some textual research

The two Chinese restaurants across the street to the right of the bookstore aroused my great interest.

The lanterns hanging outside the store and the banner of "Chinese Buffet Restaurant" are too similar to a storefront in Chinatown, and the yellow store sign next to it, as if there is a milk tea shop in a narrow strip of Chinatown, I have seen it in the alley of a Chinese pastry shop.

Finally, I found this precious picture when dragging frame by frame:

According to "Oriental" and "Delight", it is inferred that Chinese is "Oriental Music" and English is Orient Delight. Follow this clue and search again, and find that there is really (once) a shop called Oriental Delight in Chinatown .

But search Google Street View according to the address, and found that it seems to have changed hands (the street number plate can be seen to be the same):

But... In fact, the entire street scene is built:

But I'm still curious as to why you want to build two Chinese restaurants, is it to imitate the rush of SOHO China Town? And after searching for a long time, it seems that there is almost no Chinese discussion about this detail. The only thing I found is a fanciful mention on AO3.

And, there are also fans on the Internet who analyzed the (suspected) easter eggs in several stores on the left side of the bookstore, which is also very interesting:

I also found that some Japanese netizens have carefully picked up the filming location, made a fanzine , and attached a Google map . It can be said that they are professional drama chasers. They even picked up where this cafe is.

This restaurant is really called Best Cafe hahahahaha

In the end, Tavistock Park is still very obvious, and the small park next to the school has really passed/traveled countless times.

But why is the direction of the chair on Google Street View the opposite of the one in the show? ? ?
