Trinity Square Filming
5th January 2012
Strolling the streets, reporters at HeyYouGuys noticed odd activity on Trinity Square in East London. They came across the now-familiar green and black "B23" arrow that indicates filming on "Skyfall" is taking place. Security was characteristically tight but a few snaps of the outside revealed that the impressive building was surrounded in unmissable white screens and 50 kilowatt lights. The setup indicates that the scenes taking place inside will not necessarily be set against a normally-quiet London street - perhaps somewhere more exotic. The building itself, now high-class apartments, used to house the London Port Authority in the eighteenth century. The LPA designed this grand building by tendering the project to a few aspiring architects and received 170 submissions. The winning design, by Edwin Cooper in a Beaux Arts style, has been preserved and restored to the best of today's ability.
