If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.
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. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

Blanchett bikes through a tunnel, probably the same as 010, Gordon House Road, NW5.
Yes it is the same but what kind of lens were they using? I tried to take one by the tunnel wall where Blanchett is standing but the angle ruled out all the houses so this is slightly further east from the bridge. SJ
