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.

Says Berner Street, but it ain't. Real, with a false name, or a set? David is pretty sure all the street shots in this film use the Baker Street set built at Pinewood the previous year for Billy Wilder's "Private Life of Sherlock Holmes". The set is also used in 'Carry On at Your Convenience' and television's 'UFO'.

Georgian houses.

Supposedly the same street, but very different houses. Alan Hoare confirms that the majority of this film was shot at Pinewood Studios, on a backlot set built for 'The Private Life of Sherlock Homes'.

A mystery "Ministry" building, with Foot Guards outside. This is the Wellington Barracks set built at Pinewood for "The Breaking of Bumbo" the previous year which also turns up in 'The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins' and 'Assault, as well as television's 'The Persuaders' and 'UFO'. Seriously well spotted David, seems they are using the same guardsmen also!
