The more they showed of the inside the more convinced I was that I recognised the building. The next scene was in an unmistakable panelled dining room and it came to me: Eltham Palace. I visited the palace years ago on an English Heritage open day and instantly fell in love with the architecture, design and stunning rooms. A medieval palace with an ultra modern private house built on the side, Eltham Palace makes a wonderful day out. The same building was used in another Poirot as the home of Lynette Ridgeway in Death on the Nile.
A different building was used for the exterior of the house and after a bit of searching I found it. St Ann's Court in Chertsey. It is a Grade 2 listed building that as far as I can tell is a private home. Such a shame as I would love to visit that one too.
