JOHN STEED: 4 Queen Anne's Court |
Far and away the most appealing of Steed's flats, IMHO, is the one at 4 Queen Anne's Court, Tothill Street,
Westminster, a quiet, tidy little corner of London, as seen at left. Steed lived here from late 1964/early
1965 through mid 1966. |
The second panorama shows the view just to the left of the first, with the bedroom door at
the far left. Below this is a view of the kitchen. Emma's presence is evident here, as her purse and gloves
rest on the table in the foreground.
Along the right are three rare detail views. The first, taken from the raised foyer, catches Steed in the
midst of a nap; above his head is the bedroom door. In the second, Emma graces a shot of Steed's gun
collection, which faces a pair of clearstory windows. This corner of the room is flanked by the kitchen door
to the left and the fireplace to the right. Speaking of the fireplace, the last image is a detail of the
mantle. I've yet to discover who is the subject of the painting; I'm guessing it is a relative.

The Avengers, The Prisoner and Doctor Who by Piers Britton and Simon Barker.
