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.

Pounding the streets of Notting Hill. Steve Randall found a stock image showing more the frame showing that the launderette was the Frigidaire Self Service Laundry, which was at 17 Kensington Park Road, London. So Hugh is walking westwards down Elgin Crescent. A 12-year-old mystery solved. (SJ)

The launderette now an estate agents named Domus Nova in Tris's comparison.
