Don't know as I am not a film watcher but there is a famous pie shop/restaurant near me called Sweeney & Todd. 40 years in my local town, feels like everyone who lives here has been and has their favourites. I used to eat pigeon pie there years ago.

I haven't seen it but I just watched a clip on you tube and accent sounds right. They've changed the story drastically
but then it was only short wasn't it? i remember my sister doing it (it's a play) at school. it looked good but it all
depends on whether they have mucked up the class system, they always get it wrong. I didn't see the pie shop in
the clip. TW1ZTY is there a pie shop?
Yup in the movie his partner in crime Mrs. Lovett runs a meat pie emporium and she helps him dispose of the bodies by chopping them into pies and selling them to unsuspecting customers who don't know what they are eating.
Since the movie was made by an American director I imagine that they did mess some things up about London's Victorian era. Just like how in Gone With the Wind they probably messed some things up about how Georgia really was during the Antebellum era. Many of the characters didn't even have accents. But that's Hollywood for you.
This is one of my favorite songs/scenes in Sweeney Todd.
