Number Six's flat location at 1 Buckingham Place, is in the opening credits of Patrick McGoohan's cult classic spy sci-fi TV series The Prisoner

Catherine Place : The road junction on the left is the north end of Buckingham Place.
The building on the right with the security grille windows on the ground floor houses the offices of the "ethical" trade association for British Mercenary /Security / Private Military Contractor companies - the British Association of Private Security Companies at 57b Catherine Place.
Unfortunately, this location isn't available in Google Maps street view, at least at this time.
On the original TV series the door colour was white and back in 1966 it wasn't a one-way-street.
It never fails to amaze me, that although Patrick McGoohan was desperately looking for whom to present as "Number One" for the final episode, the answer had been hinted from the early beginning on, once the production team had settled for Buckingham Place "# 1" to be Number Six's home.
BE SEEING YOU!
It's now available in streetview.
