Snapshots of George Smiley's London

Thames houseboat moorage and Battersea Bridge (scene of climactic confrontation in CALL FOR THE DEAD).

Camden and Hawley locks, Regents Canal, Camden Town (mole "Gerald's" ultra secret "safe house" was situated nearby).

Lexham Gardens, Kensington (Smiley and Guillam interrogate Esterhase at an upper floor "safe house" that overlooks this square).

Hampstead Heath, the tree-lined pathway along which General Vladimir made his last fateful late-night excursion, hoping to rendezvous with "Max".

The "Free Baltic Library" occupied an upper floor of this brightly-coloured corner building (opposite the British Museum forecourt), Coptic Street at Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury.

South End Green, Hampstead, where Smiley walks from the Heath and telephones taxi driver Lamb to inquire about General Vladimir's movements.
