K-On - Earl's Court

Several places around Earl's Court and West Kensington can be seen in the K-On movie, so here's some pictures.

These houses are located along Talgarth Road.

This is a pub called Famous 3 Kings near the cross of Talgarth Road and North End Road. You can see the street signs that are the same outside the pub.

Further down North End Road near where it crosses Lillie Road you can find this location. Most of the shops are different now, but if you look closely you can see that Ayubi Carpets is still there, although with a different sign.

If you continue down North End Road you'll get to the North End Road Market.

Back at Lillie Road looking towards the crossing with North End Road. There's a bus stop behind the mailbox here which is North End Road West Kensington (Stop BC).

This is Hotel ibis London Earl's Court where the girls stay in the movie.

I didn't stay here, but I checked out the hotel lobby.




Image from K-On movie - 73m52s


The lobby is still the same.

Reverse view.

On the right here is the elevator area. The lobby is through the doors in the front of the picture.

Outside West Brompton Station which was under renovations.




Image from K-On movie - 68m22s


Continuing post the station you'll get to Brompton Cemetery. This is looking back towards the station, and if you look closely in the picture you can see the top of Hotel ibis London Earl's Court.

Yui looking inside the cemetery.

Opposite West Brompton Station looking towards Brompton Cemetery.

Azusa waving at Yui outside the cemetery.

Yui spots Azusa and runs towards her.

Before she slips and fall.




Image from K-On movie - 64m06s


This is at the cross at Old Brompton Road and Warwick Road at the northeast corner of Brompton Cemetery.




Image from K-On movie - 59m42s


The cross at Old Brompton Road and Earl's Court Road.

The pub in the background here has changed names from O'Neill's to The Bolton.




Image from K-On movie - 59m45s


The girls running across the road in front of The Bolton. I've marked a path from the houses at Talgarth Road via Hotel ibis London Earl's Court to The Bolton in the map below.

K-On - Hyde Park

In the K-On movie you can see London's Hyde Park, so I went to take a look.



Image from K-On movie - 60m13s


I actually managed to find this exact tree in the park where they see a squirrel.




I also got a picture of a squirrel next to the root to the right in the previous picture.




Image from K-On movie - 60m14s


The reverse angle by the tree doesn't seem to match though.




Image from K-On movie - 60m15s


This is at The Serpentine lake in Hyde Park next to Serpentine Bar & Kitchen.




Lots of birds around here, just like in the movie.




Image from K-On movie - 60m19s


This is the location of the dog waste bin where Yui gets her hand stuck. There's no bin here in real life though.




I did see one of these bins when I checked out Hampstead Heath earlier, but I couldn't find one in Hyde Park.




Image from K-On movie - 60m24s


There's more leaves on the trees, but if you look closely you can see the same buildings in the background here.




Image from K-On movie - 60m28s


Woman coming to throw dog waste in the bin.




Image from K-On movie - 60m29s


And her dog.




The tree with the squirrel is actually right next to here. It's the tree here on the right.




Image from K-On movie - 60m40s


Everybody runs away from Yui. This is actually slightly further into the park, so I've marked a path from the location of the bin in the movie to this place in the map below.
