Stars in Town

A wet and cold evening on Southbank did not dampen the spirits of fans who were there to cheer the stars of RED at its premiere as part of the BFI film festival.
Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren were charming and funny spending time signing autographs and shaking hands.

Celebrity Tour

What recording studio is this? Where did Pink Floyd perform their first gig? Where did Jimi Hendrix OD? Want to see film locations from Notting Hill, Alfie, Help?
Where does Robbie Williams Live? Or maybe you'd like to see Elle McPherson's pad.
That Banksy that cost £250,000. Where did Johnny Depp and Kate Moss bathe in Mumm?

Jamie from Celebrity Tours is a walking encyclopedia of pop culture history, film locations, celebrity hangouts and trivia.
What has replaced the hippodrome? You're just going to have to ask Jamie.

Mary and Wiliam

So here we are at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich. On the left is the Queen Mary Court where you'll find the chapel. The Painted Hall can be found in King Williams Court on the right.
You knew that right?
Ha - but did you know that Laura Croft Tomb Raider was filmed here in 2001. Or that Wolf Man was filmed here. How about The Mummy Returns or Spooks. Well now you do. Drop that bit of trivia into your next conversation about the place.

Hogwarts Express

The other day I boarded Hogwarts Express, squeezed by the night bus, visited the third hand book shop, dodged the death eaters and more.
Who said 'it was the food'. What was the context and where was he?

Harry Potter fans, Dr Who fans, maybe 007 is more your style. So many movies are made right here in London filmed on location that you can visit and get the inside story.

My voyage with Britmovie Tours was fabulous. Val was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The small groups make the tours more intimate and give you a chance to ask loads of questions.
