The baths where the first victim, Albert Aachen, is murdered.

The site of Clifford Street Baths, Savile Row W1.

During the titles. Poirot walks along Savile Row, London W1.

Just like all those years ago. . . . the same place now.

Passing No. 12 Savile Row, London W1.

The builders are in but still the same location.

Poirot walks past Hastings (Robert Morley). The street was also seen in 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' and 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' as well as 'The Million Pound Note' from some years earlier.

Outside what was known as Sherborne House on Savile Row W1.

Hastings follows Poitot as they pass Hardy Amies at 14 Savile Row, cunningly disguised as No. 21.

Still Hardy Amies on Savile Row.

Poirot walks from New Burlington Street into Savile Row W1.

Someone replaced the post box with a ruddy great building!!

Hastings, and now also Franklin, in pursuit. Savile Row looking towards Conduit Street W1.

The same shot now.

Hastings pauses outside 6 Burlington Gardens W1 with a statue of Gottfried Leibniz in the background.

Leibniz is still there but Mr Morley has long gone. Over the years the building has been used by various institutions.

Franklin (James Villiers) also pauses outside 6 Burlington Gardens.

The statue is of Georges Cuvier. The building is currently occupied by the Royal Academy

Hastings and Franklin follow Poirot along New Burlington Street looking towards Regent Street.

The same street in August 2012 . . . . 47 years later.

Poirot enters Hardy Amies Couture and fashion house at 14 Savile Row. The same building as seen in image almu006.

The same shot in colour but without Poirot.

Hastings arrives at a police station to obtain some boots and finds Poirot had been arrested the previous night. Mark Dean identifies this as the former Uxbridge Police Station on Windsor Street in Uxbridge, Middlesex. A shot of the Police Station's lamp appears in 'The Firefighters' and more of the building can be seen in1956's 'Eyewitness'.

A good comparison from Nick Knight.

When Poirot and Hastings leave the police station they bump into Miss Jane Marple (Margaret Rutherford) and Mr. Stringer (Stringer Davis) in cameo roles. Windsor Street, Uxbridge located by Mark Dean. The old Police Station is currently a bar named The Fig Tree.

Nick Knight provides this comparison.

Hastings and Poirot set off for Betty Barnard's flat. Putting up the wrong location as a "now" has finally elicited the correct location from Stephen Dean. Victoria Square, London SW1, thank you Stephen, brilliant identification. (RL)

The little square/rectangle has now been railed and cultivated. Looking towards Lower Grosvenor Place and Buckingham Palace. SJ

Identified by Stephen Dean as Victoria Square, London SW1 (RL)

Tilting upwards. SJ

The pair are about to find that Betty Barnard has become the second victim. Although it "cuts" to this, this is the other side of the Square as identified by Stephen Dean. (RL)

They appear to be heading towards No.3 or No.4. No.6 was seen in "Howards End" and Cantinflas/Passepartout cycled around here in "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1956). SJ

An establishing shot of Hyde Park in London W2.

The best possible "Now" angle with a tree in the way and no crane! Serpentine Road, Hyde Park. (RL)

Poirot converses with Franklin in Hyde Park.

I believe, the lamp post, the trees, the steps and continuity suggest it is slightly to the west of the bandstand in Serpentine Road. (RL)

Amanda Beatrice Cross (Anita Ekberg) on the Bandstand near Serpentine Road in Hyde Park. The location is identified by Simon James in London Movie Guide and also appears in 'Escape!', 'Wanted for Murder' and 'Joanna'.

The tree to the left is the same, so looking north-east. SJ

A police car waits outside Dr. Duncan Doncaster's apartment. The building is named Kings Gate. Unidentified location.

Poirot mistakes the police car for a taxi and soon gets out again. Outside Kings Gate, an unidentified location.

After being escorted to the airport, Poirot shakes off Hastings and heads back to town. Heathrow Airport, Middlesex.

Hastings catches up and they both take the taxi to town. In the background is the Europa Building which used to be Terminal 2. The building closed in 2009 and was demolished in 2010. Heathrow Airport in Hounslow, Middlesex. Also seen in 'Hot Millions', 'Scream and Die' and 'Midnight Lace'.
