For some reason, I omitted this on a previous trip but fear not I returned to make amends. SJ

In the middle of the square. "11 Harrowhouse" in the background. SJ.

We can now delete all those guesses, for Dave W has established this as Leicester Square, London WC2. (RL)

Given the shadows, here is the south side of the ever-changing square. SJ

Pulling back from the previous shot Dave W's identification of Leicester Square, or as he says "Leicester Fields, when the locals were permitted to dry their washing on the grass there." (RL)

This is 198/200 High Street in Hounslow, London TW3 says John Mellor, while website visitor Ross points out that the passage way is called Red Lion Walk.

43 years later, Antony Blair returned to the scene.

200 High Street, Hounslow, London TW3 says John Mellor. (RL)

Antony Blair's comparison shows that the road has since been pedestrianised.

May well be just west of ngh019, suggests Adrian Grepnold and Jamie Okoro confirms that this is outside T. Adamou & Sons at 124 Chiswick High Road in W4.

Adamou closed in 2011 after 50 years of trading. Feather & Black replaced the store. One of the Adamou brothers Adamos recalls, "Niven made a film here". SJ

It has changed its name yet again, now The Oak. (RL)

Ramsgate Hoverport? ... Yes, see below (SJ)

Just to confirm this (and above) are Ramsgate Hoverport, situated at Pegwell Bay. I was working there and remember walking into the front port passenger cabin and David Niven was sitting there. One of my deepest regrets is that I didn't have the courage at the time to speak to him. David Ward

Aldwych and Strand, London WC2.

This replaces Terry Guntrip's Google shot from 2010 which showed the old Strand tube entrance on the south side of Strand, but this is the north side close to Clement's Inn, all rebuilt, but the tree is the same and the bus stop is in the same position. SJ

Jordan emerges, having changed from barrister robes into civvies.

Roughly here, all rebuilt. SJ

And Sketchley's would've been about here. SJ
