Congestion Charge Avoiding Fiat 500 Twin Air

I've just come across the video on YouTube of the new Fiat 500 Twin Air, which has the lowest-emission petrol engine in the world, and thus gets a 100% rebate on the London congestion charge. It shares this distinction with a few other vehicles (the full list is here) but it does have the advantage of being a tiny little car, which is ideal if you insist on driving around in central London (not that I advocate that idea you understand - personally I prefer the tube or shank's pony when I'm in the West End, and cars are the main reason that we don't have a thriving cafe culture in the centre of town if you ask me).



Now its clear that they've added the congestion charge-avoiding slogan as a bit of an afterthought, because the streets that the car is driving through definitely aren't in London. When we saw this at the cinema two weeks we guessed Berlin (the large civic building at 7 seconds certainly *looks* German, as does one of the office blocks a little later on). I'd be really interested to hear what you think about the filming locations... I wonder where they were shot?
