England is no longer England
Idyllic visions of it being like 'Heartbeat' unfortunately went years ago  :(

It had the name of the boat and Town on the stern!   Would have been a bit too easy!    _))*

Difficult to give a clue as any clue would probably lead directly to the answer.  Let me just say that it's dahn shaf!  That is sahf of Brummigem at least.

It looks like a Town Hall or Government Building of some kind. As there is only one flag flying it would suggest it is England rather than Wales. The dual address is intriguing though.

I suddenly feel less interested in posting so I will let you out of your misery.

The Building is Apsley House, home of the first Duke of Wellington and his descendants, stands right in the heart of London at Hyde Park Corner.

It is (was) also known as Number 1, London.  So there you have it.
