These are captured from a 1979 TV series "home in Hong Kong" episode 10. The location was Central district. It looks familiar but I can't remember where. Can anyone identify the exact location?

Re: Photo Location
Looks like Bank of America Tower, Lambeth Walk area.
Bank of America Tower
Yes, it was Bank of America Tower. In 1979, it was called Gammon House 金門大廈. It was sold in 1979 and renamed later to Bank of America Tower. An important clue is the cosmetic shop Revlon 露華濃 where the blue shirt man was standing (top 3rd picture from left). According to this news article in 1980, it was going to move out because of drastic rent increase by the new owner. The man was standing near Revlon at the Cotton tree drive-Lambeth walk junction.
First bottom picture we are looking south along Cotton tree drive. The Revlon site is now occupied by a centaline property agency. In 1979, cars were traveling east along Lambeth Walk before turning into Cotton Tree Drive. Today Lambeth Walk traffic is going westward instead.
