The song "Who Will Buy?" from the film Oliver! the musical sang by Mark Lester (made in 1968), was filmed on a street in Bath. Does anyone know the name of the street? I am visiting Bath shortly and would like to visit this location.

whilst the location for "who will buy" looks like the royal crescent in bath or certain parts of london, it was, according to
http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/o/oliver .html ,
built from scratch at shepperton studios.
The whole film was made at Shepperton Studios.
I know this because I was lucky enough to work on the film as an extra or supporting artist as they are known now days! In my opinion Oliver the(1968) version was on of the best sets ever built at Shepperton, I think this view is shared by everyone that see that wonderful set!

British film making at it�s best!
Another superb Shepperton Studio street was the East End street in the film version of "Till Death Us Do Part " . It went from WW2 'til the "present " day (as it was in 1968) with all its changes .
It is the Circus (not the Royal Crescent) - I was just there, then happened to rewatch Oliver and thought it looked really familiar! Only, today there are cars parked there where the vendors would have been. Also, in Oliver, the buildings are a lot whiter (now I see it was probably because it was a set rather than the actual street in Bath).
