Perhaps that\u2019s why Edgar Wright mostly chose locations in northern London for his comedy zombie film <em>Shaun of the Dead<\/em>. The film was mostly shot on location between <strong>Park Royal<\/strong>, <strong>North Finchley<\/strong>, and <strong>Highgate<\/strong>. Though, if you want to see The Winchester Pub from the film, you\u2019ll have to head south to New Cross to find the building on Monson Road, which has been converted to apartments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Grit and drama south of the Thames<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19102\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19102\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-19102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/London-film-locations-beyond-Clockwork-Orange-tunnel-subway.jpg\" alt=\"Image still of the gang walking through the tunnel in A Clockwork Orange.\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/London-film-locations-beyond-Clockwork-Orange-tunnel-subway.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/London-film-locations-beyond-Clockwork-Orange-tunnel-subway-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/London-film-locations-beyond-Clockwork-Orange-tunnel-subway-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/London-film-locations-beyond-Clockwork-Orange-tunnel-subway-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stroll through this Wandsworth subway as made famous by Stanley Kubrick\u2019s A Clockwork Orange.
