When I first moved to London, I lived in a flat in Covent Garden, in a council flat complex just off Drury Lane. Built by the Westminster Council around 1903, these flats were more recently used as a location for the "Mirrorball" pilot written by Jennifer Saunders, and starring the Ab Fab cast. No further "Mirrorball" episodes were made - instead Saunders wrote the 4th season of Ab Fab.
This angle of the Beaumont Building, and the courtyard at the rear, is used for a scene featuring a conversation between Joanna Lumley's and Jennifer Saunders' characters.
Given my obsession with film locations, and set-jetting, it was coincidental that I lived on a film location site for 9 months!
