36 Emperor's Gate, Gloucester Road, SW7

Between her first husband and slick advertising exec Laurence Harvey, Diana Scott (Julie Christie) sets up home in a first floor flat here with TV reporter Robert Gold (Dirk Bogarde) in John Schlesinger’s Darling. Chances are, if you can get a furnished flat here today, it won't come with a stopped clock and a framed print of a clown with cracked glass.

Trivia: How swinging was this neighbourhood? John Lennon lived with his wife Cynthia in a flat at number 13 Emperor’s Gate (since demolished) during the early Sixties.
