London Undeground film/TV locations
 
Just done an update of my web-page on the Underground in Films & TV,
but there are a couple of queries as to locations used:

'Seven Days to Noon' [1950 feature film]

http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...ilmtv/7dtn.htm

Clearly Trafalgar Square (Bakerloo) to begin with, but can anyone ID
the exit station at the end? The penultimate screengrab is the start
of a right-to-left tracking shot, following the actor walking across
the front of the station, and then turning right down the slope/alley.

Harry's Game [1982 ITV/Yorkshire TV]

http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...lmtv/hgame.htm

Can anyone confirm if it is actually Watford at the end? Quality of
screengrabs a bit dreary - could only obtain a very old VHS
sell-through.

As per past debate, I've been supplied with a much better copy of the
production still taken on the Bank Central platform for 'The Passionate
Friends':

Might actually get round to doing some more tonight. Maybe....

'Seven Days to Noon': the unknown station looks vaguely like Bow Road.

'Harry's Game': Yes, that's definitely Watford.

Managed to find a picture of Bow Road, but while there are
similarities, the building in the film is much wider, and the
arrangement of doors/windows quite different.

Just worked out that the Bakerloo/Watford error will be down to the
fact that the original book was written in 1975, but the Bakerloo
service was withdrawn between then and the TV version being made.

True.

Thinking about it more, perhaps it is Upton Park. The building looks
similar to many of the LTSR station buildings east of Campbell
Junction, where the District Line joins the LTS line.
