Bolton Ave, Windsor for the film and I would assume the same address for the series.

Pretty sure the tv series wasn't filmed in Windsor.
I'd say the house exteriors, when seen, wouldn't be too far from the Thames studios in Teddington.

I agree, long way from the studio sets. Although, I have not seen the series for years and I can't recall how often the house exteriors were used. They may only have had to film them once. They definitely shot the film at Bolton Avenue, Windsor. We need a definitive on the series location.

For the film version there was a fair amount of location work in Taplow, Bucks. Sid James and Peter Butterworth have a drink sitting outside The Five Bells pub in Taplow, the church and wedding scenes were filmed at St Peters church also in Taplow. The film crew seemed to move around a bit for the big screen version as some scenes look like they were filmed in London. Not sure as to the location of Sid's house though.

I know that the pub that Sid and his neighbour used to drink at was the Hare & Hound, Clapham Common {Hampstead Heath...cant remember...] or somewhere such like.
As for the film, some locations were studio-bound sets mixed with locations.

The Fizzo Cola site at East Berkshire College was levelled late last year as the college has been redeveloped. That part of the campus is now a car park...
