As Kate is walking to the restaurant, she is wearing black high heels. After the incident at Hyde Park, she's suddenly wearing beige high heels.
The City of London Skyscraper, 122 Leadenhall, AKA 'The Cheesegrater' is shown in a flyby establishing shot. Next comes an interior office with a view of the City skyline in which 122 Leadenhall is missing, not yet constructed.
(at around 40 mins) Two characters are watching London through binoculars, 1 with gloves, 1 without. The bare-handed guy hands the gloved one the binoculars, and the next shot is a close-up of these, but the hands are bare; next shot has the gloved hands lowering the binoculars again.
Just after Kate has ran down the staircase, a police car is seen sliding to a stop. The car is a new white F10 BMW 5 series. The next shot shows the officers getting out of an older Grey E60 5 series police car.
When Kate checks in for Oceanic Airlines flight OA784 to Paris the time at the check-in desk is shown as 08:42 and she is told 'Your flight boards in 15 minutes' but when Sally and Maureen Crane (The Ambassador) are trying to find out which flight she is on the departure time for the flight is shown as 13:21.
After the restaurant explosion, the men in charge of the investigation comment that they wouldn't be able to find any information from the security cameras as they were fried by the explosion.
Anyone with minimal knowledge of how security camera works knows that there is no information to extract from the camera itself, since the footage is stored on a server's hard drive in a secure location.
It seems the writers of this movie are technologically inept.
Kate Abbott goes to the airport and buys a plane ticket from London to New York on the busiest travel time of the year without any problems. So does the "watchmaker".
The CAC identification card used by government employees does not have any sort of 'tracking' chip. The chip that the bad guys hacked to enable them to track Adams was just the normal chip with security credentials (authentication and encryptions keys).
Nash's Steyr HS .50 cal sniper rifle has a characteristic 'floating barrel' which aids accuracy. Nash, on two occasions, lays the barrel itself on a wall to make a shot - no experienced sniper or shooter would do such.
The Times Square New Year's Eve ball is nor pressurised (like the sphere used in the test explosion), so would not explode in the same way. Thus, since the ball is positioned high above Times Square, it is doubtful if it would harm the crowd below.
At the end of the staircase scene there's an audible comment: "Good shot."
Just after the explosion in the restaurant and Kate Abbott is asking for help we see Nash pull a gun on her. Kate Abbott runs back into the gift shop and battles to get the rear fire exit open. However one shot the door clearly has US style locks on it including a "Gemmy Proof" lock which are rare in the UK. After she gets out and door swings open you can see the one of the locks is missing.
During the scenes on the London Underground that are supposed to be at King's Cross St Pancras the rolling stock are of Jubilee type carriages that do not run to that station. It is filmed on old platforms at Charing Cross Underground station. Also the famous LU "Roundel" sates "Kings Cross", the station is always stated as "Kings Cross St Pancras".
When the American ambassador is discussing outcomes with the UK Home Office, there is an agreement to kill Abbot. This would not be allowed under UK law and least of all the murder on UK soil of an American diplomat.
When Parker visits the site of the restaurant explosion, a policeman allows him to enter the cordon after showing his credentials. The site is a crime scene and no one would be allowed to enter unless authorised, least of all an American citizen with only a diplomatic credential.
In the opening seconds of the film, the first shot shows a helicopter flying in dark nighttime under a full moon.
A caption gives this as being at 5.02AM (UTC).
This would be 9.32AM local time in Kandahar Province, and so would be daytime.

It is suggested that Abbot could have evaded security more easily by taking the Eurostar. The train is subject to the same security as an airport but would have been easier to stop and arrest en route.
The beginning scenes of the move give times as UTC and GMT. While they can be interchanged, doing so in the movie is confusing and unnecessary.
After the explosion at the restaurant, the ram that flips the car onto its roof is clearly visible behind the front wheel.
Just after the explosion at the cafe, there is a silver Audi that gets blown over in the explosion. As it lands you can clearly see the gas fired cylinder "ejection" piston that forces cars to roll in SFX.
When Nash is tracking Abbot through the London streets, his phone shows her inside the library at the north end of Queen Square. One minute previously the viewer sees Kate enter Talbot's home at the south end of Queen Square, nowhere near the library.
The explosion at the block of flats is followed by a scene in Ambassadors office with a TV news report of gas explosion in Tower Hamlets. This was filmed at the Heygate Estate that is in the London Borough of Southwark not Tower Hamlets.
There is no reason for Emil Balan to go to New York himself, since all he does is supervise pre-measured mixtures of the gas. He could easily provide this information from the UK, and thus avoid applying for a Visa to visit the USA in the first place.
Although the US Embassy with its presumably superior equipment cannot track Kate's damaged GPS sender continuously, Nate seems to be able to do so with just a cell phone, including to a place below the London Underground where there is no signal.
For allegedly being very good at 'field craft' and certainly familiar with all technological means of locating and identifying people; Kate never tries to alter her appearance (well, except for the "Clark Kent" glasses in the airport) to fool visual observation.
The London cinema employee who lends Kate a mobile phone tells her 'local call only'. There is no such thing as a 'local call' on a UK mobile phone network, so no British person would say that.
(at around 1h 11 mins) When Kate (Mila) is searching for information on her laptop, "Pharmaceutical" is very noticeably misspelled "Pharmacuetical".
When the watchmaker uses a soldering iron on a small chip, the solder covers several contact pins. A person with the skills required to build watches/bombs would be able to solder much better than this.
At one point, a British character refers to a criminal offence of 'deadly assault'. There is no such offence in English law.
