The bridge originally opened in 2000, but after experiencing heavy vibrations on opening day it was immediately closed down and didn't reopen until two years later after the installation of viscous fluid dampers to mitigate the problem. The bridge features a distinctive suspension design with the cables running underneath the walking surface due to height restrictions and to avoid blocking the view of St. Paul's Cathedral.

Real
Scene was shot in London, in the center of the city. This shot shows the attention to detail of the filmmakers. It was filmed in 2006, and in the background to the right of the cathedral dome we see the skyscraper The Shard, which was built only in 2009. It was added with computer graphics, having received models of the building from the builders. So the creators emphasized that the action takes place in the future, but they did not invent the look of the city, but predicted it.
