Can you help:
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.

Farrell's place: now I know this one. I'll give you all a few days to solve it before taking and loading the now. A little challenge.
Too late. Corner of Mountford Place and Kennington Road, SE11. SJ

Mean London street.

The south bank.

I think that's the old Hungerford Bridge in the original capture so this is the new look. SJ

A treacherous place to bed down for the night. Southwark Bridge underpass completed in 1997. The panels on the right are engraved with an historic map of Southwark. (SR)

Paparazzi on the roof of Serlby Court, Addison Road, W14, keeping a lens ready for Knightley. SJ

A mews supposedly at the back of Addison Road.
In reality the mews is not at the back of Addison Road, not in W14 but in the W2 postcode area. The mews is called Botts Mews, W2 5AG. The gates are props. Botts Mews is located off Chepstow Road. Greg Mishevski. And, naturally, he's right again. SJ

Farrell trades abuse with white van man.
Now, with the Prince of Wales pub (It Happened Here) just out of sight to the right. SJ

Another rising shot just for good measure. Looks like Pottery Lane, W11.
And, as above, is indeed Pottery Lane, SJ

There's a couple of blocks like these I've noticed when watching cricket at the Oval. One on Lawn Lane and another on Meadow Road.
Sirinham Point on Meadow Road, SW8. SJ

Chaplin and Farrell: reverse pov of above. Meadow Road I reckon, London SW8.
Now. SJ

Knightley on Holland Park Avenue opposite Clarendon Raod, W11
Now, and the correct angle at last. SJ
- Capture 20

Farrell back at lobo004 and 010.
There was a sign just out of shot which would have made the location easier to spot. SJ

A high up cemetery. Greenwich SE9? Actors in shot in the distance... Camberwell New Cemetery, SE23 3RD. Greg Mishevski
Greg is correct. It's quite a view from here. And look the gravestones were all real. SJ

As above but that's Canary Wharf on the horizon...Camberwell New Cemetery, SE23 3RD. Greg Mishevski

Here's a clue locationers thrive on. Back to the mews. Does that say St Georges Mews, W11 reflected in the bonnet? I don't think it's NW1 or else it would be the Primrose HIll one in most A-Zs.
There are 5 mews in W14 postcode area (Addison Road) and at the same time in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The 3 of those mews are close to Addison Road, but none of the 5 mews is the mews used in the film. I don't see any "St. George's Mews, W11" sign. The sign says probably "George Mews, W11". There are only two "George Mews" in London postcode area. The 1st mews is in NW1 and the 2nd mews is in SW9 and neither of these 2 mews is the mews used in the film. So, both the location of the mews and the sign are fake. In reality the mews is not at the back of Addison Road, neither in W14 and W11 postcode area, but in W2 postcode area and is not called "George Mews". The mews is called Botts Mews, W2 5AG. Botts Mews is located off Chepstow Road. Greg Mishevski. And this is the now. SJ

And this is the exit, 23 bus would suggest Ladbroke Grove area a possibility.
In Fusion, 1-3 Chepstow Road, W2 5BL. The 23 bus is also a prop, because there is no bus route 23 in Chepstow Road. Greg Mishevski. Now. SJ

An estate, probably south London. Actors in distance.
Not south, but east London. Left: Kinsham House, Ramsey Street, E2 6HS. Right: Westhope House, Derbyshire Street, E2 6HL. This is taken from Weavers Fields, next to Derbyshire Street opposite Hague Street corner. Looking southwest towards Broadgate Tower. Greg Mishevski. Greg sleuths, SJ confirms.

And the pan round as Farrell pays a visit to Winstone's gaff.
The house is called Fairfield, 9 Dulwich Village, SE21 7BU. Fairfield is a large 1920's house located next door to Dulwich Village Infants' School. Greg Mishevski. Even the gates (out of shot) are the same. SJ

That mews again.
The mews is called Botts Mews, W2 5AG. This is a reverse shot of lobo014. The gates are props. Greg Mishevski. And here's the proof. SJ
