I grew up in Kew and spent most of my childhood down the river climbing trees going along the bank looking for clay pipes etc the area where Ringo filmed I know well as we used to go a few miles in both directions on our bikes and yes you’re 100% correct they have built the bank up as in the 50’s and 60’s it was prone to flooding at high tides (we lived in a road next to what is now the public records office and about 3 minutes walk from the river and were flooded more than once only a few inches) I remember them doing the work, great video! You’ve got another subscriber!
@@TudorSmithI visited Nassau and Paradise Island in 1984 (I was 21!). The long road edged by palms that the Beatles bicycle down was the entrance road to what was then The Holiday Inn - Paradise Island. It looked like it hadn’t changed a bit in the 20 years since filming.
We just returned from the UK, did Spencer Gibbins Beatles walking tour in London and saw several of the spots you included! So glad you made the video. Also went up to Liverpool and saw the Beatles sights there. Excellent!
You're so welcome. I'm glad I can bring the locations to you through the videos. If nothing else, they allow me to capture the locations for my own benefit and I can re-watch again and again! Can't say much for the commentary though 🤣 Perhaps I should do a compilation video just of the locations!
Hi again! I was a guest on a Beatles Radio show (a local radio ) Wrentham Cable 8 a show called Beatle Banter, I put a plug in for you because we covered A Hard Day's Night and I told the listerers about your video on the film sites. Just wanted to let you know. Take good care
This brings back good memories of my trip to London in 2016 where I also went to Marylebone station and Boston Place to see the filming locations for A Hard Day's Night - I even reenacted George and Ringo's fall in the opening credits! Thanks for this!
An entertaining video, as usual! I guess it's quite hard to find those locations today, since trees have grow up and buildings have been replaced by other buildings sixty years later. Great detective work!
Loving the content Tudor. I had a day out visiting most of these places about 25 years ago. Safe to say, if I had my own RUclips channel, this would be exactly the sort of thing I'd be putting on it.
Good work Tudor. It was a worderful film . To see the Beatles at the Gaumont aged 12 . The girls were all screaming as soon as the chord played at the beginning..😃😃
Another great video, it brought back happy memories of a weekend in London a few years ago. I did a sort of movie location mash up. Hard days night, help, mystery tour, and let it be... i struggled with yellow submarine though !!!. Thank you Tudor, looking forward to the next video. All the best Kev chatterley.
Tudor: thanks for posting. No open field behind the Odeon but empty beer kegs and air conditioners. Another Beatles filming location well done. Cheers! 🥨
Great video……I also worked for BT at the BT Tower from 1977 to 1987 so I got to know that area very well…..handy for lunchtime walks to Denmark Street.
@@TudorSmith I haven't been for about 5 years. After the construction of the new Tottenham Court Road station it got a bit bad....but I think it has improved. Back in the day I used to do a bit of moonlighting in Andy's Guitar shop doing a few guitar mods when Andy was busy. Hope you have tried 0% Guinness now and liked it!!
@@TudorSmith of course! I might be the craziest Beatles fan in the universe and I'm planning visiting England. Also I've watched the Stawberry Fields` tree one, your videos are great entertaining, Thanks!
They filmed at Marylebone Station for two days in April of ‘64. It’s also where they hop on to the carriage carrying newspapers in front of a cafe which is now a Starbucks. I believe all the other stuff like Paul sitting next to Wilfrid Brambell is past the ticket scanners. March 2nd is when filming commenced and the Beatles left from Paddington station to film the train scenes. No filming took place there.
So enjoy your beatles locations, Tudor. Your superb videos are always very informative and interesting. It's great to see how these locations look today when compared with the original images. I think this calls for a follow up for the Help! scenes filmed around London but I know some of it was done in the bahamas. Oh well, perhaps a good destination for a future holiday, Tudor, but don't forget to take your camera - just joking, seriously though, thank you for taking the time to make these videos they are so appreciated.
I’ve just discovered your channel and I’ll be watching all of your Beatles walkabouts! A great watch with interesting information and the cut-in scenes.
There's a location that never was in the end, in Shepherd's Bush. During trying to find Ringo, Paul turns up at The Bush pub and meets Isla Blair in the dance studio above the pub. It's on the corner of the Green and Goldhawk Rd and Goldhawk side of it is what was filmed, then later cut and Paul having his own scene went with it! Today it's the Sindercombe Social bar and restaurant.
Oh that’s interesting. John has those scenes in the back of the theatre. Ringo he all of his solo scenes. I’d seen an interview with the writer who said they added the scenes for George at the fashion studio because they had nothing for him. So had they kept the Shepherd’s Bush scenes in then Paul would have had some too!
For 5 years I worked in a building at Gatwick called City Place. It’s one stop south on the number 10 bus from Gatwick airport. My building was built on the very site where the Beatles run around while being filmed from a helicopter to Can’t Buy Me Love. It was great to know everyday I was on the very site. Also this was where the helicopter took off at the end. Some of the footage was mixed in with a different field and they placed large blocks in the field to make it look like the field at Gatwick…..The building is now owned by Nescafé. So you could visit City Place if you fancy it. Also there is an old building called the Beehive which is where the Beatles changed clothes.
Wonderful bit of info/knowledge. Thanks for sharing that. I'll have to check out City Palace. It almost begs the question that I should drop a community comment before shooting my next Beatles locations video, just to get other peoples knowledge and thoughts to get a clearer understanding of some of these areas 👍
@@TudorSmith That should be Nestle hq not Nescafé! Lol. Yes, great idea. I think you and I have a lot in common in Beatles locations etc....and obviously guitar and bands.
Tudor, your Beatles locations videos are a beautiful gift to those of us across the pond and elsewhere. Your videos are always so well done and thorough not to mention immensely enjoyable and fascinating! Thank you so much and please keep them coming!
It looks like somebody lowered the front door and removed some steps from the outside of the police station. If one looks closely at the front door in the overlay, the top of the door frame is level with the top of the windows on each side, but in the recent view, it’s no longer even with the windows which also means that some of the higher steps were removed to access the current door. Great video. 👍🏻
Yeah that’s why I questioned it. That being said a commenter informed us that 83 Clarened was the correct location but that the original building was demolished and rebuilt. Now I know why the steps and windows don’t match 👍
I was so looking forward to this and, worry not Tudor, you did not disappoint! Thanks for including so many small but oh-so-important details such as the lady in the barbershop window at Charlotte Place and the 'phone booths now in Marks & Sparks. Making this must have taken you absolutely ages and you deserve hearty thanks for putting that time in. I turned nine in 1964 and it was a different world then; some things better and many worse despite what folk say, but we DID have The Beatles😀.
Thanks for these more recent views. Ringo doing his Sir Walter Raleigh act--Edgehill Rd is in W13; Ealing rather than W11 though Hammersmith does pop up in one scene--running into a dead end road. The young lad with the tyre and Ringo in more recent years was the postman in the TV series Keeping Up Appearances.
@@TudorSmith found the dead end road but now is an area between blocks of flats. It’s just as Hippodrome Mews joins Portland Rd. W11. Moments away on the left is a parking area for the flats. That’s it which was formerly a road. What3Words value.head.unwanted gets you next to today’s car park formerly known as Heathfield St. Paul
Hi Tudor. Thank you. Such a great video, and the overlays are brilliant. It was the hard days night album that first got me into the Beatles. Please do more of these!
I love your vlogs. Yep, Ringo putting his coat over the giant hole where the woman fell out of sight is still one of the funniest gags I've ever seen. Great stuff
That was fun ! Thank you for taking the time to visit those sites. I was fortunate to visit most of those sites through a tour group in 2013. In fact they did film at the Turks Pub and they had the dart board at one time but when we got there it is was taken down.. At Boston Place, Magic Alex actually had a place there. And at the tow path I was actually skimming down the rocks like Charlie did (no grass was there then) and was skipping stones like Charlie and his mates did. Nice job Tudor ! Be well, Howard
It's good to know they actually did the filming in the pub! Maybe the moss/grass that had grown on the slopes of the Putney Tow Path made it look different to me but I was convinced I was in the correct location 👍
@@TudorSmith hey Tudor i grew up in England for 10 yrs my late Dad in US Air Force for 40 yrs , Mom Dad married there we have do many family there we go every 2 yrs Dad kept changing Air Bases so we stay longer near family 🙂 we always ride train Paddington Station down to Margate our family is , Same type trains cabins I.

Very interesting video Tudor, you must have put in alot of effort. Your approach to presenting feels like a personal guided tour and the film overlays make it all the more compelling. Bad luck about the police station - it looked close. When are you going to cover Help? (only joking). Cheers
Thanks! I was in the right location for the police station I’ve been informed. It’s just that the original building was demolished and rebuilt. I didn’t know that! Help! I’ve actually been thinking about that. There are numerous locations in London and around the Home Counties I can cover. I might have difficulty doing the Bahamas or Austria unless I do some crowd funding thing 🤣
I think the AHDN staircase at the Apollo is right around the back, not the side one. You can actually view it on Google street view. Enjoyed the video - thanks
Great job as always with the Beatle locations. Regarding the Police Station, you had the correct address, but the building in 1964(St John’s Secondary School) was demolished(like so much else....), which is why the building there now looks different.
Thanks for another interesting video. Are you aware of the very useful book by Mark Lewisohn and two others called The Beatles' London: A Guide to 467 Beatles Sites? It was published in 2008 and covers the sites you visited.
Yep it’s a joy to watch. Seeing those songs performed live brings new depth to the album - especially when you consider the Beatles never performed them live! I often wonder if Ringo and Paul have ever seen it!
Be great to have seen an ‘anchor’ from the 60’s to present day from the playing fields location? One of the taller buildings in the background looks fairly new in the film so presumably still there?
I remember well my older sister being forced to take me to our local Gaumont Cinema to see this. We waited outside for ages but the excitement was amazing. Always wanted John Lennon style glasses but unfortunately it never happened 😂 Great to see this 👍
There were only a few buildings that had been demolished and something new built in their place - otherwise I was pleased to see that not much has changed 👍
I think you’re right. I’ve always knowing it as the Hammersmith Odeon - although I did see Chris Rea there - it was the Hammersmith Apollo then. I’m pretty sure those comedy shows “Live at the Apollo” are performed there 👍
I love the Beatles and the film and found this really interesting. I wonder how many people live or work in these locations and have no idea that HDN was filmed there? One small point re additional trivia - and i only recently found this out myself - is that John Lennon was missing for the running, jumping scene. More details here ruclips.net/video/AyJr4kKlw40/видео.html . Thanks for your hard work Tudor.
It is Boston Place that building was taken down many years ago. But its definitely correct. No telephone boxes was used to show Paddington St. The actress is Anna Quail And while talking there's a stage assistant carrying a Double Bass. The amount of people say that it's Mal Evans. It's definitely NOT. I can assure Lancaster Road area wasn't definitely a DIVE. I was brought up around that area The Little Lad eventually stared in the TV show Please Sir. W10 isn't out of London Apart from these. A good review Well Done.
I'm not sure "the Little Lad (David Jansen) eventually stared in the TV show Please Sir." He was in another sitcom called Get Some In, with Robert Lindsay.
I know what the traffic problem was . You were all driving on the wrong side of the road. Looks like to me a Yankee. Anyway I loved AHDN it’s really cool looking at the film locations. Thank you.
🤣 You're probably right! I did read later on that there was a report of a pedestrian strolling along the central reservation who was known to the police and was later apprehended and taken to a secure facility - for their own safety!!!
As the years go by this movie gets better and better. Great to revisit where it was filmed. Thanks Tudor!
Brilliant research Tudor. Thank for putting together another intriguing Beatles location video… super…
Glad you enjoyed it

I think the AHDN staircase at the Apollo is right around the back, not the side one. You can actually view it on Google street view.

Yes that’s correct. I couldn’t access the back and you wouldn’t be able to see it from the side gate where I was stood.

Great job as always with the Beatle locations. Regarding the Police Station, you had the correct address, but the building in 1964(St John’s Secondary School) was demolished(like so much else....), which is why the building there now looks different.
I didn’t find out about 83 being demolished. That makes sense now. Thanks for the update 👍
Thanks for another interesting video. Are you aware of the very useful book by Mark Lewisohn and two others called The Beatles' London: A Guide to 467 Beatles Sites? It was published in 2008 and covers the sites you visited.
Oh I'm not aware of that book. I'll have to check it out. Perhaps it will reveal some other locations I can visit 👍
Quick question. Have you watched on RUclips, The Analogues concert where they perform the White Album in its entirety.........????
I have and it’s brilliant along with their other covers of Abbey Road and Sgt Peppers. They are a talent bunch!
I've seen it five or six times down thru the years.........the attention to detail is staggering !!!!👍👍👍
Yep it’s a joy to watch. Seeing those songs performed live brings new depth to the album - especially when you consider the Beatles never performed them live! I often wonder if Ringo and Paul have ever seen it!
Be great to have seen an ‘anchor’ from the 60’s to present day from the playing fields location? One of the taller buildings in the background looks fairly new in the film so presumably still there?

Enjoyed the other overlays tho!
I remember well my older sister being forced to take me to our local Gaumont Cinema to see this. We waited outside for ages but the excitement was amazing. Always wanted John Lennon style glasses but unfortunately it never happened 😂 Great to see this 👍
🤓 maybe it’s not too late? You could get glasses frames with no lenses in 👍
The field location is not Gatwick it was filmed in hounslow down the road from Kew.
I had read that some footage was recorded at Gatwick. @hammerman48 in his comment below shares some information on that too.
The Edgehill Road scene is in London W13 not W11. I know that because I only live round the corner from there 😅
That’s fair enough. I might have been tired after a hard days filming 🙏
Não vejo assim tantas diferenças 😅 se fosse em Lisboa era mais difícil de fazer esse vídeo 😅
There were only a few buildings that had been demolished and something new built in their place - otherwise I was pleased to see that not much has changed 👍
Wasn’t it called The Hammersmith Odeon not Apollo back then.
I think you’re right. I’ve always knowing it as the Hammersmith Odeon - although I did see Chris Rea there - it was the Hammersmith Apollo then. I’m pretty sure those comedy shows “Live at the Apollo” are performed there 👍

Good news! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Happy Birthday today (April 8) to Julian Lennon.
I love the Beatles and the film and found this really interesting. I wonder how many people live or work in these locations and have no idea that HDN was filmed there? One small point re additional trivia - and i only recently found this out myself - is that John Lennon was missing for the running, jumping scene. More details here ruclips.net/video/AyJr4kKlw40/видео.html . Thanks for your hard work Tudor.
I’ll bet hardly anyone would know - unless they were fans of course! I’ll check out that link you shared 👍
It is Boston Place that building was taken down many years ago. But its definitely correct.
No telephone boxes was used to show Paddington St.
The actress is Anna Quail
And while talking there's a stage assistant carrying a Double Bass. The amount of people say that it's Mal Evans. It's definitely NOT.
I can assure Lancaster Road area wasn't definitely a DIVE.
I was brought up around that area
The Little Lad eventually stared in the TV show Please Sir.
W10 isn't out of London
Apart from these. A good review
Well Done.
Thanks for the updates. I’m sure Lancaster Road wasn’t a dive back in the day. Production probably dressed the set to suit their needs.
@@TudorSmith no they did look rough but at the time. We didn't know different. The whole area is beautiful today. Thanks to Portobello Road
I'm not sure "the Little Lad (David Jansen) eventually stared in the TV show Please Sir."
He was in another sitcom called Get Some In, with Robert Lindsay.
The policeman was played by Roger Avon who played a policeman in dozens of films and TV shows.
That’s a cool bit of trivia 👍
I love these tiny bits of detail - thanks for sharing!
I know what the traffic problem was . You were all driving on the wrong side of the road. Looks like to me a Yankee. Anyway I loved AHDN it’s really cool looking at the film locations. Thank you.
🤣 You're probably right! I did read later on that there was a report of a pedestrian strolling along the central reservation who was known to the police and was later apprehended and taken to a secure facility - for their own safety!!!
I once worked as tennis coach at a girl's sixth-form residential college. Fifty quid a week. Not much, but it was all I could afford 🙄
I’m confused. Are you suggesting you paid to be the coach? 🤣
