The movie clearly states that it is the middle of the summer and supported by the fact that schools are still in attendance and the quote "It's the middle of the summer, its a heat-wave." However during the party scene, it is clearly dark outside but the clock on the wall as Jamie enters the house says 9:00. During British Summertime it would still very much be light at this time.
When Jamie is about to steal a copy of "Gay Times", the magazines next to "Gay Times" are "Auto Trader" is wide-shots, but "Playboy" in close-ups.
When Jamie is in the tobacconist's looking at the magazines, there are three copies of "Gay Times" in the long shot, but only two in the closeup.
When Leah is dressed up as Mama Cass, she has yellow tights over her head. Between shots the legs of the tights alternate from behind/in front of her shoulders.
After "rescuing" Leah, Tony goes downstairs barefoot, but the sound of shoes can be heard.
When Jamie and Ste board the 180 for the Gloucester, it's actually heading AWAY from London and the bar.
The rainbow early in the movie is inaccurately depicted: the red band should be outside the curve, and the blue/violet band on the inside. A rainbow is composed of the entire spectrum of colors of visible light, from the longest wavelength, red, to the shortest wavelength, violet.
Sandra gets the details of Mama Cass's death wrong, claiming she died from choking on a sandwich. There was a partially eaten sandwich in the room when she died, but she didn't choke on it, she died from a heart attack.
However, Sandra is only stating what she remembers as the cause of death, and is shown to be wrong about other things throughout the film (including the identity of Claude Monet). While the information is incorrect, it's entirely conceivable that the character could have misremembered, rather than it being an abject error in the screenplay.

When Ste and Jamie are talking outside at the party, it's cold enough that you can see thin fog from their breath, even though it's supposed to be set during a heatwave. Occasionally, other almost-invisible puffs of fog appear behind Ste (probably from crew members), even though they're supposed to be alone.
When Ste returns the trainers he wore to play football to underneath his brother's bed, they are obviously brand new and unworn - the tread ridges on the soles are totally clean, as are the laces and the uppers - the scuffs on the toes were obviously deliberately created for plot development to occur.
When Jamie and his Mum are fighting on the floor of their living room, the transmitter of the body mike is visible on his back underneath his tee-shirt.
Sandra states that she's been offered a pub "in Rotherhithe". However, when she opens the letter that gives the address of the pub, it clearly states Greenwich. Rotherhithe is over 3 miles away from Greenwich. However, when Sandra and Jamie visit the pub ('The Anchor') it is at Ballast Quay in Greenwich.
When Leah is "making-up" to go out with Ste and Jamie at the end of the film.
