Ark of Arts (interior)
Scene was shot The Tate Modern is a modern art gallery that opened in 2000 and is the second most popular museum in England just behind the British Museum, hosting over 5.8 million visitors annually. The museum was constructed in the decommissioned Bankside Power Station, a coal & oil power plant in operation from 1891 to 1981. After the plant was shut down there were several attempt to get the building listed on the historic register but they were denied. The Tate Group acquired the building in 1994 and spent around £134 million converting it into the museum.

Bridge to Ark of Arts
Scene was shot The Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian span linking Bankside in front of the Tate Modern to the City of London. 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.

Ark of Arts (exterior)
Scene was shot Battersea Power Station is a pair of coal power plants constructed between 1929–41 by architects J. Theo Halliday & Giles Gilbert Scott in the brick cathedral style with lavish Art Deco interiors. The stations closed in 1975 and stood vacant for over 35 years as various redevelopment plans fell through. Redevelopment of the site finally began in 2013 with a Malaysian-backed developer and architect Frank Gehry partnered with Foster + Partners to restore the power station into offices primarily housing Apple's largest European offices and add over 4,000 homes to the land surrounding the facility.
