No Shoes, but I remember when I used to work in Gosport, one of the transformers films was filming a few scenes at the local museum there and not too far from my work place.

Quite a few Four Lions and This Is England '86 TV series are probably the most recent. And that silly documentary about a brothel.

So many but it’s London, so lots get shot here including Star Wars, it’s fun spotting the places (especially the really local ones) when they pop up on screen.

There's several things made near me because of Ely Cathedral, the old buildings and the river. Even the auction house for one of the auction programmes once. They've recently been filming for a new film called Harvey Greenfield is Running Late.

St Albans Registary office near me has the door that was used as the entrance to Slade Prison (Porridge)

Before it was sold & demolished my mum's house where I grew up was used as the children's home in Judge John Deed.
