Found the stables courtesy of the fantastic avengerland site, still looking for the flats.

I've made two trips to the Pinewood area looking for that location Stevie but without success. I spent a couple of hours last weekend scanning the area using Google Earth but again, nothing. The flats look to be in the same road as the house that Donald Sutherland visits and the architecture looks very similar to that in Pinewood Green opposite the studios but so far it's still proving elusive.

I don't suppose either of you know where the Coral betting shop in Property of a Gentleman is? (Where McGill meets the dodgy butler??) It's just that I work for them and it would be nice to know. FYI, the shop interior looks genuine...

Thanks to help from guys like Mariocki, all the known Man in a Suitcase locations can be found here, but the unknowns can also be found here and here.

Down in Chiswick this weekend, was it Syon House used for The Sitting Pigeon?, I must take a look.
