Dartford Crossing or Brighton Pavilion would be nice


Even bring back the bridge in Maidstone. At least it would be relevant to the region!

It was mainly cars and a few lorries when I watched, guessed they used it for longer than I had realised.

They had a generic backdrop at the time for the 2006 look

Bugs me too. They could've used the Swale or Medway, Canturbury or Rochester Cathedral, The Reculver Towers or the cliffs of Dover. Rather than an riverbank in London (The ITV Region)

Henley on Thames is in Oxfordshire, about 35 miles from London !

And the one part of Oxfordshire not served by Meridian, which makes it even more stranger.
