Some locations in Finding Your Feet are so well known there’s no need to point them out really

Some locations in Finding Your Feet are so well known there’s no need to point them out really. But others will prove a little unexpected.

Imelda Staunton flees her Surrey mansion on learning her husband is having an affair, and heads to her sister’s north London housing estate, which is actually played by the Rodney Estate on Orb Street in Southwark.

FilmFixer manages the film office service for many of the locations used, including those in Southwark, Islington and Camden.

FilmFixer director Karen Everett says, “Imelda Staunton leaves her cosy life in Surrey and heads to her sister Celie Imrie on the Rodney Estate.

“You can see her arrival here in the trailer.

“Locations in the film like the Hampstead Heath bathing ponds are immediately recognisable, featuring joyous scenes of the sisters swimming as well as a sombre funeral wake.

“With the canal in Islington, and cycling sequences on Boris bikes, the film’s definitely captured the London look.

“Timothy Spall plays a love interest, Charlie, living on a canal boat. The scenes shot along the canal towpath and Colebrook Row in Islington were possible through our longstanding relationship with the Canal & River Trust.

“The trailer also shows a glimpse of the four characters walking up Holly Steps in Hampstead and into the The Holly Bush pub.

“In less easy to recognise locations, Joanna Lumley as the many-times married Jackie sits with Imelda Staunton (Sandra) and her sister on a bench in Nursery Row Park, near the Rodney Estate in Southwark.

“On Pancras Road in Camden the sisters huddle from the rain in a bus shelter.
