Just across the road from the new Nine Elms Tube station is a new Rainbow Plaque to mark a crucial location in a movie which changed perceptions in Thatcher’s Britain – and made a star of one of its leads. My Beautiful Laundrette was one of the first movies made by the infant Film Four productions, part of Channel 4.

And the wash-house of the title was located where the plaque now marks the spot. TOBY PORTER reveals why it was important, and the South London roots of its star, the elusive Daniel Day-Lewis.
