Now. SJ

Terrorist Layla (Debbie Linden) is kitted out by Spider (Lemmy). The Queen's Walk SE1, with the Houses of Parliament in the background.

A moment early in the morning without sightseers. The same view is seen in Follow Me cap 25. SJ

Alex is left with no money and nowhere to live. Emerging from a phone box he is splashed by a taxi carrying best friend Gerry (Neil Dickson). Throgmorton Street, London EC2.

No sign of the phone box. This is next to Angel Court looking west to Lothbury. SJ

The taxi pulls up further down the road. Throgmorton Street EC2 facing east. Also seen in 'Four Days'.

Quite different during the day. SJ

Alex catches up with Gerry, but obtains no favours from him. Throgmorton Street EC2 facing west.

The building work doesn't help the view of the corner between Bartholomew Lane and Lothbury. SJ

Alex is thrown out of a cafe for upsetting the regulars. 22 Carter Lane EC4.

Currently Vita Mojo, this shares a corner with Dean's Court, opposite no.36, the former St Paul's Choir School which moved out in 1967 and is now a youth hostel. SJ

Destitute, Alex walks the streets. Peter's Hill EC4 facing St. Paul's Cathedral.

A popular view, seen in The Jokers and Run Fatboy Run among many others. SJ

A very grand entrance to the hotel. SJ

The tree, planted in place of the lamppost in about 2010, has thickened fast. SJ

Alex and Ron go on the run, Outside The Black Dog, Vauxhall Walk, SE11.

The independent Black Dog is thriving, and even more so since Taylor Swift's name drop on her 2024 album's track 17. Looking west along Glasshouse Walk. SJ

Alex starts shooting wildly. Vauxhall Walk SE11.

A highrise is appearing in the sky behind. SJ

The police give chase. Dave W 'dipped his toe' south of the River for this one, "Walworth Road SE17 looking towards Elephant and Castle. Behind the police car we see Hampton Street where it meets Walworth Road." Then quickly found his way back home. (RL)

Quite a few new buildings here but the corner with Hampton Street is intact, though partially hidden. SJ

Alex and Ron drive into the countryside, where they ditch the car. Bottom Lane, Ipsden, Oxfordshire.

A posh party is being held. Antony Blair identifies this as the main entrance to Strawberry Hill House on Waldegrave Road in Twickenham, Greater London which is also seen in 'The Trygon Factor', 'Villain', 'Bullseye!', 'Father Brown' and 'Personal Affair'.

Antony nipped over to Twickenham for this daylight shot.

At the party the Home Secretary has slipped out with Fiona (Fiona Richmond) for a flask of coffee in his limo.

More motorists and foliage around today.

The pillar box remains. Pillar Box House, now standing behind it, was built post-1996.

A Royal dinner is being held at Buckingham Palace, where Nosh starts a punch-up. It has been said that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but this is no Buckingham Palace to Dave W who says that a sentry with a sentry box placed at the northern end of County Hall, facing the River Thames offers a reasonable facsimile. (RL)

Minus the sentry box. SJ

Having been ditched by his wife for flirting with the Queen, Nosh takes a dejected walk across Tower Bridge SE1.

Looking north. SJ

Nosh steps into a club to drown his sorrows.
