Piccadilly Third Stop

Seraphina Yokami (Yoko Tani) arrives at the society wedding reception of Lieutenant Rafael Wilberforce and Angela Vaughan in Mayfair. 27 Chesham Place, London SW1.

Richard Lovejoy sent in this shot and thanks Alan Field who identified the location which had been "bugging" him for a long time.

Seraphina, daughter of the Ambassador for Siba, gets the red carpet treatment. Alan Field found Chesham Place SW1 . . .

. . . and Richard Lovejoy sent the picture.

The portico of Sir Robert and Lady Vaughan's house. 27 Chesham Place SW1. Other views of the street appear in 'The Seventh Veil’, ‘The Young Lovers’ and ‘The Lady with a Lamp’.

Another good now shot from Richard.

Dominic Colpoys-Owen arrives home with Seraphina. Chesham Street in SW1 as identified by Alan.

Martin Underwood provides this additional screen capture of Dominic dropping Fina off outside her house. 1 West Eaton Place, Belgravia, London SW1. Martin remarks that as the location is about 200 yards from his house it might have been quicker for them to walk! (RL)

Replacing Martin's Google shot from August last. SJ

Dominic Colpoys-Owen (Terence Morgan) and Seraphina share a moment. Unidentified location.

Dominic and his gang check out Seraphina's fathers embassy prior to the robbery. Alan Field locates the building on 99 Eaton Place SW1.

And this replaces Alan's supporting Google shot from December 2012. SJ

Panning from the previous shot of the Siban Embassy. Eaton Place, with Chesham Street in the background found by Alan Field.

This replaces Alan's previous Google view. SJ

Dominic catches the train from 'Belgravia' station. This is the Aldwych branch platform at Holborn which can also be seen in 'The Black Windmill', 'Turn the Key Softly', 'Monsieur Ripois', 'The Gentle Gunman' and 'Conspirator'.

Given away by the train having only four cars and the straightness of the platform. With thanks to Les Williams and the staff at Holborn station for arranging access. (PW)

Christine Pready (Mai Zetterling) waits for Dominic to return from the robbery. David Paul Thomas advises that the car is a Wolseley 1500 and Richard Lovejoy locates it as standing opposite the Brompton Road / Hans Crescent entrance / exit of Knightsbridge Underground Station with a corner of Harrods store to the left.

Comparison image by Richard Lovejoy.

Dominic emerges from the station with the proceeds of the robbery. With a branch of Cecil Gee, gent's outfitter on the right, Richard Lovejoy adds "This shot shows MAC FISHERIES at 58a Brompton Road. The station entrance / exit was on the corner of Brompton Road / Hans Crescent opposite Harrods."

Richard's modern shot shows that Hans Crescent has now been pedestrianised and the station access is in the centre of the road but has the building at the rear been rebuilt in an old style? Brick columns and sash windows?

Christine and Dominic speed away. Richard Lovejoy says "As Christine and Dominic speed away they pass Courtney Reed, Pleaters and Haberdashers at 48 Hans Crescent."

The distinctive roof line at the end of the road confirms in Richards comparison.

The getaway car speeds away along a reverse view of Hans Crescent. (RL)

Now a pedestrian precinct with Harrods on the left. Located captured by Richard Lovejoy.

A lorry approaches on a side road. Looking back down Basil Street, Harrods on the right and St Saviours Church, Walton Place and its spires visible at the end. Identified by Richard Lovejoy.

A nice angled now shot by Richard Lovejoy.

The lorry about to collide with the getaway car. Richard Lovejoy identifies this as the corner of Basil Street and Hans Crescent, the plaque confirms all.

The same location by Richard.

After the crash people begin to gather. Ron Glenister has finally resolved my torture of years West Eaton Place adjoining West Eaton Place Mews, London SW1 (RL)

Paul Lincoln popped by to capture this long outstanding comparative shot.

A closer view of the background buildings. And, of course, West Eaton Place adjoining West Eaton Place Mews, London SW1 as identified by Ron in the previous capture. (RL)

Following on from the previous capture Paul naturally managed this one as well for us.

The public run to assist. Hans Crescent from the corner with Basil Street. (RL)

The Colombian Embassy is still on the corner in Richard Lovejoy's view.

The mangled wreckage. Included to show the plaque on the wall just right of centre.

The Colombian remains but the accident wreckage has been cleared. Richard Lovejoy
