35 Maiden Lane, London WC2E 7LB

London's oldest restaurant (1798). His regular Covent Garden table throughout his career. He said the restaurant's endurance was proof that certain pleasures are immune to history.

90 St Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4AP

Victorian gin palace in the theatre district. A Greene haunt: he walked from his flat, drank alone at the bar, and observed. He claimed to have plotted most of The End of the Affair in London pubs.

Quai du Mont-Blanc 11, 1201 Geneva

His Geneva base during his Antibes years. He slipped between Switzerland and France for decades — Geneva for business, the coast for writing.

1 Résidence des Fleurs, 06600 Antibes

His home for the last decades of his life. He wrote The Captain and the Enemy and Getting to Know the General here, and died in Antibes in 1991.

2 Lower Albert Rd, Central, Hong Kong

The press club that anchors his Southeast Asian world. He reported from Hong Kong and drew on it directly in The Quiet American and other novels of the Cold War periphery.

4 Rue de Valois, 75001 Paris

Colette's former Paris hotel, overlooking the Palais-Royal gardens. Greene stayed here regularly on his Paris visits throughout the 1950s and 60s.
