Fancy a peek inside Portland Row? On 26th August 2021, I paid a visit to @ealingstudios, where Lockwood’s house had been lovingly created by Marcus Rowland, @sophiehpowell, and the amazing team at @completefictionpictures. It was an incredible feeling, stepping through the front door for the first time. @mrjoecornish was still shooting on location, so Portland Row had not yet been filmed in. It was sitting quietly, just waiting for @rubystokess, @cameronchapman__ and @alihadjiheshmati to drop by and take possession.
The amazing thing for me was how close it was to the house I saw in my head: the accuracy was unbelievable. Here you can see: the front hall, with all the masks and the crystal skull lamp on the table; a peep through into the sitting room, where Lucy will soon have her fateful interview; the view down to the upstairs landing (I am taking the photo from just outside THE MYSTERIOUS LOCKED DOOR); and a nice shot of George’s bedroom, thankfully with no one doing naked yoga. Note the ladder: some parts of the house were still being finished as I went round. It was an incredible feat of design and construction, a testament to the vision of Joe and the film-makers, and an honour to be able to visit it.
