Where was the scene "Who Will Buy?" shot? I love the location, and want some pictures of it, but I don't know how to look for it!!! Many thanks in advance!
"The ‘London’ streets – yes, even the steam railway – were built on soundstages at Shepperton Studios, Shepperton in Middlesex. Despite what you may read, the crescent used for ‘Who Will Buy?’ can't be found in London, nor is it the Royal Crescent, Bath. It was built from scratch, from designs by by Production Designer John Box, on the Shepperton backlot."
Besides the Royal Crescent in Bath, Bloomsbury in London looks somewhat like the set location.
"If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having."
Henry Miller
Although it would appear in this case that the street is a set, there are a great many similar crescents and circles around the UK. They are usually found in eighteenth century Georgian spa towns such as Bath, Buxton, and Harrogate but there are also good examples in Edinburgh and London as well. Many are now cluttered up with street signs, modern lighting columns and cars ofcourse, so if want good photographs you need to be there early on a Summer morning!
JulianHookBucks, the washerwomen on the second floor exit through doors that are barely above their heads. The second floors are a few feet shorter than real life. The THIRD floors appear to be about five feet high. That's okay if Bob Hoskins is living there, but otherwise, it would be "Inside John Malkovitch" time. It reminded me of Main Street in Disneyland.
