After Emil Louba makes advances towards Frank Leamington's fiancée Susan, the casino owner takes a taxi to his club in order to speak with Mr. Warden. Looking eastward on Pall Mall, London SW1 with Carlton Gardens to the left of centre and Waterloo Place in the left distance.

Bit too much traffic for my liking. SJ

The taxi draws up outside the club. Facing the Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall, St. James's in footage that also appears in 'The Invisible Asset'.

Just a change of motors. SJ
