Gaff in The Crown, Buses on The Mall
Episode 5 of the new series of the Crown has a few sequences showing Buckingham Palace from the top deck of a Routemaster full of passengers. As Buses Coaches and Commercial Vehicles are banned from the roads inside St James's Park this is of course impossible. I doubt if TfL buses are allowed to go past the front of the Palace even in situations caused by even the worst of London traffic incidents.

The footage must be artificially produced and highlights the inaccuracy and poor attention to detail evident in much of The Crown.
