Acton, where aliens nest and The Joker was born
Yes, seriously - Acton. The Acton Lane Power Station was used for both the alien nest scene in Aliens (1986) and the Axis Chemicals set in Batman (1989) - where Jack Nicholson falls into a vat of acid and becomes The Joker.

Bromley’s alien too
...Though not quite as alien as an actual alien hive. In Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Bromley’s Old Town Hall masquerades as (drum roll) Ealing Art College, where Freddie Mercury studied Art & Graphic Design.

Batman returns...in Croydon
Christopher Nolan used the BT Delta Point building on Wellesley Road for The Dark Knight Rises (2012), believe it or not. He transformed it into Gotham General Hospital for a scene featuring Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy.

BAFTA winner made in Dagenham
Imagine a massive row with your boyfriend leading to starring in a movie alongside Michael Fassbender. That happened to teen Katie Jarvis. A casting agent spotted her yelling at her boyfriend across the platform of a train station and approached her about starring in Fish Tank (2009). The indie flick, which was shot around Orchard Village, formerly known as the Mardyke Estate, went on to win a BAFTA.

Comedy royalty at Eltham Palace
A stunning Art Deco mansion, it’s not surprising that Eltham Palace was used for scenes in TV series The Crown (it used to be home to actual royalty, after all), but the swanky location also doubles up as the iconic duo’s dressing room in Stan and Ollie (2018.)

Hampstead Heath’s scandalous past
Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett spend many a scene in Notes on a Scandal (2006) sitting on this bench in Hampstead Heath looking out over London. And can you blame them? It’s a beaut of a spot.

An iconic 90s rom com starring Gwyneth Platrow and arguably the most famous tube film ever, Sliding Doors (1998) was partly filmed at Fulham Broadway station. The other part was filmed at a tube station in an alternative universe.

A brief history of Harrow
Stephen Hawking may be responsible for one of history's most important discoveries, but the people behind his biopic The Theory of Everything (2014) actually bent the dimensions of space and turned Harrow School into Cambridge University.

Cats and Kubrick in Islington
Films that feature Islington’s streets include Kubrick’s twisty drama Eyes Wide Shut (1999), and A Street Cat Named Bob (2016), the true story about a street musician whose life was totally transformed when he met a stray ginger cat (who was played by several cats, including the actual Bob.)

Superheroes in the Square
If you happened to be walking through Trafalgar Square a couple of years ago, you will have stumbled across Gal Gadot, lots of actors dressed as WW1 soldiers, vintage cars and a massive film crew. That’s because the whole area was closed off for filming Wonder Woman (2017).

The service that broke us
The famous funeral scene from Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) that’s impossible not to cry at – the one when John Hannah recites the WH Auden poem – was partly filmed at St Clement’s Church in West Thurrock. It happens to be in the middle of an industrial state, hence this striking shot of everyone leaving the church with the massive plant behind them.

Speaking of Curtis - how could we not mention Notting Hill?
Just Rhys Ifans, standing in front of the house with the famous blue door in Notting Hill (1999)...in his underwear. 280 Westbourne Park Road actually used to belong to Richard Curtis, before he sold it to his sister-in-law, who sold the door on Christie’s for charity - according to Variety, it’s now in Devon somewhere.
