The place today
A Georgian residential square near Angel station. The houses are private, so photograph from the pavement and don’t disturb the residents. The film’s number 12 is a visual effect and doesn’t exist.
Did you know? The grassy “square” is actually a covered reservoir: the New River Company built the first one here in 1709.
