Hint : The compass on the wall reads :
Hong Kong 10453 miles
Buenos Ayres 6914 miles
Cape town 11033 miles
...

What a shame such a beautiful town doesn't have better images on GE/GM!  Cool story behind the subject, though.

Now, that gives me a headache, I cannot find any place on Earth that corresponds to all these three figures. Maybe they are nautical distances?
Update: Yes, they clearly are

Oooohhhhhh yes, thanks hhgygy , those are distances for ships indeed. Let's make it easier then, so you are looking for a well-known harbour :

As the crow flies :

Hong Kong 8041 miles / 6988 nautical miles
Buenos Ayres 5274 miles / 4583 nautical miles
Cape town 7634 miles / 6334 nautical miles

Oops, I think I chose the wrong word: I wanted to say the distance to be travelled by ship instead of the distance as the crow flies, not "nautical miles". But I live in a landlocked country, sorry
