GREAT TV LOCATIONS: BASIL FAWLTY AND THE DAMN GOOD THRASHING

Fan of Fawlty Towers?

Constantly surprised that Britain's funniest Torquay-based comedy wasn't actually filmed in Torquay?

In the London area?

Have a car that deserves a damn good thrashing?

Why not try here?

The good people of Mentmore Close in Harrow would like to point out that while they have plentiful suppplies of tree branches, if you are planning to give your car a Damn Good Thrashing, please bring your own.

UPDATE:

Here is a picture of the location taken THIS VERY MORNING by reader Ian Pearse to prove the area hasn't been wiped out in a firey nuclear inferno.

Note that if Fawlty tried the same stunt these days, he'd back into a bollard. It's Health and Safety GONE MAD ON ACID, people!
