Newman Passage
Not what you’d want to run into down a dark alley

It may be full of TV execs with directional haircuts by day, but this part of Fitzrovia can be a lonely place at night. Director Michael Powell knew this all too well, and set much of his 1960 classic Peeping Tom around here. At the beginning of the film, Carl Boehm’s serial killer approaches a prostitute in this narrow passageway before following her through a door into the adjacent pub. Cue grainy hand-held camera footage, a terrified facial expression and the film’s opening credits.

I know some folk who work here, and it gives me a buzz every time I go there. Great mini-pub just at the East end, and that balcony is cheeky heaven in the summer!
Hidden Treasure
I love this passage, I work just yards from it, but I always give up when someone walks towards me and seem to have to walk on the cobbles in my heals! Not good.
