David Hemmings spots Vanessa Redgrave here at 151 Regent Street near the end of Antonioni's Blowup. It's a great bit of editing as she just vanishes into the crowd.
Useless trivia: The Permutit Company Limited manufactured water softeners and other water treatment products and is now, I believe, part of Siemens Water Technologies.

In Antonioni's Blowup, David Hemmings photographs the two lovers (and accidentally a murder) here in Maryon Park.
Maryon Park is also the location of the tennis courts where the mimes play imaginary tennis at the end of the movie. The mimes are raucous and rowdy while in the jeep and are only creepy and mime-like once the mime tennis match starts. FYI this movie is better while on drugs.
