I'm just thinking Spook taxis here. Harry would just say "initiative" Beatriz.

I don't think we have this one yet. The Havensworth Hotel in 5.4 is Wrotham Park, Barnet, Hertfordshire. Well the exterior shots anyway.

As for the interior shots, I think the corridor/room scenes were filmed in a different place to where the reception area/staircase scenes were filmed. In one scene where Adam is looking down over the staircase, carved into the walls are the names "Wheatstone" "Napier" and "Wolf" with some dates, 1791 and 1836. Now these chaps seem to be physics/astronomy type peoples. I have drawn a blank so far looking at places in London such as the Science Museum, V&A etc.

Not a very exciting location but the restaurant where Fiona had a drink with Joumana in episode 4.7 is Browns, Old Jewry Street, City of London. I recognised it having been there a dozen times.

Don't think we have these yet.
The first is the cemetery were Ros was buried in 6.8. This was pretty easy as it is mentioned in the extra's on the DVD
It is Kensal Green Cemetary. http://www.kensalgreen.co.uk/The second is where Ros beat up and sat on the Russian bloke in 7.1 who was following her. It is the square fronting The Guildhall Library, Aldermanbury, London, EC2V 7HH.

The third is the war memorial target in 7.1 and where Adam said goodbye to Ros. It is St Dunstans in the East church, Idol Lane, London.

Lots of work done, TL!
I always wanted to know where Ros beat that guy. Nice square!

OK, a candidate for the park in 8.8. where Ruth met that Chinese bloke. I am not 100% sure though, but it is my best guess. I went back and looked at the coat of arms again. I figured that as the word above the coat of arms appears to have 5 letters, that the Council or Borough must be Brent. Most others Councils have names with more than 5 letters. I then looked up all parks in Brent that have walled gardens. There are only two. Roe Green Park and Barham Park. Roe Green looked too open so I went for Barham. I can only find this one photograph of the entrance to the walled garden on the net though. If it is the entrance that Ruth walked through, then the photo is showing it from the other side. The brick work and black gates look the same though. The coat of arms used on the park sign also looks very similar to the one on the "dog" sign. As I say, I can't be 100% sure but it could well be the right one as the Council also offers this park as a film location on its website.
Address: Barham Park, Brent, London.
