This is a walking tour of Portland Street in Hong Kong, 20-MAR-2014. Goes the full length to the towers at the north end. So plenty of context. For instance, walked past building improvements still under construction.
Start at about 18:35 and continue for about a minute to get a quick view of the area around the intersection.
At about 18:35 the camera approached the Hamilton Street Rest Garden, southwest corner, and crossed to the northwest corner. A very small park with some benches.
Camera continued past the SFALO shop window and quickly past the gate that leads to the entrance of the Pacific Western Kindergarten (2nd floor, at that time). The gate neighbors SFALO and the school was above the soccer shop.
This video evidence corresponds with the available 1027-18 Google Map imagery -- and with the image posted by Q (the date of which is still be to established here).
The Q image does look doctored, to my eye, particularly some of the signage that hangs across Portland Street, but the bare bones are authentic.
Dratt. Here is the embed video. Start at about 18:35.
Here is map of Hong Kong:

Excellent digging. I had thought the signs looked doctored (in the softer image) but this evidence shows me to have been wrong.
Cheers.
