Unmarried mother-to-be Leslie Caron (an international star was cast to get the movie off the ground) arrives in London to find herself sharing a bug-ridden boarding house with a pickínímix assortment of sixties social issues.

Although the rundown bedsit ghetto of Notting Hill is now one of the capitalís most fashionable neighbourhoods, you can still recognise theëBrockash Roadí house at 4 St Lukeís Road at Westbourne Park Road, W11.

If you ever wondered about the snippet of Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty which opens The Smiths' album The Queen Is Dead, it's Cicely Courtneidge giving it her all in The L-Shaped Room.
