Resurrection of the Daleks - Locations

All location work for Resurrection was carried out around Shad Thames, and area of warehouses for shipping from the Thames.  By the 1980s it was disused and derelict, many programmes have filmed here including the Callan film (1984) which I saw just last week.  Resurrection filmed around several streets connected by just a walk of minutes, which have since seen extensive redevelopment in recent decades.

The Tardis arrives on the edge of the wharf nearest Tower Bridge making the location immediately recognisable.




We pan left to see the Tardis arrive.



The crew leave the Tardis and walk down the passage on the left.





This passage is seen from the other side a few times during the story as characters are chased down it.





The main street behind is very distinctive with the metal walkways and is viewed from many angles but the walkways themselves are distinctive though working out the exact positioning is a little tricky.





One of the most spectacular shots being the Dalek pushed into the street!





Another street joining this is where the Colonel tries to make a phone all but is killed by Lytton’s policemen.





The end of the main street is seen at the end of the story when Lytton and henchmen calmly walk away, later to appear in Attack of the Cybermen.







As I sign off from life in London, it was a nice walk around to see a notable location one last time!
