The grass area in the then is now planted with bushes so a direct comparison tricky even in winter. SJ

Brad's taxi stops outside 20 Manchester Square - which was EMI's HQ from June 1960 to 1995. It was on the staircase inside this building that the Beatles posed for their Please Please Me album sleeve (and the blue and red greatest hits double albums). EMI dismantled the staircase and installed it at new premises in 1995.

20 Manchester square was developed by Delancey and completed in 2001. It is let in its entirety to ICI plc on a 20-year lease. Streetview image (10/9/12) replaced by a very white car. SJ

Brad doesn't recognise Theresa. Same location as shot 'thaeot009' above.

I'm quite pleased with this match even though I didn't use a cab's window. The pub's good for a sunny pint too. SJ
