I didn't even think about the timeline.  What struck me odd about that scene was the fact that they were flying *north* over the Thames. I believe the Leaky Cauldron (and, therefore Diagon Alley and Gringott's bank) is supposed to be located on Charing Cross Road.  I only spent 12 hours in London and didn't see much of it, but I did see the Eye, and did see Charing Cross Road, and they are not on the same side of the river.
