Filming Locations

AUCTION ROOMS (INTERNAL) – THEN & NOW  

CHISWICK TOWN HALL, HEATHFIELD TERRACE, W4 

At the start of this episode Arthur, Terry and Justin are seen at these auction rooms, which are the meeting room and staircase at Chiswick Town Hall.

This location also features in #5.3 A Number Of Old Wives Tales, #9.4 Looking For Mr. Goodtime and #11.3 The Art Of The Matter.

 

THE PENGE SPORTING MAN’S CLUB (INTERNAL) – THEN & NOW

First seen at 07m38s is the inside of Tony Benson’s club ‘The Penge Sporting Man’s Club’. Sadly this location was torn down in the 1990s and replaced by what is now the Portman Hall apartments. The club was all on one level with the main dance floor sunk by about a metre. The only stairs went up to the mezzanine floor which had its own smaller dance floor, bar and a balcony. From here you could look down on the main part of the club and this was often used as a VIP area.
