Goose', 'The Entertainer' and 'I Was Monty's Double'.

IMDB says Cheney Road, St. Pancras but it looks like the cafe is part of the undercroft of St Pancras Station fronting Pancras Road. Other parts of the station feature in ‘Smashing Time’, ‘The Servant’, ‘The Ladykillers’, ‘Shirley Valentine’, ‘The Fourth Protocol’, ‘McVicar’, ‘The Comedy Man’, ‘Wings of Mystery’, ‘A Cry from the Streets’, ‘The Painted Smile’, ‘Voyage of the Damned’, ‘Nuns on the Run’ and ‘Simon and Laura’.

A lot of work has been carried out at St Pancras so not sure if this is exactly the right location but note the downpipes and the arches to the right with additional stone work.

George walking away after visiting an adult video shop. Tisbury Court, London W1 identified by Matt Gauci. Simon explains that "I used its former name of Little Crown Court, with apologies to those who were misled, in London Movie Guide. The Soho court also appears in 'Say Hello to Yesterday', 'A Business Affair', 'The Last Yellow', 'Last Night in Soho', 'The Look of Love' and the closing credits of television's 'Minder'.

Matt Gauci also provides this view.

Floral Street in London WC2 identified by Peter.

Peter captured the location and adds "The bonnet of the car to the left of centre is in Lynley Court which runs into Floral Street. The Orange sign reads Sanctuary Spa and played a hotel or casino in the film. This shot had eluded me for months and it was my old manor."

George drives through London. Ruth Patterson locates this as Rosebery Avenue EC1 which is confirmed by Doug Smith as looking towards Clerkenwell Road with the corner of Grays Inn Road to the right.

Ruth Patterson took this comparison closer to the junction, looking westward.

Sean Longden suggested that this shot was taken on Back Hill looking up onto Clerkenwell Road, London EC1.

And he is right. The same location now.

Mortwell's house . . . Phil Burkin identifies this as the rear/side of a house called "The Knoll" in Mounts Pond Road, Blackheath. He was working in the area at the time of filming. Living nearby, as he did when the film was made, Jonathan C. adds that the property used to have two names, The Knoll and Old Knoll, because the house was divided, but it has since been re-united into one house.

Only an aerial Google view was thought possible but this replaces that with a reasonable, though I say so myself, effort. Taken from the corner of Mounts Pond Road and Granville Park on Blackheath Common, SE13. SJ

After leaving Mortwell's house. Mounts Pond Road in Blackheath identified by Jonathan C.

Phil Burkin confirmed this to be Blackheath with the houses in the background being in Aberdeen Terrace. Taken in front of Granville Park, behind me, because the trees have "exploded" and it would be tricky to replicate even in winter. SJ

Phil Burkin advises that this is the front gate of the "Old Knoll." Jonathan C. comments "I can remember seeing Michael Caine there when this scene was filmed. The two number 9s on the gate pillars must have been temporary additions."

Looking east. SJ

Heading into Brighton along Marine Drive (A259).

This is Ovingdean. A similar view was seen in 'The Double'. SD

George, Simone and Cathy arrive at the Royal Albion Hotel, Old Steine, Brighton.

The Albion Hotel now. SD

George (bottom left) walking away from the seafront in Brighton. Could be any of a number of streets.

But Neil Rigby found that it is actually Waterloo Street, Hove, BN31, with a photo to replace Neil's Google Streetview image. SD

George and Simone walk along the Palace Pier. The pier was seen in 'Pop Pirates', ‘Carry on at Your Convenience’ and many other productions.

Is that the same tower block now almost hidden? (RL)

George walks along the seafront at Queens Gardens, Hove after Mortwell has been shot.

Now, with the i360 visible in the distance. SD

Queens Gardens, Hove.

The colourful beach huts on Hove Promenade were also seen in 'Brighton Rock' (2010). SD
