Poirot (for instance) usually seems to have a cord round his neck and chest. Does anyone know what this would be for?

It could be, but it seems to go rather far down.

To me it looks like a spectacle cord that is long enough to stay a bit loose when the spectacles are tucked in an inside pocket that may swing forward a bit.

Ah, that could be it - thanks!

Further investigation confirms a spectacle cord:
