Pool of London: in search of the locations for the classic British noir

Pool of London: in search of the locations for the classic British noir Filmed in the capital’s busy docklands, British noir Pool of London pushed the envelope in depicting an interracial romance on screen. Seventy years later, we went looking for the riverside locations. 27 April 2021 Pool of London (1951) © BFI National Archive One of the key British films of the 1950s, Pool of London was far out ahead of the crowd in tackling racial issues on screen. This classic dockside noir was directed by Basil Dearden. During the 1940s, he’d made some of Ealing Studios’ darkest and most innovative features, including sections of the classic anthology horror Dead of Night (1945). Pool of London indicated his later turn towards more political subjects, whether disenfranchised working-class youth in Violent Playground (1958), homosexuality in Victim (1961) or racism in Sapphire (1959).
