great pictures, well done. There is nothing like finding locations and then rushing home to watch the films again

Take the DVD with you on a portable DVD player
Then you can get exactly the right position and angle for the "then and now" comparison shots

Excellent photos.

The Globe - this pub was empty and boarded until very recently and was painted red. It's clearly had a face lift for reopening. I think the "Nell of Old Drury" pub, not far away, also featured in Frenzy when the Jon Finch character overhears two gents at the bar talking about the necktie murders.

Chester Terrace (and Cumberland Terrace, just north of it) are distinctive for the huge, ornate arches at either end.

Btw, just got back from my MAIN reason for visiting London this week - the Captain Kronos reunion at the Cine Lumiere in Kensington.

Guests were Lisa Collings, Brian Clemens, Caroline Munro, William Hobbs, Lois Daine, Horst Janson and John Cater. All thoroughly nice people, and very willing to chat.

Along with Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter, Vampire Circus was screened, and Legend of Hammer Vampires, a new documentary by Don Fearney. A good day.

Man, I should have signed up for that but I ummed and ahhed...

Any pix Dave ? Glad it went well.

I went to Memorabilia at the NEC and got in a quick chat with Sally Thomsett about Richard O'Sullivan. She said he's doing OK and she'd love to see him at such events. I sent a message of good wishes from all of us out here in cyber-land for next time she speaks to him...

Ah, well if your photo had included them ...
Or the park they overlook ...

good idea, although my 14 year old boy thinks I am a sad git as it is

Or rip the DVD and put it on an iPod! :)

Obviously, the screen would be tiny, but hey!
