Location questions
I'm curious about the location of Dalgliesh's flat, and also the Dupayne Museum manor house. Does anyone have any information on either of those?
Thank you!

Thank you very much. Another thread came to mind, which I'll post separately.
shareIs the location of the flat on Bankside, if it's near the Tate Modern? I've been trying to work out which end of the Thames the location is filmed from.
You can see Tower Bridge very clearly but I think it is on the other side of the bank probably near Wapping. I'm not quite sure which perspective of Tower Bridge is used (towards central London or away). I think the city is behind the bridge, therefore we are looking from Dalglieh's balcony towards central London from the East, ie Wapping.
In the scene where Dalgliesh is preparing to meet Emma on Bonfire night there is a lit terrace which juts out from the embankment which is overlooked by his balcony. This could give a clue, but it's still a mystery! Can anyone help?!
I now think that Dalgliesh's flat is on Bermondsey Wall on the South Bank of the Thames, very near Shad Thames, the flat could be located in Butler's Wharf.
It is more likely to be Bermondsey Wall as the distinctive blue balconies of the flats opposite when Dalgiiesh is on his balcony in the opening titles fit that location, where Tower Bridge is easily visable with the City of London in the background.
The filming location seems the same flat in "A Fish Called Wanda". I didn't watch this movie, but just found a blog which contains some screenshots and locations. One of them looks quite like Dalgliesh's flat! http://movie-tourist.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-fish-called-wanda-1988.html?m=1
shareIn the novel, Adam Dalglieth's flat is in Queenhithe, south of St. Paul's Cathedral.
