You will find the co-ordinates by carrying out a search of London from your armchair. Visit the linked page (FOUND TOWARDS TOP OF THIS PAGE) and find the below described items on the 360 degree photograph. You can zoom in and out and also open up a map from the web-site.

Knowledge of the Capital City is not necessary, but there may be a need to do some research to find what you are looking for.

A) Find the compound where ‘Pat’ and his friends leave their vans. You can see that the parking bays are numbered. There are 7 consecutive empty bays, what is the number of the third bay (a). Multiply answer by 4.

B) There is a black van parked on Fitzroy Street behind a green waste bin, year of registration (0b)
