Spaces with Artificial Memory

It turned out to be quite strange to be visiting the 'Artificial Memory' places. Obviously, it depends on the scene of the film that has been filmed here or there. In this case the funny house with a 'flying door' and the one next to it are the ones where the two gangs of Guy Ritchie's 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' had  monstrous gun fight. But strange enough, the place does not have much to it. The atmosphere might have been cleaned out by the busy market next door or the fancy Paul Smith boutique, instead of 'MINICABS' like it is in the movie...

Seems, like I am being drawn toward the tunnels and the sense of fear much more than to 'film spots' with their artificial memory. I think, for the rest of the research that would have to be the spaces with real atmosphere or with a very convincing and believed one.
So London tunnels, here i come!
