New Scotland Yard, Norman Shaw Buildings, Victoria Embankment by Westminster Pier
UnconfirmedAs Scott has entered the sparsely furnished office, Harris (Michael Redgrave) first pull down the blinds, because "Ever since they built that new skyscraper on the South Bank, we've become rather telescope prone".

Westminster Bridge proves, that this uncut Zoom-back-shot was taken from New Scotland Yard, now Norman Shaw Buildings, located on Victoria Embankment by Westminster Pier. — recorded for Assignment K by Reelstreets.

Where this came fromClapham Road, Number 365-367, SW9
UnconfirmedSo the young courier had to cross several national borders on the way back. But the customs checks went smoothly because the microfilm, as we know hidden under Dr. Spiegler's plaster cast, remained undiscovered of course.

The Smiths Crisps depot gives the hint, at the time located at Number 365-367, SW9. — recorded for Assignment K by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromCoswig (Anhalt), Roßlau county, Halle district
UnconfirmedNow here we have the 'MacGuffin', a microfilm from behind the Iron Curtain. But not hidden in a spectacular pre-Columbian statuette like in Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest', but in an inconspicuous matchbox from GDR production, manufactured by VEB Zündholzwerk at Coswig (Anhalt), Roßlau county in Halle district. Immediately afterwards, the passenger, an East German toy dealer (Alexander Allerson), will prepare a Barbie doll with the microfilm in the train toilet and throw it out of the running train at an agreed location before the border controls at Probstzella station. By the way, officially no Barbies were available in the GDR, except of course on the black market or as coveted gifts for or from SED bigwigs. Steffi dolls, as a competitor to Barbie, were produced by VEB Puppenfabrik Waltershausen from 1966 onwards. — recorded for Assignment K by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.

Unconfirmed. . . by one of his Stasi henchmen, as a close-up of the probable prop phone booth, reveals. Scott finally manages to leave his house seemingly unnoticed through the backyard to visit MI6.

Not yet verified by us.
