The predominant locations for CONSTABLE were in Ealing, West London.

Down my Road to be more precise !

The Police station is in fact now/was Hanwell Library...and they wander up my road a fair bit.

Also scenes in West Ealing at the Train Station (with The Drayton pub in the background), The Royal Mail sorting Office-just down the road and also at some toilets on the Uxbridge Road a few minutes away.

Hope this helps !

thanks filmyfan, because i always thought it was filmed around Battersey.

As FILMYFAN said it was shot in Hanwell at the surrounding areas, the police station was in Cherrington Road Hanwell, the Old Hanwell Library. The scene where they enter the store dressed in drag was shot on the Uxbridge Road, West Ealing, the store being Rowses and was pulled down in the late 70's to make way for more shops. Last time I was there there was a Pizza Hut on the corner. But it's great to look back and see the old place as it was when I had hair.

The public toilets were opposite South Ealing station, South Ealing road. They were demolished about 5 years ago, but the park is still.

No. As far as I know, filmyfan is correct with the location of the public toilets (being in the park on the Uxbridge Road).

In fact, they were still there last time I went by.

Alas, they've been replaced with a modern computerized bog. At the risk of repeating a previous post, see here: Carry On Constable Location Guide

shows a location I remember well! My great-aunts, Mum's father's sisters, lived in the last house in Alacross Road, on the bend, opposite the Coningsby Off-licence, and Mum was born in the next-door house, 1 Coningsby Road. Mum said that her family knew Chalres Hautrey's mother, as presumably they lived in South Ealing? There would have been three great-aunts living there at the time of filming, in a house that gas lamps still, with damp caused by the underground stream running through the back of the house. It is of course now very bijou! We lived in Feltham at the time but used to visit, changing at Brentford by the Gas Works (see HELL DRIVERS) and catching the 65 bus to South Ealing station.

I don't remember a Bedford CA van though!

Shame!

Mind you, it's been a while since I walked past the park on the Uxbridge Road.
