Okay, I'm in London, and have the following clues:

IS SOUTH of the detective shop.
IS A MAN.
IS EAST of the detective shop.
IS close to the river.


Using this, I can get down to the following:


Pierre Bagot, the Concierge - male

* IS A MAN
* IS SOUTH of the detective shop
* IS EAST of the detective shop
* IS CLOSE to the river

Bernie, Ells, the Bartender - male

* IS A MAN
* IS SOUTH of the detective shop
* IS EAST of the detective shop
* IS close to the river


They're........identical! I don't really want to screw up on what I think is the last hurdle! Is there any way out for me beyond guessing?

Yes, wait for your fifth clue :)

The clues will always narrow it down to one option. So just hang on.

Keep on, dear boy. After a number of hiccups Ben (genuflects) has worked it so you will always get enough clues.

Excelsior!
