The journey of five tea-drinking girls to London - "Theatrical Version of Light Music Girls" Holy Land Tour

While studying in the UK, I naturally couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the holy land of “The Movie: Light Music Girl”. So taking advantage of the long Christmas vacation, the author finally got his wish and went to London for a tour in December 2014. Because a lot of work has been done in the past month, the tour locations have been marked on Google Maps. Here are the screenshots for reference by interested friends. Due to the arrangement of the itinerary, a small number of scenic spots could not be found, so please bear with me.

I won’t introduce much about the city of London here. I believe everyone is already very familiar with London’s famous attractions. In this article, the author will also give some suggestions for the convenience of interested friends.

Let’s get to the point.

The trip to London in the theatrical version starts at 40 minutes into the film and ends at about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The whole part takes roughly 45 minutes. Here, the author will also introduce the scenes that appeared in the animation in the order of the animation.

It started with the immigration scene at Heathrow Airport.

The author would like to remind you that a health certificate is required for visas with a validity period of more than 6 months. Generally, a health certificate is not required for short-term travel. Customs officers usually ask about family circumstances, which is very simple.

The first stop after the girls left customs was this Ibis hotel. This is very far from the city center. On that Google map is point S, which is the point on the far right.

Near Ibis is Aldgate Underground Station, which is the station they passed through in the picture below. Then in order to go to the sushi restaurant, they got off the train at Kenton Market Station (numbered N on the map). In fact, according to the subway route, they should have changed trains at Euston, London. Euston Station is one of the larger railway stations in London and an important subway transfer station.

Coming out of Kenton Station, you can quickly find the prototype of the sushi restaurant at the 50-minute mark in the play. Because in reality, this sushi restaurant is actually a nightclub. The author didn't have the guts to go in. It's terrible for British people to drink.

The next step is the highlight. At the 57th minute of the animation, after completing the performance at the sushi restaurant, the group finally arrived at the London ibis Earls Court store in Lillie RD (located in the west of downtown London, map number C). The author had booked this store in advance one month before the trip. A hotel room, but unfortunately, we could not book the room where Daiwei and the others stayed.

Room 417 where Daiwei and the others live. Although the photos of the interior of the guest room have been lost, all the facilities in the guest room have been very modern due to subsequent renovations. It's completely different from the scene described in the animation.

After a night's rest, the official schedule begins at the 60-minute mark in the animation.

The first one was the train station they passed. In fact, it is a very small train station 50 meters away from Ibis and turn right.

The following scenes are relatively close together. The ones in the picture below are actually near Ibis (map number E). After coming out of the hotel, you can see it by walking basically in a straight line.

▲This wall clock is actually next to the tea shop

(The weather was really, really good during the two days I went to London, and it didn’t rain!)

Theater The copyright painting is based on the scene of this tea shop.

This copyrighted poster can still be seen outside the tea shop.

After visiting this section, there is a long way to go (Map E → F). Starting from the tea shop, we basically follow a straight line all the way. It takes about 30-40 minutes to reach the next pilgrimage location at the end of Park Walk Road. Several locations can also be seen along this stretch. The promotional poster for the Qingyin Theater version was also shot here.

Next is the famous Sherlock Holmes House at 221 Baker Street (although you can visit it, but the author does not recommend it because it is not interesting). By the way, the distance between Baker Street and Hyde Park Park Walk is It’s very far. To get to Sherlock Holmes’ former residence from Park Walk, you must remember to take the subway at the subway station near Hyde Park.

There is a small episode here, 1 hour and 58 seconds into the play. A scene of a group of people on the subway. In fact, London's subway is very old, very short, and very noisy. This scene is obviously embellished in the play.

Then, it’s time to see the “Tombstone” of the Law Team in the British Museum. This replica was presented to the British Museum by King George III. The real thing is in Exhibition Hall 4 on the ground floor. You can see it as soon as you enter, but taking pictures is not allowed.

The next long shot is of the exit of Temple Underground Station next to the Thames River.

Next, the group only needs to walk southwest along the river to reach the London Eye.

Here, the author would like to remind you that when crossing Westminster Bridge, do not talk to any strangers, and do not accept flowers or items from anyone. On the bridge, there are many gypsy women forcing flowers on passers-by (especially passers-by with Asian faces) and then asking for money. And the amount required is extremely large (don’t ask me why I know this, it’s a lesson learned in blood).

Photos of the London Eye from two directions. But the author was very unfortunate and did not board the London Eye when there were so many people. So in order to make up for this regret, the author specially bought an ice cream to treat myself.

Borough Market, located 1 hour and 2 minutes into the play, is located next to Tower Bridge in London. There are a lot of delicious food. Foodies must not miss it. The author walked around 6 or 7 times but still couldn't find the pillar where they were eating. It is estimated that it was renovated later or the animation was processed.

▲The cheese seller still sets up a stall here

This concludes the girls’ first day of travel.

At 1 hour and 8 minutes into the film, the story of the second day begins

The Westminster Cemetery is located near the hotel. In other words, when Dai Wei grabbed the railing and looked inside, she was actually looking at the cemetery. However, even though it is a cemetery, the scenery is also very peaceful. It rained at that time, but the scenery was still very good.

On the second day, the girls’ first stop was the musical instrument store on Denmark Street, located next to the British Museum. This street is mainly about musical instruments. In fact, there is a Korean food street right next to this street. If you happen to have a meal, you can try it (if you don’t dislike kimchi).

After Denmark Street ends, there is a series of shots starting at 1 hour and 9 minutes.

▲The Prison Museum located under the London Bridge

▲The Tower of London Castle. The place where Daiwei and the others sat down to rest

After finishing this journey, the girls’ journey is coming to an end.

After nightfall, the girls went to a supermarket to buy food. This was actually a commercial street next to Earl’s Court subway station. Turn left when you exit the subway station, right next to the subway station exit. This is where the host’s dinner was served.

(Who is the mysterious man in green clothes? Manually squint)

This flower shop is still there. The British really don't like change.

As for why there is a missing "B" (basement, Basement) I don’t know here either.

Finally, there are a few sweeping scenes of Daiwei and the others performing a concert under the London Eye. It can be seen that some production staff have processed some places in order to have better visual effects.
