Piccadilly Third Stop is a 1960 British thriller film directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Terence Morgan, Yoko Tani and John Crawford. It was written by Leigh Vance. A wealthy playboy hires a gang of criminals to help him steal £100,000.

Production

The film was shot at Pinewood Studios and on location around London, including numerous locations around Belgravia. Holborn tube station filled in as the fictional "Belgravia station" on the Piccadilly line. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ernest Archer. Filming took place in April 1960. It was made by the same producer and writer as The Shakedown.

The original title was Time to Kill. Filming was to have begun on 3 March but original director John Lemont dropped out to make another film written by Leigh Vance, Cry Wolf which became The Frightened City.

When Terence Morgan's character is standing in the tube station eyeing the station staff, he is positioned next to some film posters on the station's walls. At least one of the posters next to him is from an actual film that Terence Morgan had starred in earlier that year, The Shakedown (1959).
