The scene was filmed at Battersea Power Station - a pair of coal-fired power stations built between 1929 and 1941, designed by architects J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott in the style of a brick cathedral with luxurious Art Deco interiors. The stations were closed in 1975 and stood vacant for over 35 years as various redevelopment plans failed. Redevelopment of the site finally began in 2013 when Malaysian developer and architect Frank Gehry, in partnership with Foster + Partners, restored the power station, turning it into offices that primarily house Apple's largest European offices, with over 4,000 homes on the adjacent site.
