Sienna Miller and Jude Law leave The Clifton, 2006
The Clifton, Clifton Hill, St John's Wood, London · 2026
I am Charles Pycraft, a London photographer. On the night of Friday 29 September 2006 I photographed Sienna Miller and Jude Law leaving a party at The Clifton pub on Clifton Hill in St John's Wood. The Sunday People wrote about the night a few days later. This piece keeps to what the files show and what was reported at the time.
Leaving The Clifton
The four frames run from 02:08:10 to 02:08:31. Sienna Miller and Jude Law step out together into the London night after the party. She wears a white graphic mini dress under a black ruffled jacket, black tights and knee high boots. He is in a charcoal blazer, dark shirt and tie. In one frame he laughs back at her; in another she glances over her shoulder as they walk on. The Clifton still stands on Clifton Hill in St John's Wood.
Who was in the picture
By autumn 2006 Sienna Miller was already a familiar London face, from Layer Cake and Alfie through to her stage work. Jude Law was one of the busiest British film actors of that decade. Their night at The Clifton was one of many London evenings the camera found that year.
Where we are now
This month Sienna Miller appears in Madden, David O. Russell's film about the American coach and broadcaster John Madden, playing Carol Davis opposite Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale. The film reaches Prime Video on 18 November 2026. In the United States it also has a limited theatrical opening on 11 November 2026. A UK cinema date had not been announced when this piece was prepared. She has also been on screen this autumn opposite Dominic West in the Sky and HBO drama War.
