K-On - London Attractions

And finally here's some more tourist attractions in London shown in the K-On movie.

This is outside 221B Baker Street.





Image from K-On movie - 60m48s


Where the Sherlock Holmes museum is located. I got these pictures early in the morning before it opened.





I also got a picture from when it was open, but there were too many other people here to try to get a really good matching shot.





Image from K-On movie - 60m55s


Abbey Road Crossing where I also got a Kinmoza shot.





Image from K-On movie - 60m50s


They also show these buildings right next to Abbey Road Crossing in the movie.





Image from K-On movie - 69m19s


This blurry shot is of the ticket office for Tower of London.

Towards Tower of London itself.

And the girls sitting down outside on this bench.

The Shard skyscraper was still under construction when the movie was made, but it's been finished now.





Image from K-On movie - 69m54s


View of Tower Bridge. This is not London Bridge as some people think.





Image from K-On movie - 69m58s


This is a view at Tower Pier in the River Thames. You could probably get a better matching shot with a drone or something.





Image from K-On movie - 70m00s


The buildings in the background are the same. I didn't get a shot from the actual bench since there were lots of people sitting there.





Image from K-On movie - 79m44s


And finally a shot of Butler's Wharf Pier taken from Tower Bridge. I've marked the location of the pier in the map below.
