London Film Locations: A self-guided walking tour

From Mary Poppins and Lawrence of Arabia to Harry Potter and Love Actually, London’s streets, skylines and iconic buildings have formed the backdrop for hundreds of films.

It’s hard to find a corner of the city which hasn’t appeared in film, but this self-guided walking tour takes you through some of the best London film locations. The walk covers almost five miles and takes around three hours, so grab your camera and follow me for a journey through time and space – all without leaving the streets of London.

The Painted Hall, decorated by Sir James Thornhill, and the Chapel are especially worth visiting as are the beautiful grounds.
