Timing is essential. The front of St. Peters church, St. Peters Square, London W6.

. . . . so no time like the present. Richard Lovejoy provided this now shot.

A police car heads to pick up Dennis from custody. Ian Hedgcock is sure that this is the old Pumping Station on the south side of the A4 in Hammersmith, almost opposite St Peter's Church, which has been converted into The Pump House, an apartment block on Bazelgette Court.

Ian found that new walls and buildings have sprung up too close to the building to reproduce the screen capture.

Now by Richard Lovejoy. No newspaper vendor but the lions remain at No 73 St Peter's Square. Stone creatures are a feature of the square.
