Notes

• Trivia: Based on the background of the ending scene in Episode 4x01 - "Tempus" featuring the River Thames, a railway line that crosses the river, and St Paul's Cathedral, the rooftop that James Watson and Future-Helen Magnus are standing on may be that of Sion Hall. The real rooftop however is slanted/pitched, not flat with a parapet and chimney stacks.
  • The flat roof with chimney stacks is just a fictitious set. The only thing that matches the actual building is that the parapet is made of red brick; Sion Hall is almost completely comprised of a red brick exterior.
