We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions.

De Vere Gardens W8 outside the former K Palace Hotel looking towards Kensington Gardens Circa 1970

As a condition of her gaining a share of Henry’s estate, Agnes Russell applies for a position at a hotel. Dave W provides the identification, De Vere Gardens W8 outside the former K Palace Hotel looking towards Kensington Gardens. (RL)

Dave provides this Google Earth View from 2008 and the comparative shot, when it comes, will show the changes wrung by developers. (RL)

Waiting with a bottle of champagne, Lucille and Benson (Dennis Price) wave at Simon as he looks from the solicitor’s window following the reading of Henry’s will. Probably best described as opposite 70-71 Princes Square, London W2 says Dave. (RL)

Even better described as near opposite The Prince Edward hostelry, from an upper window of which the camera may well have been positioned. SJ
