8. Embankment, The River Thames | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This area has remained largely untouched except for one minor change..... The London Eye! The huge ferris wheel style ride has been constructed right where this scene was filmed. This gives you an excellent birds-eye view of the location: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9. The Palladium | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A 2,280 seat theatre designed by Frank Mitchem in 1910, very little has changed at the Palladium. The play that was showing during our visit was "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." It is worth noting that during this show they leave The Palladium opting for The Scala Theatre instead. |

10. Scala Theatre | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Originally I thought that they referred to the theatre as 'The Scarlet Theatre' which lead us in the wrong direction. When I received a TV Guide we found that it is in fact called "The Scala Theatre." Now with the right name I was able to get somewhere. The theatre was originally built in 1772 and went under a few name changes including 'Regency Theatre' from 1815 and 'Prince of Wales (Royal) Theatre' from 1865. It became the 'Scala Theatre' in 1905 but sadly closed in 1969 and was demolished in 1972. The site is now 'Scala House' and is located at 21 Tottenham Street, W1.
