Wapping streets with walkways overhead linking warehouses are, with the counterparts across the river in Bermondsey, a recurrent location. Few of those walkways have survived gentrification, and it is all the more difficult to be sure which street we are seeing. Here is a selection - work still needs to be done on identification (suggestions here, please) :
Pool of London (Basil Dearden 1951)
The Alf Garnett Saga (Bob Kellett 1972)
St John's Wharf, E.1 - The Long Good Friday (John Mackenzie 1980)
Gun Wharves, E.1 - The Elephant Man (David Lynch 1980)
Shad Thames, S.E.1 - Before the Rain (Milcho Manchevski 1994)
Here is one of Jonathan Barker's wonderful photographs of London c. 1973 (see here for more):
