A police car speeds away towards 50 Grosvenor Street with the Superintendent.
The brickwork on the left matches and so would the trees in a winter shot, perhaps to follow. I am indebted to Christopher Matheson whose sharp eyes spotted the statue of William III in the square, thus proving my earlier shot of Grosvenor Square was wrong. SJ
