Street of the murder. The Avenue, Twickenham.

The Avenue, Twickenham. The wall on the left is the approach slope to Twickenham Bridge. Alan Field found this. Good work.

Hendry and Fraser enter the house of the murder. The Avenue, Twickenham.

Arne's house... Around no 19 St. Leonard's Terrace, SW3, says Steph Tickner. All is pretty much the same today - Royal Avenue was also used for The Servant.

St. Leonard's Terrace, London, taken just inside the tree line. SJ

Royal Hospital Chelsea gates in St. Leonard's Terrace, Chelsea (unchanged today), Steph Tickner.

Hendry and Fraser outside the house. Near 19 St. Leonard's Terrace, Chelsea. Steph Tickner.

And again.

Looking across Royal Avenue to Richard Rodgers' pad, used for interiors in The Avengers. Trees, scaffolding and bins don't help. SJ

Fraser's house. Hammersmith flyover, could be. Or perhaps further west.

David Ashwood says; Stonehill Road overlooking A4 Chiswick Roundabout and the M4. The Stonehill Road Victorian houses here have all been demolished and the trolleybus overhead wires are no more, but the path still exists with a high wall to left preventing an exact view of the Chiswick Flyover (filmed just 4 years after Jayne Mansfield opened it).

Driving away. Yes, my money is on Hammersmith

Almost impossible to replicate with the roar of the traffic on the Great West Way, and in any case the trees would obscure the church. SJ

Ian Hendry is driving his MkII Jaguar along Wapping Wall, London E1 with Ronald Fraser for company, passing the Prospect of Whitby pub. This and the next still supplied by David Griffiths. Incidentally the pub was also seen in 'A Prize of Gold' and 'The Old Guard'.

Phil Evans replaces David's GEV from March '21 with this accurate shot. (SJ)

Wapping Wall looking towards a rolling bascule bridge over the (now sealed) inlet from the Thames into Shadwell Basin. The car is turning left into Brussels Wharf (still called Brussels Wharf, but now redeveloped as a Tower Hamlets-managed park on Shadwell Basin). The bridge can also be seen in 'A Prize of Gold' and 'Night Beat'.

Using the building at 1 Shadwell Pierhead, now Pier Head Prep Montessori School, Phil Evans replaces the '21 GEV from David who noted the absence of the control cabin on stilts at right. The original captures the near end of the bridge tilting backwards in the act of opening - something it probably hasn't done since about 1970. And Phil added that the docks closed in 1969. (SJ)

Suddenly they are at London's Royal Victoria Docks in E16, which also feature in 'Mr. Quilp', 'A Prayer for the Dying', 'Madhouse', 'The Sandwich Man' and 'Bedazzled' amongst others. Note the nice double rolling bascule bridge in the background.

By the Thames.

Kingston Bridge.

John Harwood and his drone captured this fine shot. (SJ)

Near Kingston Bridge, just to south east I think.

Indeed to the south-east as John H.'s drone proves. (SJ)

Kingston Bridge.

Captured by John without the Marchioness of Breadalbane. (SJ)

A cemetery. Geoff Dodd tells us that this scene was shot at Barnes Cemetery that was on Rocks Lane and that it was purchased by Richmond Borough Council in 1966 and the chapel demolished shortly after. (RL)

Alan Underwood went exploring on a footpath off Rocks Lane and explains, "This shot is taken from as close as I could judge where the cemetery gate would have been. There's no longer any evidence of the gate or the gate-pillars; and the demolished chapel, that would have been in the centre, has been completely overgrown. Most of the gravestones and crosses in the original picture have been vandalised and/or collapsed but the big Celtic cross in the foreground is still standing." (SJ)
