Ah, sorry, you meant 'V For Vendetta' didn't you - I was thinking 'V'isitors! Still no Quatermass though :-)
The more obscure references are the dragon on Big Ben (which is a new straight to DVD steampunk Sherlock Holmes movie - that's actually a mechanical dragon), The Web Of Fear (which is what you might have mistaken for Quatermass - more Who I'm afraid), The Bed Sitting Room (St Pauls dome in the water), and the 'London 66' sign was from Reign Of Fire. And the rest should be reasonably guessable.
Having assayed media SF to the best of my not inconsiderable experience for shots of unmistakely genre do-ings juxtaposed with iconic London landmarks, the plain inescapable truth is that 90% of it is in Doctor Who (especially Nu-Who). The only serious suggestion for something it might be missing was Kitten Kong from The Goodies.
