In the 1960s, London is depicted with a recurrent theme of smog covering its skyline, as well as scenes of bustling river and street traffic, notably with boats and barges navigating the Thames River. Iconic landmarks like Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey are frequented by cars, pedestrians, and tourists. People are shown engaging with various buildings in the city, such as the large columned structure, India House, and the Olde Curiosity Shop. In a shift of focus, there are detailed laboratory scenes involving the dissection of a grasshopper, highlighting various parts of its anatomy with tweezers, observing its movements, and even depositing its fluids on microscope slides.
