Fleet Street to Bexhill-on-Sea seafront: follow the documented places connected to Children of Men.
The opening bombing tears through a near-future street made recognisable by its newspaper architecture. From there, Battersea Power Station changes the rhythm before Bexhill-on-Sea seafront supplies the final afterimage; doubles, altered sites and public access are labelled at the point they matter.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
