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.

A street. Brixton? Somewhere in Lambeth, the street lamp is one of theirs. . ~ Pat Loobey

Is this real, or a very good set? Harrowby St with Edgware Road by the traffic lights to right and left and Burwood Place beyond the lights . ~ Pat Loobey. Been there; can't see it at all. SJ.
I agree with Simon that it doesn't look good, in the old photo the corner looks like a bank and in the new development the corner is a bank no doubt paid for by the developers. This from Aidan McManus.

As above, the perspective is a trifle strange, and the buildings a little grey Harrowby St with Edgware Road by the traffic lights to right and left and Burwood Place beyond the lights. ~ Pat Loobey
On the extreme left are two windows, the only building left from the 50's. The trees are still there as well so I agree with Pat Loobey on this one, obviously he remembers it from back in the day. Aidan McManus again.
