Happy birthday Michel Brandon π»
The 3rd episode LUCKY STREAK was partially filmed in Chelsea, this one on Royal Hospital Road.
Very close to "Foxtrot Oscar" - more about it in "That's All I'm Sayin' " π

Then and now pics from the 3rd episode LUCKY STREAK. Makepeace is driving along Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea.
OMG how time flies - this was filmed 40 years ago
A very nice location and camera angle. Picked up from the episode BIRD OF PREY. In front of the Scratch Hub at Battersea Arts Centre, Town Hall Road SE11.
@triviaaivirt @DempMake Hi, thanks, nice idea - I just have to wait until retirement to have enough time... nearly 300 locations visited, so at least there is enough material ;)
The Lymon character preferred not to own cars ;)
This time a suitable motor to borrow was Capri,
which he found on Burney Street , SE10 (Greenwich).
Episode #20 ' THE BOGEYMAN '.
(ps. Nick Brimble turned 80 a couple of months ago, congrats !)

40 years ago it all started and this was one of the very first scenes together β€οΈ Filmed in the riverside part of the Mayflower Pub SE16.
From the 2nd episode "THE SQUEEZE" which indeed was filmed first. ("now" pic taken in 2018)
@Marcus_The_Man Thank you. That area sounds unfamiliar to me, they usually did not film in such northern locations. Please share a screenshot if you find the ep + location you referred to.
Greenwich Peninsula, part 7
20th episode "THE BOGEYMAN":
The very brilliant car stunt where Lymon's red Pontiac jumps from the ramp and rolls spectacularly was shot near the two East Greenwich's gasholders of which in 2018 ("now"pic) was one left, now both gutted :(
Greenwich Peninsula, part five.
The opening scenes from the 21st episode "THE BURNING PART 1" were filmed towards south approximately from where O2 is.
The "now" picture I took from the cable car in 2018.
A lot has been built since then.
@tommytuck39 Such a nice detail, thank you ! When visiting this location in 2017, I namely remember checking online the scene once again to be sure it is the right place for the ex-tunnel. No cuts, camera rolling, so it had to be it.
Greenwich peninsula, The Pilot pub, River Way SE10.
The last remaining true landmark in the area left from the old filming days.
"Then" image is from the 21st episode THE BURNING PART 1.
The geezer (Andy Bradford) on the right we saw also in The Squeeze.
Still on the Greenwich Peninsula.. same location as my previous post but now to opposite direction.
This one is picked from the 26th ep BIRD OF PRAY.
(River Way SE10)
On the Greenwich peninsula, where they did quite a lot filming, aren't many landmarks left. Buildings have gone and the road systems have changed radically.
From the 21st ep THE BURNING PART 1:
Makepeaces XR3i heading west from the corner of The Pilot pub, River Way SE10
Arguing whose right of way it was... on location 2, Champion Hill SE5 from S3E2 The Burning part II. At the same adress there was "Ristorante Fiori" where Makepeace threw pasta on a crook in S2E5 Tequila Sunrise. "Now" pics from year 2018.
