Location Conveniences

As we're on location, it is important to think of all the facilities that we will need to keep going all day. The actors wont be very happy without refreshments, meals and toilets! Also it must have ease of access, so that we can get straight there. Seeming as our only location is Trafalgar Square, I will only be working this out for that location.

Toilets: - Conveniently there are male and female toilets in the middle of Trafalgar Square, and they are very high quality. There are also lifts to easily access them, and in case any of our crew are hurt, as well as baby changes in case there are any abrupt pregnancies. If these are closed then there are toilets in the National Art Gallery, and the nearby cafes.

Food: There are a lot of cafes and fast food restaurants nearby where the cast and crew can buy their own food. A McDonalds is five minutes walk away towards Leicester Square, and there is a Cafe Nero  on one of the corners of the square. In addition to these there are many restaurants around the area, but I doubt we'll be going to any of them. Conveniently, there is a cafe in the middle of the square, and this provides reasonably cheap food, so for just a quick snack it will be good.

Security: There is always one security guard around Trafalgar Square, so if some local felons attempt to disturb our film making there is security on site. Unfortunately this is also a downside, as it means we cannot go all out on the fight sequences.

Transport: The  closest station to Trafalgar Square is Charing Cross, which exits directly into the square. It can be reached from London Waterloo by taking the Northen Line North two stops. London Waterloo is easy to access as Ashtead Station is five minutes away from my house, and London Waterloo is a few stops away.

Hospitals: St Thomas's Hospital is reasonably close to Trafalgar Square, as it is the other side of Westminster Bridge. This means that if any of our crew is hurt, attacked or decapitated then there's a hospital close at hand.
