Quilter Street.

Quilter Street/Durant Street. But have you noticed streets like this are now more Victorian than they were in the 80s. See the new-old lampposts.

The cars park at an angle nowadays. SJ

See how easy it becomes when we give you these establishing shots. You'd never have sussed the location just from cn006c, would you?

Took me a while to realise this was Tower 42, the ex NatWest Tower. London EC2. SJ.

This is tilting down from a pedestrian passageway called Austin Friars. SJ.

Another subtle clue, HAMMERSMITH.

And once again sorted by Greg, who says: Rivercourt Road in Hammersmith, W6. The building bottom left is the same building taken from the Bing Maps Bird's Eye. Another hom.e run for Greg

Burlington Road W4, the spire is of Gunnersbury Baptist Church. A very similar pair of houses, at the Chiswick High Road end of Burlington Road, appeared in the background of a car run-by shot in an episode of The Professionals. Alan Field.

The four possible house numbers are 25, 27, 29 and 31 on Rivercourt Road in Hammersmith. I tip for number 27 Road. Greg.

Hampstead . . . perhaps?

Addison Road, London W14. Terry Guntrip. Image copyright Google Maps.

87 Addison Road, not 78 as in the annoying typo in London Film Location Guide and its sequel London Movie Guide.

Not much better than the Google image. SJ

Yes the same now reiterated just to illustrate how things can go wrong. At first googled to Addison Road, then "nowed" to back up the google, but ...

... now sorted. Holland Villas Road, W14. SJ

Andrew Parker says 26 Holland Villas Road, W14 and not Addison Road. The window panes are different, the extension has gone, as also has the house next door.

Well done, Andrew: you penetrated the obfuscation and found the right house. SJ

Holland Villas Road, W14.

Re-done wall. SJ

Holland Park????.mebbee.

Window pane rethink and a centralised entrance gate, along with a change to the window next door. SJ

Knightsbridge they say. And Bill Rice concurs adding that this is looking towards Kensington Gore. At the bottom left is The Scotch House and the tall slim building in the middle is the Army Barracks on South Carriage Drive.

A modern view of the same scene taken from the top of Harvey Nichols' department store by Antony's son Carl Blair. The barracks' tower is almost hidden by newer buildings.
