Marion's house

I thought Lambeth, too.
It's not the only place with those very old square boxy dark brick places, but they clearly want people to know the Shard can be seen. So that does limit the locations being hinted at.
There are another few streets I've walked down as a kind of back way to the National Theatre from Waterloo. You come out a kind of smaller back door from Waterloo to the street, cross over, go straight down a short side street then left under a kind of creepy brick rail underpass.
You come out on the other side in a few streets of an enclave of tiny brick ancient terraced homes. Very small homes. All these years I've never bothered to look at the street names, but Marion's house design isn't far off from those either. Those streets might be too narrrow though to match Marion's.
Thing is, I've always marveled they survived the bombings given their location. Makes me wonder if those homes like that were a huge neighborhood around there pre WWII but were reduced to that smallish few streets after the war. -

I noticed the lack of parking restrictions on that road, which made me wonder whether it is indeed in central/SE London.
If it is, it would be worth a lot of money now and out of the league of a joiner/nurse combo (but was probably picked up quite cheaply in the mid 1990s). -

Her sister lived in Trinity Square which is also in SE1 but closer to London Bridge. It's a beautiful place - the houses there are probably amazing inside and a fraction of the price of their equivalents in places like Notting Hill.
