Sorry OP I thought you'd perhaps left the forums but I see you're posting today, I thought I'd bump the thread.
Ooo...totally missed this post so thanks for bumping! Wow, you really are some sleuth and totally correct on all counts as far as I can see. Will endeavour to update the site asap. In the meantime, theres some wonderful mid-80s photos of the John Cleese film Clockwise - many of which need identifying!

I'll have a look at those OP when time allows. Great fun I've got to say, internet sleuthing, plenty of sources of info around but google streetview often provides the final answer, be very difficult without it.
The road in London for the main hotel was actually Queensborough Terrace W23SY
As they head down to Bayswater road, the hotel on the Left of screen has been demolished and has a new build, but the corner building on the RHS is the giveaway.

Did anyone else notice the time on the Church clock (St James I presume) at the time of the 1st car accident in London...
It's exactly the same as the time shown on the stree view image on Google Maps... (16:07)
Spooky
That IS spooky! Could it possibly be that the clock stopped many years ago and simply hasnt been fixed? Perhaps locals could tell us!
