Strike takes the tube to Westbourne Park station and walks to the Quines’ house.

‘The rain-washed scene presented an odd diorama: sleek new apartment blocks behind quiet nondescript terraces, the luxurious new and the comfortable old.’ (Ch 16)

‘The Quines’ family home was in Southern Row, a quiet back street of small brick houses…’ (Ch 16)

‘…a short walk from a whitewashed pub called the Chilled Eskimo.’ (Ch 16)

‘…Strike squinted up at the sign overhead as he passed; it depicted a happy Inuit relaxing beside a fishing hole, his back to the rising sun.’ (Ch 16)

After visiting Leonora at home, Strike heads back towards the tube station in the rain.  He notices that he is being followed.

‘Westbourne Park station came into sight a little way ahead: a long, low building of golden brick.’ (Ch 16)

Strike attempts to confront his pursuer, but slips on the wet floor and falls.  The bottle of whisky he is carrying escapes its bag and rolls across the floor.

He is helped up by a London Underground employee and manages to catch a southbound train towards Talgarth Road.

Southern Row is located here:
