Where Has Poor Mickey Gone?

Storming off ahead of her boyfriend, a Young Woman heads to the Indigo nightclub in Soho. This is Poland Street, London W1.

Is this the same location? Yes it is! (PW)

Catching up with his girlfriend, the Young Man tells her that he'd rather go to the cinema before following her down the steps and into the club. Outside the twice replaced 52-53 Poland Street in Soho.

The latest incarnation of the same address. (PW)

Watched by Kip from across the street, Two Bouncers (Tommy Eytle and Vincent Shaw) throw three rowdy lads out of the club. A closer view of the column detail of former office block on Poland Street. The location is currently occupied by a hotel and restaurant.

The present building's detail isn't quite as intricate. (PW)

Ginger (Ray Armstrong) looks on as Mick (John Malcolm) pulls Tim (John Challis) towards him when its suggested that they're running out of clubs to go to because of him. Facing south on Poland Street with the still extant arches belonging to numbers 1 to 5 on the left.

Facing the same way. (PW)

After throwing an empty milk bottle through the club's sign, the three youths run away. Poland Street at the corner of D'Arblay Street.

Different window, same corner. (PW)

Looking onto Dean Street from the corner of Bourchier Street with Gennaro's Rendezvous Restaurant, now The Groucho Club, to the right. ‘The Man at the Carlton Tower’ also passed this way while 1999's 'Wonderland' features the famous club.

Unmistakable. (PW)

The hoodlums turn into a side street. Facing 41 to 43 Dean Street in W1.

It wouldn't be London without roadworks! (PW)

Reaching a safe distance from the club, the three pause to get their breath. Bourchier Street running between Wardour Street and Dean Street.

An approximation of the same location. (PW)

Kip Smith (Christopher Robbie) catches up with the louts after following them so as not to be blamed for the smashed sign at the club. Bourchier Street with Dean Street in the distance.

The same narrow street captured again after fifty-six years. (PW)

Accepting the gatecrasher into their group, the lads lark about as they set off into the darkness. Bourchier Street in Soho.

Somewhere about here. (PW)

Kicking boxes as they go, the four run along an alleyway.

Ginger smells the aroma of fried haddock.

Mick persuades Tim to get fish and chips after taking 5 bob from Kip. This is outside the Super Fried Fish Bar . . . . but not the one on Berwick Street.

Annoying passers by as they go, Mick, Ginger, Tim and Kip eat their fish and chips while they walk. Looking westward on Livonia Street off Berwick Street W1.

Taken from a similar position. (PW)

The shadow on the wall shows the direction the lads take. Livonia Street with Portland Mews heading away on the right.

A slight pan to the right. (PW)

After passing Johnny (Joseph Cooke) and his Girl (Karol Hagar) kissing in a back street, the tearaways return and set upon the lovers. Portland Mews, a location that’s also seen in ‘Don't Open till Christmas’.

A more colourful, daylight view. (PW)

Through a window, Ginger notices a man working late. Facing south east on Bourchier Street W1 with the junction of Brewer Street and Wardour Street in the distance.

Wardour Street still stands in the distance. (PW)

Watching Emilio Dinelli (Warren Mitchell) leave his workshop, the four youths enter when he disappears from view. Looking north east on Bourchier Street in Soho, towards Dean Street. Other views of the street appear in 'Secrets of a Door-to-Door Salesman' and 'Last Night in Soho'.

A few altered details in a generally unchanged view. (PW)
