I was thinking about a suitable clue for this place but everyone I thought of makes it too obvious. Maybe the last picture might give away the location of todays mystery place.
The Third Circle of Hell? :D

That went right over my head, until I looked it up. :twisted:

Bugtownboy had guessed the correct headline story as two of the Bulgarian Russian Spy's were living in Harrow. The indirect link was the Salisbury poisonings by the Russian Spy assassins, the Italian restaurant Zizzi was cleaned for 8 months before it re-opened, having been contaminated with traces of novichok.

Salisbury Cathedral's spire is the tallest one in the UK.

I've twice flown over Salisbury Cathedral on my paraglider, and once landed near it, although I bottled out of landing on the actual grounds.
This is from June 2018 and was a solar powered journey too. :mrgreen:

And the view of the Cathedral dropping down to Salisbury on the A36 from Southampton through Wellow is one of the finest in England.

Saw it too many times, though !
