Finsbury Park in the movies
Just read a review of new film London River, starring Brenda Blethyn and Sotigui Kouyate - it says it's set around 'the multicultural Finsbury Park/Haringey area, all halal butchers and ad hoc international exchange shops'. Anyone seen this and been location spotting?

It's not had much publicity had it? Completely passed me by until I saw this thread. Been out since July 9, and still on at a few places in town.
The flat where a lot of the action takes place is above the Al Baraka butchers and Sunderban restaurant, next door to the college and library in Blackstock Road. Of course they scan around the college building itself: far to smart for the area they want to portray! the laundry is just a few shops along.
I remember them filming it: it was June/July 2009. They told me it was a french film about a woman who comes searching for her missing daughter, which at least part of the story.
The film's pretty harrowing: set in the aftermath of the London bombings.
I'd recommend seeing it, and if its still on in the Apollo just down from Piccadilly Circus then that was very nice.
