And Grange Hill. One series it's in East London, the next it's in

'Grange Hill' was in north London, not east. I think the precise location
was supposed to be somewhere in the Islington/Harringay area. Indeed, I
remember in a early episode a class were taken for a walk along the trackbed
of the Finsbury Park - Highgate line. The latest series is filmed 'up north'
alongside Hollyoaks and Brookside, but is not officially set in any
particular city, as evidenced by the variety of accents on display.

Of course the 'real' Grange Hill, on the Central Line, isn't in east London
either, but in the Epping Forest district of Essex county.
