The Daily Mirror noted, 17 February 1969, that Marcello Mastroianni, Billie Whitelaw and others had been spotted ‘inspecting locations for the film “Leo the Last”‘ in Notting Hill Gate. On 25 April the Kensington Post added that filming had taken place in ‘the row of slum houses in Testerton Street, off Lancaster Road, which United Artists leased from the Kensington and Chelsea Council and painted black to simulate a slum setting for their current film’ which the company had spent ‘the last five months’ filming. The Derby Daily Telegraph reported, 6 June, that they had found Whitelaw ‘taking a lunch break during a day’s shooting in a church near Paddington Station’ but the church is not named.
