School in the film

Is the school an actual school or a set? Also, I remember in "To Sir With Love 2", that in the beginning of the movie Sidney Poitier walks down the street where they filmed the scene with the field trip bus, and the buildings looked to be abandoned. Does anyone know where in London the movie was filmed?

I think they filmed part of it in London's East end.

The building was on Johnson St in London E1, but it is no longer there.

The locations were Shadwell, Waping, and Poplar.

One of the roads featured in the film (Reardon Street) is near where I work, in Shadwell. It's in the old East End docks area and was bombed to b*ggery during WWII.

Most of London's east end was still abandoned then, repairing the damage done in WW2 wasn't complete until the late 80's.
