Street set building before the filming of Guerrilla

You know how it is, you’re on the way to work and a familiar street changes before your eyes. This little patch of London was transformed over a period of 3 days for 1 day of filming. I was told that it was for the upcoming TV drama Guerrilla starring, amongst others, Idris Elba.

I couldn’t resist photographing the transformation including removal of speed bumps and most of the road markings.

Considering the action takes place in the 1970’s some of the shops were hardly altered, something I found both strangely reassuring and slightly unnerving. Testing equipment for the sound of alarms.
