Errr dunno, maybe it's just there as a "look it's London" thing although it is deliberately confusing as the skyline is drawn from the perspective of south London rather than North, where Wormwood Scrubs is. Also how is the Westminster clock tower taller than The Shard? Surely that would have been mentioned somewhere when they built it.

Yeah I thought it was some kind of pit (with the lines giving it depth so it's not just a background) and he's doing his 'up up and away' pose, even though he's barely lifted and there's a hell of a long way to go
