Melody - movie locations

Some of the locations used for the 1971 film "Melody" starring Jack Wild, Mark Lester and Tracey Hyde.

1 St Mary's Church, Battersea (also used in the Michael Caine film "Alfie"). The Chelsea harbour opposite has now been completely redeveloped.

2 Crossing on Battersea Park Road (very near the Dogs' and Cats' Home) where Mrs Latimer turned her car around to follow the teachers' van.

3 The Ship public house on Kennington Road, SE11 where Melody's dad appears to be a regular and where Mrs Latimer dropped Ornshaw off when she gave him a lift home.

4 The horse trough at the junction of Lambeth Road and Kennington Road SE11 where Melody's suntanned goldfish took a swim. The local council has rescued the trough from dereliction and turned it into a flower display.

5 Hercules Road SE11 and the Pineapple public house; this is where Danny and Ornshaw took the bus "up west".

6 Danny's house in Musgrave Gardens, Fulham SW6. The hard football pitch opposite has now been grassed over and the railings that Danny and Ornshaw climbed have been dismantled.

7 Colet Court on Hammersmith Road W14, used for some exterior shots of the school.

The music is "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, used over the closing movie credits ("Don't forget to change at Clapham Junction!")
