Hercule Poirot's home

In Charterhouse Square on the boundary of the City of London is this block of art deco apartments.

Some of you might recognise it as 'Whitehaven Mansions', Hercule Poirot's home in the TV series  'Poirot'. Built in the mid 1930s it makes the perfect location for Poirot which is set during that period.

  4. I love that Art Deco style - we have a number of buildings like that here.

    I think the bride was in the right place - coming back from a photo shot on Sydney Harbour.

  5. What an interesting place! That last picture shows that it's a very different kind of building. :-)

  8. Must watch that series. I have almost reached the end of my personal reading challenge to read everything Agatha ever wrote -- so I will need to get my fix some other way (Or else re-read my favorite books -- I've probably forgotten "who done it" by now so it'll be like new again.
