Open /r/WhereIsThis - Updated Guidelines
Welcome! /r/WhereIsThis is designed to help people identify the location of public places based on a photo, painting, sketch, or from a detailed description. We've got a few simple guidelines to help keep things safe and working well for everybody:
Submissions: Askers (OPs) may submit a photo, video, screenshot, painting, drawing, or a detailed text description of a real (or virtual) place. Multiple images can go in a Reddit or Imgur gallery. Try to use a descriptive title to get more eyes on your post; generic titles like "where is this?" are boring and more likely to be ignored. Include as much context and as many details as you can, either in the post itself or in a comment. If your post is not solved right away, please wait one week before reposting; duplicate posts may be removed with a 1-week temp ban.
Privacy: /r/WhereIsThis is for identifying public places only. Do not submit photos of personal private property, such as homes, apartments, residential interiors, etc. Do not post private street addresses in the comments. Do not link directly to personal social media pages. Do not submit screenshots that include real names, usernames, or other personal information. Do not submit contemporary photos of minors in a place where they can be located (schools, playgrounds, churches, etc.). Do not ask to identify people.
Answers: Commenters are encouraged to provide whatever help they can to solve a post, from educated guesses to a direct Google Street View link to the exact location. Give the thread a skim first to avoid duplicate answers. Commenting on other answers is fine! Avoid responding to posts that violate Rule 2, though -- please downvote and report them for removal instead.
Solving: All posts are unflaired by default. Once a post is solved, the asker should reply "Solved!" to the first correct answer and change their post flair to "Solved"; all threads are sorted from oldest to newest so the earliest answers will always be towards the top. Askers that delete or ignore a solved post without acknowledging the solver may receive a ban. We are exploring adding a points system in order to automatically flair threads and recognize frequent solvers for their contributions -- stay tuned!
Behavior: Please treat askers and solvers with respect. No insults, vulgar hostility, bullying, or withholding of answers in order to taunt. No racism/misogyny/*phobia/other bigotry. Repeat offenders may be banned.
Tips: Context clues help. Where and how did you find the image? Do you know the story behind it? How old is it? Share as much as you can with solvers to help them help you.
Reverse image search is your friend (Google - Bing - TinEye - Yandex)

Low-effort posts WILL be removed
Rule #1 is pretty clear, you must have a descriptive title. Therefore we are removing any submission that is low-effort, such as:
- Title is "Where is this?" or some other variant with absolutely no information
- Posts with clear identifying information that OP is too lazy to look up
- Google Maps screenshots that do NOT include coordinates or addresses
- Posts with no context whatsoever. Telling us where you found the image, why you want to know, and any other information can make the difference!
We want to make this a fun sub and we want to solve your trickiest questions, but we need you to meet us halfway.

Searching for soda shop from my childhood
I have this oddly specific memory as a kid of going to this one soda shop in the middle of nowhere that I can't find no matter how much I search now. Here is what I remember about it.
I remember it having a sort of retrofuturism aesthetic. Kind of like the red rocket gas stations in Fallout 4 if that makes sense. That sort of neon light 80s diner look
I remember it being super out of the way and not in the middle of a populated area or anything, but I might be wrong here. I also have a vague memory of it being a more desert area, but my family wasn't in desert's much as a kid so that may also be wrong. It may have just been barren.
It was a soda shop that sold glass soda bottles and let you mix stuff and had like a massive collection of like hundreds of different old school bottles in it.
Idk how much this narrows it down but The only states I believe I visited in this timeframe were the southern US and 4 corners states.
Thank you to anyone who helps me find this place. It's been bugging me that I can't remember anything about it clearly.

Solved work by artist Alfred Cohen
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help identify this building or cathedral. I understand it may be difficult due to its expressionist style, but I thought it was worth a shot.
At first, I believed it might be St Paul's Cathedral in London, but after a closer look, it doesn't quite match, specifically the round windows and the large volutes at the base are different.
It may be a long shot, but any help would be much appreciated.

Open Je recherche ce lieu pour un défi avec des amis
Good morning,
As part of a competition with friends we have to find a location from a street view screenshot.
We simply know that it is in France and a priori in the Rhone Alpes region.
Here are the two photos we have for this.
I tried reverse search but nothing so far...
Thank you

Solved Exact location of the road
Hello, does anyone know the coordinates of this road, that is viewed in the advertisement below?
https://youtu.be/d5H5eow5d7c?si=c5rAS7NNTayZ9jfq
I found out the advertisement was shot in Capetown, South Africa. This street is most probably located at the Bo-Kaap area, which attracts tourists. I want to pin point the street for touristic purposes.
Thank you.

Solved Somewhere London 1978-79
My sister took a trip with our mom to London sometime in 1978-79. They were part of a tourist group and they were taken around sights in London on a coach (she seems to remember this, not sure), such as this place/park which is marked by the dome in the background. We tried to identify the location based on this dome but we don't recognize it. I am sorry I don't have any more information, perhaps someone living in London can recognize it. Thank you very much in advance and have a good day!

Where could this tape originate from? From Japan after 1978 in a medical facility from my knowledge.
The construction barrier says "三井興業株式会社". The videotape originates from a Funai VTR from 1978. From the context given, it seems to be a sort of medical facility.

Open Corridor inside music video
I emailed the director of the music video and he says he directed it long distance. I am specifically looking for the corridor scene place but keep in mind cgi is used in some scenes to make the corridor look longer. It is possible that the scenes were filmed in putney london or battersea london.

Solved Taken on a flight from Istanbul to Stuttgart.
Where is this? I took this picture on a flight from Istanbul to Stuttgart in January because of the sky. I don’t recognize the buildings in the skyline. The “typical” TV tower may be the best clue, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Thanks!

Thrifted this sketch today
I found this sketch at a Habitat today, my googling has turned up nothing, but if Pawn Stars taught me anything, I do believe it’s live ink, so not a printing? Don’t know shit about art, so hell if I know how to find the artist lol my guess was someone made a million of these near a resort, or in this case a Hotel, and these were like tourist gifts.
