The Film London website provides film location information on a month by month search. and a quick location of the month.Its a site which is more for the film industry I think.
Movie London provides an interactive map, but you click on the location and see by chance which films were there, rather than being able to type in the film and find location, with description and photos and perhaps a clip?. Nevertheless you can spend a good half hour clicking, before you realise you are not really finding what you were looking for.
The best article I found was from BBC news which reported on a tube map which lists films shot at or near the London stations in the past 70 years; Passengers can brush up on their knowledge of cinema by looking at a Tube map where stations have been changed to films shot at the locations.The map has been produced by film and media agency Film London, BFI London Film Festival and Transport for London.
Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London, said: "On average there are approximately 35 crews shooting on location in the capital every day and that wealth of film-making can be seen in this wonderful Underground Film Map.
"From the obvious titles such as Bourne Ultimatum at Waterloo Station and V for Vendetta blowing up the Houses of Parliament at Westminster, to the more surprising including The Dark Knight's Batcave in Vauxhall and An Education filming in Walthamstow, this map plots out the capital's credentials as one of the world's most popular film cities."
Unlike the regular Tube map, the cinematic version cannot be picked up from a station but is on sale at the BFI at Southbank, London Transport Museum, and online from TfL.
