Finding Your Feet

Sessions and Stauton's comfortable Surrey mansion. In fact it's Hertfordshire, Bannits' House, Chalfont Lane, Chorleywood in Hertfordshire.

And we see the front of this Arts and Crafts house as caterers set up for a party to celebrate Sessions' knighthood.

Hayman on his canal boat next to Spall's on the Regent's Canal alongside Blomfield Road, London W9.

This could either be Hampstead No. 3 Pond for mixed bathers, or, nearer Highgate, the Kenwood Ladies in which case a now could be restrictive unless we can find female help ... Emma Catto confirms the mixed pool and she should know as she's there in the still.

This replaces Simon's 'temporary' upload in 2018. Denis Hoare found out that there is a strict 'no camera policy' attached to this Pond. His seeking permission to do so at an appropriate time was also declined, but the Hampstead Heath Swimming Team were very helpful, sympathetic and supportive and lifeguard Dan Fawkes took this shot for us, with permission to publish. 'ReelStreets' thank all concerned for their efforts and co-operation in our objectives. (RL)

Her ladyship Staunton, slightly intimidated, arrives at sister Imrie's estate. This is Jesson House, part of the Rodney Estate east of Walworth Road, SE17.

Catherine Street alongside the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, WC2. This corner was also seen in 'Never Let Me Go' (1953). SJ

They turn the corner to locate Spall's van, parked ill-advisedly.

This is Russell Street looking towards Catherine Street. Drury Lane is behind me. SJ

Spall finds that his van is to be towed and so takes drastic action. Suddenly we've moved from WC2 to EC1.

This is looking east on St Cross Street, off Hatton Garden EC1. SJ

Thanks to the viral sensation caused at Piccadilly Circus, an invitation is extended to the dance troupe to perform in Rome. The Hotel Baglioni, 72 Via Veneto.

The crowd walks up from the bathing pool after casting of ashes on Hampstead Heath. Tris pinpoints the spot as Lime Avenue . . . .

. . . . approaching the junction with the Kenwood path and provides this shot as proof.

Staunton chases after Spall's canal boat. Identified by Tris, this is the entrance to Blomfield Road moorings in W2.

And here's the proof from Tris.

She finally catches up with him as he emerges from the Islington Canal tunnel at Colebrooke Row N1. That's a four mile dash: she must be keen!

Tris provides this view looking west to the entrance of Islington Tunnel from the towpath running at right angles to Colebrooke Row.
