London’s Oldest Hidden Alley The Secret History of Godwin’s Court

Just steps away from the busy Strand lies a narrow alley most Londoners walk past without ever noticing. This is Godwin’s Court — one of the oldest surviving residential courts in central London. Hidden for centuries, this atmospheric passageway has survived the Great Fire of London, Victorian redevelopment, and the modern city growing around it. With its timber-framed buildings, uneven paving stones, and shadowy corners, Godwin’s Court feels frozen in time. Few people realise that this eerie little alley was also used as a filming location for the 1950 film-noir classic Night and the City, chosen for its dark, authentic old-London character.
