A world beyond the screen

Enter 28 Days Later through five places that carry its atmosphere, from Westminster to Docklands, without confusing story geography with production fact.

Jim’s walk across an emptied bridge is the film’s impossible declaration that London has stopped. From there, Horse Guards Parade changes the rhythm before Canary Wharf supplies the final afterimage; doubles, altered sites and public access are labelled at the point they matter.
