Photos of Stanley Kubrick's film locations by
Neil Hall. 
A fear of flying (despite having a pilot’s license) and a dislike of the Hollywood system meant that whether his films were set in South East Asia, North America or the future, Kubrick made do with locations only a short distance from his adopted home of St Albans, in Hertfordshire. Famously, for example, Beckton in East London doubled for Hue in Vietnam for Full Metal Jacket. Equally fascinating is his choice of 1970s London architecture, which was transformed into the setting for a dystopian nightmare in A Clockwork Orange. His choices enabled him to turn the mundane into the sublime -a collection of disparate corners of Britain united by one filmmaker’s vision.
