I really don't think there is enough information to nail it down. It's
not like number 10 Charing Cross Road (which of course is a real
street on the east edge of Soho in London).

All we know is that it is on Charing Cross Road which is not a very
long street, and that it is between a book store and a record shop.

People have gone there and found a relatively non-discript building
between a record shop and book store and photographed it, but I can't
remember where I saw the photo.

Don't know if it means anything to you but the City of London traffic
control has what are called Jam Cams; web cameras on two Charing Cross
Road intersections. In case, you would like to look for yourself.

Cut and pasted from one of my post in the HP Off-Topic Group-
Here are some good examples-

General UK Web Cams-
http://www.ukwebcameras.co.uk/

Family friendly (inoffensive) Web cam; 100's of them.


General World Web Cams-
http://www.earthcam.com/

Has a search feature that will allow you to search 'London', 'UK',
'England', etc.... This is a directory so it redirects you to other
web cam sights. From what I can tell to see anything that might be
offensive, you have to have a username and password.


SOHO Cam-
http://www.camvista.com/england/london/latino01.php3

Cameras updates the image reasonably fast, but the camera also rotates
periodically so you aren't constantly looking at the same scene.


BBC Jam Cams-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/travel/jamcams/north_central.shtml

These are traffic cameras in London (get it? Jam Cam ->Traffic Jam),
although the BBC sight has lists of other nationwide web cams (A nice
one in Torquay). On the page link I have given you, on the bottom
right of the map are 6 camera location configured in a small arc with
two more cameras just to the right of them. In the arc, the two middle
cameras are Charring Cross Road. There are more on or near Charring
Cross, but they aren't operational right now.

Just passing it along.
