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.

  • Capture 1
  • 12 Jun 2011

St Thomas' Hospital, beyond which Genevieve passed, bomb damage.

Roughly the now shot. SJ

  • Capture 2
  • 12 Jun 2011

Same hospital with Big Ben in the distance. Up the road a bit from Passport to Pimlico, and across the road a bit from 'Frenzy' and 'Night is a City'.

And again, roughly the right place off Westminster Bridge Road. SJ

  • Capture 3
  • 31 Aug 2009

Horseguard's, Whitehall, London.

This replaces my shot of 31 Aug 2009 which was off angle and had too much renovation. SJ

SW1 maybe. Do you know? ... How embarrassing in that this has been unsolved for over 10 years and with the SW1 hint. This bend was also seen in 'Without a Clue', 'Murder by Decree' and 'The Pickwick Papers'. Click the date.

It is Cowley Street, SW1. The white building (6 Barton Street) is blue-plaqued for Lord Reith. And opposite there's one for Sir John Gielgud. SJ

Similar railings so probably just down the street... Yup (10 years later).

While the doorway (3 Cowley Street) is the original seen in the capture, it looks as though the doorway and blue door of no.2 has been added since, and indeed the brickwork above and to the side looks fresher. SJ
