Madness - Islip Street

The music video of this song was shot in Kentish Town Church of England school in Kentish Town, Islington in North London. Nearby housing block "The Forties" is where one of the band members grew up.
Also used in the video is a pub at the beginning of the street called the Oxford. 

The band's saxophone player, Lee Thompson decided he wanted to fly through the air for his solo, with the use of wires hanging from a crane. The resulting shot is one of the most popular of any Madness music videos.
