LOCATION: 142 Fleet St, London EC4A 2BP, UK

Theo Faron, played by Clive Owen, is seen exiting the coffee shop and stopping in this area to add whisky to his drink.

The camera continues to a reverse view and the explosion is seen from this perspective. The building directly across the street from the coffee shop location has since been demolished, but the other buildings in the background still match up.
