I've just seen the Knight bus parked outside the Guildhall (in London) on my way into work! They had two of them. One was in two pieces with no frills on it & the other was complete and had curtains & other accessories on it. It was behind some barriers but I was able to get about three metres away from it. Sadly the height of the bus & the crapness of my eyesight prevented me seeing inside properly. There was no-one around except for construction guys & Guildhall security staff - all of whom looked puzzled/amused at my showing any interest whatsoever in it!

Just had a phone call from Jenny to say that they are filming scenes for the latest movie near St Paul's at the moment. Something involving a statue and the invisibility cloak. She's there with her dad & he's taking a few pictures so she may be able to post them up for you at some point. If you're London based & keen on hanging around film sets then now (currently 11:20 GMT) is a good time to get over there!
These are Jenny's photos from the filming. Thanks for the link, Jenny.

Sean Biggerstaff has confirmed on his website that Oliver Wood will not be putting in an appearance in the third movie.
