The lives of a dysfunctional South London family

This critically acclaimed and hard-hitting drama features a couple of scenes onboard 1972-built tube stock on the Bakerloo Line, plus an additional scene outside Elephant & Castle Underground station, though the entrance is filmed in close up and little is really seen of the station itself.

A busker performs outside the Northern Line ticket hall of the Elephant & Castle. If it wasn’t for the tube map though this could be anywhere.
Sometimes though there are clues. As Charlie Creed-Miles loiters with intent a sign briefly glimpsed on the wall behind him confirms that this is Elephant & Castle.
