14 Farraway Street

In the novel/short story collection The Big Four, 14 Farraway Street is the address of Hercule Poirot. It is a set of rooms which he has rented from his landlady Mrs Pearson. The address plays a significant role in the plot. At the beginning of the story arc, Hastings has just come back from South America and calls on Poirot, hoping that he can move back into "his old room" at the address. However Poirot is on the verge of travelling overseas on a commission from a businessman named Abe Ryland. Poirot's plans are however interuppted when a British secret service agent Mayerling breaks into his bedroom and dies there after muttering a few cryptic remarks about the "Big Four".

Much later in the story arc, in The Terrible Catastrophe, 14 Farraway Street is the scene of a bomb explosion.
