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.

The Hop Pole but neither the one in SE1 or in SW18.
This is Charles Square with the new building (Gantry House, 28 Charles Square) obscuring the now closed Hop Pole on the corner of Pitfield Street and Coronet Street, London N1. Many thanks to Ray Simmons who guided me to exactly the right spot, and tells me there were actually two Hop Poles in SE1. SJ.

Holland Park. London W8 but it's dark and lots of houses look like this. The tree? Also seen in 019 and 022.
Back in July 2013 I walked up and down Holland Park and thought I'd found a match albeit scaffolded. But after "Mine and the Minotaur" was published on Reelstreets in 2023, I went back for a rethink and believe it is the same address, no.3. SJ

Website visitor Steve Randall confirms the Oasis of Nefta, Tunisia as a location match. The salt-flats near Nefta were used as a filming location for the Star Wars movies, standing in for Luke Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine.

Steve Randall confirmed via a website image match that this and the previous shot are indeed in Tunisia at the Oasis of Nefta (also spelled Naftah). Apparently scenes for the French movie La Vérité si je Mens! 2, were also filmed here.

A church. In fact St Matthew's Bayswater, viewed from St. Petersburgh Place, London W2. (SR)
This site is an extremely disappointing sight. It may be some time before a replacement becomes available. SJ

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Home Offices, King Charles Street, London SW1.
How about this for blurry? Taken surreptitiously as the guards don't seem to be very keen at the appearance of a camera. SJ

This replaces my July 2013 attempt which, although unchallenged, was wrong. A good match of trees here. SJ

France? ... Manuel Gurtner kindly confirms my guess. This is the view from the south towards Château de Hautefort from 1680, situated above the smalltown of Hautefort, Dordogne department.
