Today's view in daylight (SR)

Emory meets Beaty as she leaves a client. 14a Clifford Street, Mayfair, London W1.

The south side of the street. And the clever door of Bond Street House has moved closer to no15. SJ

Beaty goes shopping. 26, Mount Street, London W1 also recognised by Dave W. (RL)

A big 26 has been added to the door frame. SJ

Beaty picks up a bust to brighten Emory's place as she moves in with him. The window of antique shop 27 Mount Street, London W1 similarly admired by Dave W. (RL)

The west side of the square and an opportunity to correct "south" I foolishly wrote in London Movie Guide. SJ

The man gets into his Mercedes, to which Alex has tied a dustbin lid. Grafton Square, SW4

Looking south. SJ

The man gets out to remove the dustbin lid. Grafton Square, Clapham.
