indeedsir_backupYes, I'm up at an ungodly hour, surfing for stuff, and I've found a few useful writery links for folks.
First off, a floor plan for Bertie's flat from the TV show. If you wanted to use the Fry and Laurie show as canon, here's an excellent place for plotting character movement -- chairs to trip over, closets to hide in, and all. The only thing this is lacking is Jeeves's Lair. One wonders if he doesn't simply dematerialize briefly while Bertie is asleep. Of course, there's a small space down at the bottom right corner behind the kitchen that probably leads to a pocket dimension where Jeeves actually lives. There is accompanying discussion of the layout (and the lack of Jeevesian abode) here. None of the discussants actually comes out and suggests that Jeeves sleeps with Bertie, more's the pity.
Although it's written for female domestic servants, The Up-to-Date Waitress was written about 1920 for a domestic servant who would have to take care of most of the stuff Jeeves has to do for Bertie. Some of this stuff is pretty bizarre and makes you wonder how the hell anyone ever had time to breathe. We do know, after all, that Jeeves does pretty much all of Bertie's food service and takes care of the kitchen and whatnot.
And if you want to know where all the canon locations in Wodehouse are, here's a Wiki list that explains who lives where and something about the places for your edification.

3) Well, Bertie does like to eat out, and the flat is pretty tiny, though large for London (maybe?). Don't think it's too much for Jeeves to handle. ^^ Definitely keep him busy, though.
