Love Actually

An establishing shot of Rickman and Thompson's place. After weeks of searching, Annie Green found Albert Square in Stockwell SW8 with properties on Aldebert Terrace to the left.

Shot, looking west, in the morning in contrast to the original's afternoon. 15 & 16 Albert Square. Roger Moore spent his early years both in Aldebert Terrace and Albert Square. SJ

Rickman and Makatsch's workplace where Marshall delivers sandwiches. Clerkenwell? That sign seems to say "Dowe Place."

Robin Holland identifies this as E M A House at 62-72 Tabernacle Street EC2 with "Dowe Place" actually Clere Street. Peter provides this image noting that the small sign above Clere Street reads formally Paradise Street.

Studio where Freeman and Page are stand-ins for characters in a porn film. Is it a real studio: quite individual architecture outside.

Grant arrives at no 10 Downing Street, apparently a studio set.

The real McCoy taken by Glenn Horridge: the main differences are the the tree and no wall in front of the brown-bricked building. (SJ)

Knightley's wedding in The Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley Street, London W1.

The spectacular gallery and organ of the chapel. SJ

Firth arrives home at 2a, The Studio, Blenheim Road, Turnham Green, London W4. Thanks to Tony Reeves for this one.

Very close to Nuns on the Run. SJ

Neeson reads an eulogy for his dead wife. St Paul's Church, Rectory Grove, SW4, with thanks to Tony Reeves.

Marshall drives away. Golborne Road looking south, London W10.

Unchanged. SJ

Neeson and Sangster share thoughts on the South Bank, SE1.

That's the bench. SJ

Closer shot. Gabriel's Wharf.

Firth's "Portuguese" retreat for writing. Actually to the west of Frejus in Vidauban, Var, South of France. Robin Holland advises that this burnt down and no longer exists. (RL)

Lincoln storms out of his pad after giving away his infatuation of and to Knightley. Barge House Street, SE1. Now big in the states in Fox's The Walking Dead.

The same place today by David Ahern.

Turning left and heading for the River Thames, SE1.

A bit bleaker now but with a population of bikes appearing! Picture by David Ahern.

The Oxo Tower Wharf, SE1, just east of Gabriel's Wharf (qv.)

David Ahern found the same spot now.

Firth and Moniz at a "Portuguese airport." Marseille, France.

And off she goes.

Firth looks wistful.

Thompson greets Rickman (off camera) outside Carluccio's. There is one near Selfridge's, the next scene, in St Christopher's Place, W1.

Steps altered a little. SJ

Selfridge's, 400 Oxford Street, W1

Now. SJ

Marshall at 54 Golborne Road, London W10.

Driving cold rain and white vans! It's not all glamorous, this location work, you know. SJ

Firth descending into Canary Wharf underground, E14.

Going underground by David Ahern.

"Milwaukee Airport" actually Sandown Park Racecourse from the car park, Esher, Surrey. Thanks to Tony Reeves for this.

John Harwood captured the "airport" racecourse and wondered who thought this one up. I expect the budget did! (SJ)

Freeman and Page at an unidentified location for nearly 10 years but it has been found by the resilience of Annie Green who names Gaywood Street, London SE1.

21 Gaywood Street minus Christmas decorations. SJ

Firth thinks about Christmas in London, before deciding he wants Portugal. The address is 1 Rupert Street even though this is on the north side of Bath Road, W4.

Robin Holland, wondering whether the new fence and greenery was paid for out of the location fee, provided a google shot in July 2015, now replaced by SJ

Looking keen (at first) and greeted by Linney. Grab taken for those arched windows in the house opposite... identified by Robin Holland as the Arts Educational School, 14 Bath Road, W4.

Oh dear: under hoarding but preferable to the Google shot which this replaces. SJ

Lincoln in St Luke's Mews, London W11, after saying Happy Christmas to Knightley.

A much loved cinematic mews. See London Movie Guide for others. SJ

Poplar Road, SE24. I watched the filming of this on two occasions in separate months: Grant is in the car in front of the police car.

David Buckley's photo from June 2008. (SJ)

102 and 100 Poplar Road, SE24, McCutcheon and Maktsch's doors respectively.

Taken soon after the release. Same doors, same brickwork scarrings. SJ

McCutcheon and Grant arrive at Elliott School, Pullman Gardens, SW15

The Elliott School became the Ark Putney Academy in 2012. Looks like an added building right to the left. This is the gate further south on Pullman Gardens looking east. SJ

Firth in search of Moniz in Marseille. The city is also seen in 'Seven Thunders' and 'House of Secrets'... Flushed with the success of the cap23 identification Annie finds 9 Montee des Accoules. (SJ)

... And finds her in Le Bar de la Marine, 15 Quai de Rive Neuve, the Old Port in Marseille. Thanks once again to Tony Reeves for this.
