He beat Labour’s Ken Livingstone in 2008 and 2012. The Conservative party at that moment chimed with the capital: its modernisation project was in the ascendancy and Johnson projected the persona of a metropolitan liberal. Combined with strong campaigns and a celebrity appeal, he pulled off two victories. One of the best aspects of this film was just how witty it was. Harrelson, during the Q&A, expressed his love for comedy and making audiences laugh, but confessed, “…it’s not exactly as it happened. There were no laughs on the night, not even one spec…”. He clarified that pretty much everything that happened that night is in this film, but a few things that did not happen were added for comedic effect.

The street scenes they show are curiously both familiar and now very remote. National Index of Parish Registers vol 9 pt 5 London and Middlesex", by Cliff Webb, 2nd edn revised 2002, Much healthcare in the capital served specific groups or afflictions, a conceptually flawed system that saved the few at the expense of the many. Many hospitals were one-offs, set up by those who could raise the money, surviving on regular appeals for funds. This resulted in an eccentric range of institutions, a scenario that is now almost impossible to imagine but is marked all around us.

In some cases, they could have been repaired, but by this time, London had been surpassed by New York City, and the post-war Labour scuzzlebutts could only concentrate on creating ugly public housing units.

The film strikes a comedic tone despite the dramatic subject matter, and that lies partly in the truth of the story. Lost in London is based on the true story of a London night in June 2002. Harrelson’s wife learned of his infidelity from a tabloid and Harrelson had a fiasco of sorts in a club, broke an ash tray in a taxicab, was involved in a police chase, and was arrested… all in one night.
