We did visit the other London locations on our list, and by the end of a very long, hard-working day we did all of them. They were all stunning locations and looked very cinematic, but we just didn't think that they fitted in with what we were trying to do. St Dunstan-in-the-East looked particularly spectacular, as it was an Anglo-Saxon church that was bombed in the blitz and has now been converted into a garden, with benches and a small fountain. It was a really good location, but it just wasn't what we wanted for our action film. It would of worked very well in a romance or a horror film, but for what we were trying to do in the opening two minutes it just wasn't right.
Canary Wharf was also a very stunning location, as it would have looked very sleek and modern in our film. The station was very modern and looked incredible, but I think that for our film Trafalgar Square is the better bet. Another location to bear in mind for future film projects!
We may yet film on the Hungerford Bridge for a few shots, but this will be decided if we need another location. It would just be for a simple phone conversation, nothing too extravagant, but it looked really good - a mixture of modern architecture and old fashioned industrial railway.
