London Shoot 18.1.09 (Appendix 27)

We travelled up to London on the Sunday last week. Despite initial problems for Adam and Joe not being able to catch a train from Tunbridge Wells due to engineering works at the station. I was on time and was able to catch a bus to Tonbridge and Will would catch that train from Sevenoaks. Due to the unexpected problems, Joe would meet us there as he missed the Bus and would have to wait 45 minutes for the next one.

At that time Joe arrived, it was around mid-day, we planned to begin filming at around dusk (4:30-5:00)
Walking to reccied destinations, to confirm the suitability of each one. We then reconvened to a different destiantion until our allotted time to film arrived.
4:30 came around so we proceeded to our first location : Bedford Court and then filmed on May's Court both small roads and well lit alleys near Covent garden.
We then went back toward The Strand and Durham House Street where we shot our stair sequence leading to the chase. The Chase commences through this road, onto John Adam Street and then onto York Buildings. From there we stumbled across an underground road leading onto Watergate Walk behind the Savoy Hotel. We shot a running scene using the scaffolding connected to the Savoy's rear entrance. We then stopped filming in the quiet back roads, and walked a short distance to the Victoria Embankment. Joe pitched up with the Camera and tri-pod at the Savoy Pier near the War Memorial to film Will and I running across the bridge adjacent to the London Eye.
Once that sequence was completed, we walked to get the train on the path connecting the bridge to Charing Cross Station. There was a small corridor that seemed perfect as a location, we decided to film there for an additional option insert into our chase.
After this we were finished...we got on the train and watched what we had spend the past 3 hours flming.
