In the background stands the headquarters of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on Little George Street SW1.

A similar shot from Peter. (RL)

A passer by bumps into Arthur. Looking west along Great George Street on the north side of Parliament Square in SW1.

Peter sent a replacement shot as his original was taken from too far back.

Arthur hails a cab to take him home. Great George Street with the Houses of Parliament in the background.

Another shot from Peter. (RL)

The taxi arrives outside the apartment block where Arthur lives with his wife Fiona. Prince Albert Road, London NW8.

The bus stop was closed. (PW)

The same road now. (PW)

Fiona Harris (Diana Quick) calls up to her husband as the Taxi Driver (Carl Andrews) carries a case to his cab.

Facing Regent's Park from the driveway of Prince Albert Court. (PW)

Arthur throws a plant pot from the balcony.

Looking up the frontage of Prince Albert Court. With thanks to the Concierge at Prince Albert Court for allowing photography. (PW)

Neighbour Angie (Carolyn Seymour) steps aside as the pot hits the ground. The driveway of Prince Albert Court on Prince Albert Road NW8.

The same location now. (PW)

Fiona's taxi turns to stop outside the couple's best friend's home. Neil Rigby locates this as Elm Park Road on the corner with Callow Street in Chelsea.

Neil's Google shot now replaced with similar "real" shot. SJ

The start of a short pan sees Fiona get out of the cab. Elm Park Road and Callow Street, London SW3 identified by Neil Rigby.

Neil's Google image now replaced with improved angle by SJ.

Fiona knocks on the door to Tony Sloane's house. Neil Rigby found this door on Callow Street, London SW3 (RL)

Changes to the door and wall. SJ

Feeling depressed, Arthur walks through the park.

The same bridge near Clarence Gate which was seen in the Kenny More version of The 39 Steps. Regent's Park facing the Outer Circle and buildings on Park Road, NW1. SJ

Contemplating suicide, Arthur returns to his flat where an Odd Job Man calls and is engaged to carry out the deed.

Queen Mary's Gardens within The Inner Circle, Regent's Park NW1. Also seen from the other side in About A Boy. SJ

When Fiona returns, the two are reconciled and go out to a restaurant. The car was also seen in 'The Sweeney' TV series.

Outside Prince Albert Court in London NW8. (PW)

The Odd Job Man follows the couple. Prince Albert Court on Prince Albert Road.

The same location now. With acknowledgements to the building's concierge who recalls the film being shot. (PW)

Facing the junction of Prince Albert Road and Ormonde Terrace with Primrose Hill in the right background.

A few more vehicles today. (PW)

Arthur and his wife continue their journey to the restaurant. Neil Rigby identifies the corner of Fulham Road and Sydney Place, London SW3.

Replacing Neil's Google from November 2014. SJ

The car is parked on a double yellow line and the couple go inside to eat as the Odd Job Man arrives to carry out his orders. Neil Rigby locates this as Pond Place.

Again, replacing Neil's Google capture. The double yellow survives. SJ

As the Odd Job Man tampers with Arthur's car, a van full of policemen arrives in the street to remove parked cars. Pond Place in Chelsea.

Looking north. SJ

Sergeant Leyton (John Judd) claims Arthur's Rover and tells the Constable that he can take the Mini. Pond Place, Chelsea SW3.

Looking south down Pond Place.

The cars are driven away. Pond Place, London SW3.

Still with parked cars. SJ

As the convoy passes through the city, the Sergeant loses control of Arthur's car. Westminster Bridge looking towards Parliament Square and Victoria Embankment in SW1.

The same location now from Peter, who recalls a time when he owned an ex-police Rover 3500 V8 and went to visit his parents. "I parked in a suspended meter bay and noticed four people in a car in the street opposite. On returning, the car was gone, crooklock and all. I managed to report it to a local bobby who radioed the station and told me that it was at the London car pound south of the river. The four people I had seen in the car were the drive away brigade".

The Rover 3500 is lifted from the water after plunging into the river. Looking along the Thames towards Westminster Bridge.

Behind the gathering of boats is Westminster Bridge. Taken by Peter from Embankment, facing west.

Tony Sloane (Simon Williams) takes Arthur to visit two underworld acquaintances, Raymonde and Bernard, in an effort to stop the Odd Job Man from completing his task. Nigel Rigby, after persistent sleuthing, locates this as "The Furniture Cave", Tetcott Road, London SW10 with some extension.

Replacing Neil's GEV from Feb '15. The three windows on the left are the originals and the terrace has been cleared to be replaced by Westfield Park, which was established in the 1980s. SJ

The police and fire brigade appear at Raymonde's establishment after the Odd Job Man gains entry and almost blows Arthur up. After locating the previous capture it was easy for Neil to pinpoint this with the aid of Google, Tetcott Road, London SW10 OTZ.

Westfield Park has cut across Tetcott Road and removed a few more houses. There was considerable bomb damage around here, seen in "I Believe In You," probably because the Luftwaffe were targetting Lots Road Power Station just a little further south. SJ

After leaving Fiona in the flat, Tony returns to his car. Prince Albert Road, London NW8. The building in the left distance can also be seen in 'For Members Only'.

More greenery now in this repeat of the view seen earlier. (PW)

Tony drives through town with the Odd Job Man lying in the back of the car. Neil Rigby identifies this as Addison Avenue, London W11.

This replaces Neil's Google shot from November 2014. Looking northwest from close to the corner with Holland Park Avenue. SJ

When the car is stopped at a junction, the Odd Job Man strangles Tony with the seat belt. Neil Rigby identifies this as Addison Avenue at the corner of Holland Park Avenue looking towards Holland Park Gardens, London W11.

This replaces another GEV shot from 9 years ago. Swinging nearly 180 degrees from the above shot. SJ

Raymonde (Michael Elphick) and Bernard protect Arthur and Fiona as they pay to visit London Zoo.

The couple try to enjoy the sights as Raymonde and Bernard (Stewart Harwood) tail along.

The tour continues as the Odd Job Man prepares to strike.

A tourist boat makes its way along the Regent's Canal. London Zoo's Snowdon Aviary stands on the right.

Rubbish! Into the sun and from the wrong bridge (as one has to pay zoo entrance for the one in this shot) but at least the aviary's in silhouette. SJ

The Odd Job Man (David Jason) fires his pistol at Arthur, almost hitting passengers on the canal cruise. Regent's Canal running through Regent's Park with Prince Albert Court at the top of the image.

I perhaps could have ventured closer but I didn't want to break up the romantic couple by the support. A better shot would probably best taken on a canal cruise but there's Prince Albert Court through the bare trees. SJ

Arthur makes his way home after surviving the latest attempt on his life. Primrose Hill Bridge running over the Regent's Canal between Prince Albert Road and Regents Park in NW8.

Through the bushes can be seen the same bridge. The parapets were rebuilt around 2009. With thanks to the Concierge at Prince Albert Court for assisting with the identification of this location.
