Just checked, and it looks right (had to check because I actually had no recollection of Maudsley's house!!!). Wow, well done!

My husband might think it a bit strange. He has already caught me looking at the top table restaurant website on several occassions and given me that "what's she up to, is it another fella" stare !! Smile

Just tell him that you have to find the perfect restaurant for a nice evening out for his birthday or something Wink

I may have a possible location for the last scene between Harry and Ruth. (Yay!) And just so you all know I hate streetview - why can't they have Thames view as well?

But moving back to the point, it probably is a small, private dock just off Dock Road, aka, round the corner from the O2 arena, Dome, or whatever it's called this week. The co-ordinates of where the dock might be are 51.504509, 0.012767 just in case anyone wants to check. Actually, please do check. I've pretty much worked out this location from how Citigroup, HSBC, etc are positioned in the background, spent a while working out what direction it meant the camera crew were facing, then used StreetView as best I can to work out an approximate area that the dock could lie in, then found only any areas with ships in on the Thames within the area I originally worked out. So I may be wrong Wink

I have just noticed another dock that it could be, just off Orchard Place, or it could be (Although I'm not even certain that this is a dock so maybe not,) at 51.507799,0.002543.

Wow, I look decisive. 3 places it could be. Whoopee.

Is it me or do Spooks seem to use the same estate (the one with all those concrete walkways) for the gritty urban shots?!

Dunno. Maybe. Maybe London just looks the same -shrugs-

When I was staying at my mate's in south London I went on little trip and walked from Waterloo, over the bridge and along a path that took me right past Thames House. I even stuck out a finger just to touch the hallowed building. I know, it's sad... :-o

YIPPEE I FOUND it !! Where Ruth and Harry had dinner in 5.03. I rewatched the episode last night and noticed the bar to the left of the dining room. I then searched the net looking for restaurants in London with stained glass, and being downstairs. After going through 6 possibles I found it. They had dinner in the Catch Restaurant at the Andaz, Liverpool Street. I think this used to be the Great Eastern Hotel but not sure. If you go on to their website you can do a virtual Tour of all the different restaurants. Here are a couple of photos I have found also. I guess I had better get on with some real work now ......
