I was just watching "Rose" on BBCAmerica and there is a scene before Rose and The Doctor encounter the Nestene Consciousness where the TARDIS lands on a walkway by the Thames and they cross a bridge.

There was a location that looked identical to this in "The Bells of St. John" right before Clara and The Doctor take off on the motorcycle and I was wondering if it was the same spot.

Narratively, it would make sense for the TARDIS to return to places where it had landed before (where it knows it is on dry land, in a safe place, not materializing in the middle of concrete, whatever) but I was wondering if someone was familiar enough with London to know whether this was the same location in Series 1 and Series 7. The episode breakdown isn't specific about this.
