Q London Pic, Piccadilly Circus Ticket Kiosk, Summer 2013 v 2014

https://youtu.be/Dch_qpR9i0A

This Q pic shows pedestrian crossing area at Piccadilly Circus. In middle background is the entrance to the subway. Unlike more recent images from the area, in Q's pic there is no Ticket Kiosk. Pictorial evidence indicates that this Q pic was taken before the Kiosk was installed. That is, before the summer (23 JUNE) of 2014.

Given the jackets and hats worn by people in the Q pic, the pictorial evidence here points toward the winter of 2013/2014.

Moar to come.

Red Bus Pic via Piccadilly Circus/Coventry

THE [ORIGIN]AL BIG BUS TOUR, Mar 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kimhVcvI7gM

Q's pic of a shiny double-decker Red Bus in London, UK, seems designed to draw attention to reflection(s) of a White facade at a bus stand in the vicinity of Communications House and the playhouse featuring The Book of Mormon.

Demolition and construction began 23-MAR-2014, shortly after the Red Bus pic was taken. Communications House was gutted while its facade was preserved. Beneath its ground floor is a huge power station. The bus stand was (and continues to be) used by a bus tour which stops here for both boarding and alighting of customers, drivers, and guides (conductors). Just prior to construction, the bus stop flag was changed and that dates Q's pic to no earlier than 29-OCT-2013 when that change was approved.

Prominently featured in Q's Red Bus pic is its shiny surface which reflects the building behind the camera. That camera may well have been in the hands of a field asset or it might have been a security camera affixed to the wall of one of the two ground floor shop fronts. The double-decker is an old Routemaster (Lengthened, or RML) which operated with a driver upfront and a conductor at the rear open platform. The bus in Q's pic was likely a private hire, because RMLs were no longer serviced this part of Coventry Street by 2013-2014.

In this video, a March 2015 tour is used as an example of a bus on this route that circumvents Central London via Piccadilly Circus (also featured in Q pics of London) and Trafalgar Square (likewise featured in Q pics). Here, on a sunny day, only the tailend of the route is used as it showcases the scene of Q's Red Bus pic.

Besides illustrating the details that help date Q's pic and which hint at the significance of this particular pic in the context of the rest of the series of Q's London Pics, the goal is to bring alive the still photos through editing together vids and pics from various open line sauces.

EMBANKMENT TIMER 0:35

Re Q1423

Timer for moving parts.

What is a sequence?

Compare with moving parts in still photos dropped by Q.

This vid is of the scene in JAN 2013. Other pictorial evidence used to date the Q pics of this scene point to the winter of 2013/2014. This vid was taken from almost the same vantage point on footbridge overlooking. Night, winter, looking toward Big Ben.

Example, look for individual with white hand bag walking from bottom right corner of vid frame and up the right side of frame. Compare with the series of London Pics depicting this scene and estimate time it took two individuals to walk in opposite direction.

Example, look for individual walking on the other side of the street, the left side of frame, as he or she moved from the entrance of the Tattershall Castle down to the pedestrian crossing at Northumberlund Avenue. Compare with various individuals walking part or all of that distance in series of Q Pics.

The timer appears in top right corner of vid frame, backward/forward.

MQY 2014 NORTHUMBERLAND JUNCTION 000

https://youtu.be/wr5htJ5ebsE

Moving down Northumberland Avenue to Victoria Embankment Junction and then past entrances of Hispaniola and Tattershall Castle. View of traffic islands and bollard signs adjacent to front corner of The Corinthia Hotel. View of crossing at junction. View of adverts and entrance signs at RS Hispaniloa. Daytime, dusk, and night time views. Street level. And westward view from elevated vantage of the Jubilee footbridge.

The main sauce vid was taken SEP 2013 and shows the area around and within which Q London Pics were taken at the Embankment and Corinthia Hotel, but from the opposite direction, for the most part. Viewer enters the scene via Northumberland Avenue from Trafalgar Square. Street View images taken MAY 2014 (after road accident had occurred (5 MAR 2014). The main vid was taken some time before those Street View images as per the appearance of the bollards on the traffic islands just outside Corinthia Hotel.

Takeaways:

In SEP 2013 video can see busy bus stops/stands on both sides of Northumberland right up to the Corinthia Hotel;

Car and motorbike parking are heavier at dusk in SEP 2013 vid versus Q's Pics of Corinthia Hotel area (points to possible weekend, ie Sunday, time frame);

Definitely 3 advert signs on handrail of ramp at Hispaniola, this number matches Q's pics; also note the absence of a white sign at the entrance prior to JUL 2014, which also matches Q's pics.

Indications are that Q pics of this scene were taken winter of 2013/2014, and possibly during the Fall of 2013 (i.e. SEP-OCT).

Coventry and Whitcomb/ Wardour Streets

360 View on Wardour Street, JAN 2013

https://youtu.be/Q9YQA2qTQjk

Multiple 360 degree takes at the scene of Q's Red Bus pic, which is adjacent to LSquare and Chinatown and about 10-minutes walking from the scene of Q's pics of Piccadilly Circus (as illustrated in this vid's zoom-out opening cut).

Note that there are two bus stand areas at this location. The Tour Bus company used both of these areas PRIOR to the period of demolition and construction which began MAR 2014. You might be able to discern the basics of the bus stop sign which appeared there PRIOR to demolition work. This sign in vid of SEP 2013 does not match the sign in Q's pic of Red Bus. However, as per other pictorial evidence, the bus sign was changed for the construction period. The city's approval for this change was made 29-OCT-2013 and the change does match Q's Red Bus pic. So that change plus the date of the start of demolition helps to narrow the dating of the Red Bus pic to OCT/NOV 2013 to 23 MAR 2014. And the sauce vid here was taken JAN 2013 (8 months earlier) so serves to illustrate the Red Bus scene fairly well.

Q's London Pics

Q 1405

Q supplied title = Fsurv_londonps1.png ~ Field Surveillance London Peter Strzok

The scene of this photo: Coventry St & Wardour St, near Leicester Square, London, UK. Embedded video shows the scene (in 2013, on a rainy day, in 3 clips, each 360 degree view). Opens with long view down Coventry to statue at Piccadilly Circus.

Look for the reflection in Q's pic, the red bus side panel reflects the white building on street corner. Note the bus stop sign. Also look in the background, left side of photo frame, for PS wearing red hat and tan trousers as he approached the intersection. Match the ticket stand in same background with the ticket stand on left side of video frame. Compare with Q's London Pics of Winter Wonderland (Hyde Park) in which PS stands posing for a selfie while wearing same hat, coat, trousers, boots.

Note that the red bus is a Routemaster Lengthened (RML) and most likely a private hire (RMLs discontinued on TfL routes) considering the location of the bus stop.

RMLs were 2-man operation. Driver fairly secluded upfront and a Conductor open to the public in rear open platform.
