Invisible Asset, The (The Scales of Justice)

A small court, perhaps held in great awe by the average citizen, is the Bankruptcy Court. Carey Street in London WC2 with Bankruptcy Buildings to the right.

Strand House to the extreme right confirms the location. (PW)

Edgar Lustgarten approaches to outline the case of Sam Warren. Carey Street with the Royal Courts of Justice on the right.

Facing eastward on Carey Street. (PW)

Mr. Lustgarten explains that "Sam Warren was a man who, within a few years, had rocketed from comparative poverty to at least the semblance of wealth, only to appear in this court." Carey Street WC2 with the Bankruptcy Court in the background.

There's no longer a court at the corner. (PW)

Returning from court, Sam Warren (Kenneth J. Warren) opens the door to his house in Hampstead where he is greeted by his wife Joyce. 53, Avenue Road, London NW8.

Going straight out again, Sam tells Joyce that he going to his club in St. James. Eaton Place in SW1 with the since lost Lowndes Arms public house and other properties on Chesham Street to the centre. The location also appears in 'The Crying Game' and 'Foreign Exchange'.

One would never know that the Lowndes Arms was ever there. SJ

Parking his Rolls Royce, Sam Warren gets out. Eaton Place in Belgravia.

From street level. SJ

Crossing the road, Sam enters the building where his lover Beryl has an apartment. The pavement outside 96 Eaton Place SW1.

Again, without the elevation, but this shows the utility covers still intact. SJ

Sam continues on to his club where tongues begin to wag in the bar when he's refused credit before Jimmy Donovan buys him a drink. In a scene taken from 'Flat Two', Steve Randall recognised the Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall in St. James's SW1.

And in the spirit of recycling footage, here's my ever so slightly trimmed shot initially taken for 'Flat Two'. SJ

Being blackmailed by Donovan to pay back the £10,000 he had borrowed for improvements to his restaurant in the City, Sam and Joyce Warren (Annette Carell) leave their home to start a new life in Jamaica. 53, Avenue Road, London NW8 (RL)

With orders to just keep going towards the West End, the taxi departs. 53, Avenue Road, London NW8 (RL)

On the way, Sam fears that they may be being followed. Dave W has been able to put a name to Macclesfield Bridge on Avenue Road over the canal, looking towards Prince Albert Road. (RL)

Denis Hoare visited the scene and found that nothing had changed at all, apart from the building in the background, which is hidden by trees in the original screenshot. (RL)

Sam tells the Taxi Driver to stop at a rank where the couple change cabs. Dave W was quick off the mark identifying Outer Circle, Regents Park with the white car in the background turning out of Avenue Road. (RL)

The taxis have finished their lunchbreak and now out plying their trade. Never a cab there when you want one Denis. (RL)

The journey continues towards the West End where Mr. and Mrs. Warren take a room at the Park Royal Hotel in the name of Smith. St. Catharines Precinct, Outer Circle, Regents Park, London NW1 and Cumberland Terrace off to the right. (RL)

Additions apparent to the right here. SJ

Receiving a phone call from Donovan, Sam looks through the window of the hotel room to see a Man standing across the street.

A Hotel Porter (John Murray Scott) is paid to help Sam and Joyce flee from the Park Royal to catch an earlier flight to Jamaica.

Concealed in the back of a laundry van, the couple are driven from the hotel. Sloane Avenue seen from the crossroads with Whitehead's Grove in SW3 with Nell Gwynn House as the background, a building also seen in 'The Firechasers', 'Recoil' and 'Delayed Action'.

Even safer to cross the road now. (PW)

Sam spots another Man as they pass a corner. The junction of Sloane Avenue and Whitehead's Grove in Chelsea.

The corner now has a gate. (PW)

When Sam queries the route being taken, the Laundry Van Driver tells him that it's a short cut.

The laundry van turns a corner. The corner of Crisp Road and Queen Caroline Street in W6.

Sam panics, telling his wife that Donovan has a warehouse around here. Crisp Road in Hammersmith with the BBC's Riverside Studios on the right. The street appears in 'Small Voice', 'The Long Arm', 'Recoil' and 'Love in Pawn'.

Mr. and Mrs. Warren are delivered safely to the airport, where Joyce disappears while making a phone call to her sister . . . shortly before Donovan appears.
