From DANGER MAN: Whatever Happened To George Foster? (November 1964)
Unknown 1: John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) follows Certhia Cooper in his Mini Cooper, from London Airport, through London, to her home.
Unknown 2: John Drake follows Certhia Cooper to her London office at the �Society For Cultural Relations with South America�.
Unknown 3: Drake goes to see Lord Ammanford at his London appartment.
The third pic down has a look of one of the Square's in Belgravia about it, the pic above is Chester Square, but I don't think it's that one though the style's are similar, it also has a look of St. George's Square in Pimlico between Lupus Street and Grosvenor Road......
Just a thought: pics 4 & 5 could be the east side of Gordon Square looking north up to Taviton Street with Endsleigh Gardens in the distance at the far end.
It looks to me like Hertford Street, Mayfair, where the London studios of Radio Luxembourg used to be. The black railings look the same, anyway.
As someone has already mentioned, these pictures are mainly from around the Gordon Square area, the last one is Park Lane Southbound.
Most of the buildings around Endleigh and Gordon are much the same as they were decades ago.
More on pics 4 & 5: I've just done a site visit on my way to work and my earlier thoughts are confirmed. The Rolls Royce is parked outside 38 and 39 Gordon Square. All features tally, even down to the tree in Tiverton Street (right hand side) which is still there.
Thanks for the Gordon Square information guys. The other two locations look a bit like Park Lane, but I can't match them up exactly with any current images.
That night time view ( picture 3) is Park Lane south bound but looking northward. The vehicle on the far right of the Ford Anglia in the middle lane is just passing the low rise building which is now the BMW/mini showroom and just before that there is a petrol station set back from the road. In the middle distance you can just make out the illuminated entrance to the Grosvenor House Hotel ballroom.
