Shanghai Knights - Somerset House, London

Somerset House is a large neoclassical building in central London, overlooking the River Thames, just east of Waterloo Bridge. Sounds like the perfect location for the closing scene of a movie set in the late 19th century. Unfortunately, the building's courtyard was full of people and stuff ruining the nice 19th century feeling but the building itself looks just like in the movie.













Shanghai Knights - Abingdon Street, London

The villain's car leaving House of Lords. We get to see a nice view of Old Palace Yard including a bit of Westminster Abbey on the left and Houses of Parliament (partly covered in scaffolding) on the right.




Shanghai Knights - Hluboká Castle, Hluboká nad Vltavou

During its vibrant history, Hluboká Castle was rebuilt several times. It reached its current appearance during the 19th century, when Johann Adolf II von Schwarzenberg ordered the reconstruction of the castle in the romantic style of England's Windsor Castle.
For Shanghai Knights, the driveway to the castle wasn't romantic enough, so they built some additional walls and turrets. The castle including its inner courtyard is a tourist hotspot leaving zero chance for me to get pictures without other visitors photobombing them.
