Greenwich Peninsula, part 7 20th episode "THE BOGEYMAN": The very brilliant car stunt where Lymon's red Pontiac jumps from the ramp and rolls spectacularly was shot near the two East Greenwich's gasholders of which in 2018 ("now"pic) was one left, now both gutted :(

Greenwich Peninsula, part five. The opening scenes from the 21st episode "THE BURNING PART 1" were filmed towards south approximately from where O2 is. The "now" picture I took from the cable car in 2018. A lot has been built since then.
