No doubt you've all swotted up on the Steptoe films in advance of the Meet next weekend?
Though it's not critical, you may want to watch a few Sweeney episodes this week as we will see a few locations from at least 3 episodes during the tour. The ones to watch are "Big Brother" "Cover Story" "Hard Men" & "Bait"
As I say, not critical as I will be bringing a single booklet with screen grabs from these episodes on the day.
Gene.

COMMENCE WALK TO TUBE AT 10AM SHARP We will head off on foot to Hammersmith Underground Station. From here we'll get the Circle Line train to LATIMER ROAD STATION which is just a short 5 minute journey by tube. If anyone does NOT want to travel via tube, it is a 15 minute drive to LATIMER ROAD STATION which is in BRAMLEY ROAD W10. IF YOU ARE DRIVING THERE YOU WILL NEED TO RESEARCH PARKING YOURSELF IN THAT AREA. THE MEET PROPER WILL COMMENCE AT 10.30am SHARP from LATIMER ROAD STATION on BRAMLEY ROAD.
The locations listed below are the main feature locations of the day. I will however be pointing out more bonus locations during the day than at any previous Meet so it really will be a real location extravaganza!- Harold en route to his Wedding. This is where Harold's Limousine almost crashes into Zita's Limousine.
While here, we will also see a small cluster of bonus locations (to be announced on the day).
There is a pleasant 25 minute walk from this point to the next location
- Harold falls asleep on the cart.
- Harold drives the horse & cart into a Pickford's van.
- Harold on his rounds.
- Albert's Funeral Route.
- Harold is knocked out by van door.

We will then take our lunch break at a nearby pub. This should be around 12.30 to 2pm. Part 2.
We will start the second half of the Meet with a short walk to Kensal Green Cemetery. I'll take you on a 1 hour tour of this wonderful 186 year old Cemetery, which will take in various film locations including Steptoe & Son Ride Again etc. After leaving the Cemetery, we will make one more stop for a 1 hour rest break at a nearby iconic establishment. This will give everyone a final chance to rest before the final leg of the tour. Part 3.
This is the final leg of the Meet. This part will see us work our way back towards our tube station before returning to Hammersmith.
- Oil Drum Lane - The Steptoe's Yard
- Training Hercules II

From here, we will take the 5 minute walk to Westbourne Park Tube Station where we will get the Circle or Hammersmith & City line back to Hammersmith.Once back in Hammersmith, we will walk to a yet to be decided pub nearby for a meal and a few drinks. People are free to do as they wish from this point onwards. So there it is. This Meet follows on nicely from our previous "London Revisited" Meet from 2018. As stated above, we will pass many bonus locations from other productions on the route such as Minder, The Professionals, Villain, Theatre Of Blood, The Sweeney to name a few. Details of these bonus locations will be kept as a surprise until on the day. Any questions? Let me know. I hope you all like the look of what I've put together. I'm sure you'll really enjoy this one! Here is a very small sample of what you're in for (Click to enlarge)
