That'd be this one I posted on back in 2008, I think.
Oh yes, nice link!
yes! saw this last night - half of it is set on wightman or along the harringay station bridge. Very odd to see it on the big screen. There's loads of scenes around Finsbury Park station too.
I want to see this, sounds good. I wonder if it will bring people flocking to the Shelton (poor lambs...)
I saw it on Tuesday at the Rio, Dalston, (you can take babies in under one years of age during the day tues/thurs) it captures that North London shabbiness with nice shots of harringay and a bit of Green Lanes.

I've just had this movie out of the library. It's really good and a moving story about the aftermath of the 7/7 bombing, but I found myself getting a bit mesmerised by the Harringay locations. There're lots of shots of the characters crossing the station footbridge between the Shelton Hotel and, in typical film fashion, Blackstock Road, which appears to be on the other side. And a long sequence supposedly seen out of a police car window that takes us up Green Lanes, then suddenly we are under the Finsbury Park railway bridge. All good stuff and definitely worth seeing for itself, not just the locations.

This film is now on the BBC iplayer. Worth a look.

Thanks for the tip, Jospehine.
