A&E's main clients

Among the flaws in the apparent Haymarket bomb plot was its assumption that the scene outside a London nightclub would be nice and quiet, with little chance of there being emergency personnel around dealing with other matters. How many pubs/nightclubs has this bomber been to?

UPDATE: Indeed, a second flaw in the apparent Haymarket bombplot was its assumption that an illegally parked car would not quickly come to the attention of traffic wardens. How many times had this bomber actually parked a car on a London street? --

The first device, also planted in a Mercedes, was discovered by chance when an ambulance crew working in the area noticed smoke coming from the car shortly before 2am.

Around half an hour later traffic wardens issued a ticket to the second Mercedes on Cockspur Street and arranged for it be be towed to the holding car park near Hyde Park.
