About this experience
Step beyond the screen and into the streets that built London's film legacy. This isn't just a tour of filming locations; it's a deep dive into the duality of the city's cinematic identity. From the gritty, counter-cultural history of Soho's Prince Charles Cinema to the hidden 17th-century alleys that inspired Harry Potter's magical world, and finally to the grand architectural chameleon of Somerset House. Join us to uncover how 'Real London'—with its night-soil collectors and industrial film rows—morphed into the 'Fantasy London' of Bond, Poppins, and wizards. Discover the hidden mechanics of the industry, the fight to save independent cinema, and the architectural secrets that turn brick and mortar into movie magic.
