Braybrook Street
Braybrook Street
East Acton, London
Braybrook Street is actually used three times during the van journey, with the sequences cunningly shot at different points along the street and in different directions to hide this fact - however, careful scrutinisation shows where the overlap occurs between sequences 1 and 4!
The photos below are only a sample, highlighting houses which have more uniquely identifiable features.
