From the opening scene you can see Belfast City hospital, and when he sees the junkie who owes him 50p at the lights, i get my fry on a Thursday across the *beep* pancake house (great fry btw) so why are they trying to crack its brixton or what????
shareAnd the last scene is Lisburn Train Station...why go through all that trouble to change the signs and just shoot it in Brixton?

Because the film was financed by the Irish Film Board and the Northern Ireland Film & Television Commission, so it was shot in Ireland. Even aside from that, no doubt it's a lot cheaper than London, same reason Montreal is used for "New York" movies.
