This is one of those things that I know I've seen but can't quite bring to mind, and it's driving me crazy, so I thought I'd leverage r/london.
The Fifth Element is a movie which divides opinion, but I love it, and the vast majority of it was shot in London. Mostly, that was at Pinewood Studios, but one of the interiors looks like a location which was probably in the city.
I am pretty sure this is above a tube station. Belsize Park has those almost-semicircular windows. In this video clip some red brick buildings are visible opposite. I suspect it's not Oxford Circus because there's only two windows, and it's not Holloway Road because that has five windows in a row. Unless there's some internal division we can't see on Google Maps.
Does anyone recognise where this is?

The wall between the arched windows is too wide for the [tube stations that were designed by Leslie Green, with similar arched windows style](https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/missing-pieces/leslie-green/), so I don’t think it was filmed at any of those.
Could it be above Covent Garden tube station?
