The footage is shot at various London locations. These include;
At 01:42, Gibson Square.
At 04:09, Barnsbury Street.
At 05:22 we see the plaque on the former residence of George Orwell at Canonbury Square.
At 05:51 we see the plaque for Samuel Phelps, again at Canonbury Square.
The appearance of an M-registered taxi at 07:10 means the footage can have been shot no earlier than August 1973.
