A view of the towers at begining of the sequence

Steed (Patrick Macnee) and Gambit (Gareth Hunt) on their way to the tower. The fence is now covered with shrubbery. (Note: this view is along the circular path with the fence on the left belonging to the Thames Water reservoir)
Picture
Steed walks towards the entrance of the tower.(Note: The door has many panels - so it is not the current metal door)
Picture
Purdey (Joanna Lumley; her arm) in the tower. Of course this is probably studio or elsewhere. The steel pillars are not in the tower.

One of the villains keeps watch

Gambit jumps into the tower through one of the windows. Studio of course. The production team were clever enough to recreate the right type of window.
