1964 / SCREEN & CITY
St Paul’s Cathedral to Regent’s Park: follow the documented places connected to Mary Poppins.
The cathedral steps are inseparable from Feed the Birds, even though the film’s London was largely studio-built. From there, Royal Exchange changes the rhythm before Regent’s Park 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.
