Depot Canal?


КАНАЛ ГРИБОЕДОВА (Griboyedov Canal) sign on a Depot warehouse.
Was Bond meant to have seen it in the previous Streets mission?
The canal area in the film is the РЕКИ МОЙКИ (Moyka River), near to the
БОЛЬШОЙ КОНЮШЕННЫЙ МОСТ (Bolshoy Konyushenny Bridge).
Following the road directly from the bridge would lead you across to the
НОВО-КОНЮШЕННЫЙ МОСТ (Novo-Konyushenny Bridge) and then on
to the ЦЕРКОВЬ СПАСА НА КРОВИ (Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood)
at the beginning of the КАНАЛ ГРИБОЕДОВА (Griboyedov Canal).


View of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood from the
Griboyedov Canal in St. Petersburg.


Although the church itself is not visible in the film,
St. Petersburg scenes were filmed in close proximity to it.


The same sign is visible in the film during the Tank Chase in
St. Petersburg. This shot in the film was captured on the
Leavesden set, which members of the Bond Team visited
several times during principal photography.
