According to Alan Foster's book THE MOVIE TRAVELLER, the cafe that was smashed up in QUADROPHENIA was at the corner of Kings Road and Ship Street in Brighton and is now a chip shop. The cafe where the Mods had breakfast was The Waterfront Cafe on Madeira Drive

There is a fascinating book called "Your Face Here" (Fourth Estate 2002) -the stories and locations of British cult films since the sixties. Quadrophenia is one of the films featured and the book contains all the locations featured in the film. Is states that "Alfredo's Cafe" is on Essex Road, Islington, London.

In the Summer there is a Quadrophenia locations tour around Brighton. The tourist office should have details.

Alfredos was a great cafe, with stunning art deco furniture. It is/was on London's Essex Road (no. 4-6) at the junction with Islington Green, in Islington. It was closed down a few years ago, but has been re-opened as a restaurant and even has a sign saying it is the location of the old Alfredos. It can also be seen in the movie Mojo.

Villan,

I saw Quadrophenia in high school and am wondering where Jimmy rode his scooter to at the end. Was it Beachy Head?

It was Beachy Head. A notorious suicide spot to this day.

Hi Alfarin,
According to Ali Catterall & Simon Wells excellent book "YOUR FACE HERE", 'Jimmy's Alley' is at Little East Street in the backyard of a Chinese Restaurant.

cheers,
Chas.

According to Gary Wharton's "Chasing the Wind: A Quadrophenia Anthology", the Cooper house was in Wells Home Road, Acton and the party took place in Kitchener Road (however, the entry mentions that there are several Kitchener Roads in the London A-Z!) with interior shots filmed at Lees Studio in Wembley.
