With awards season in full swing, and The King’s Speech picking up an award or a nomination on what seems like a daily basis, we started thinking about other movies filmed in London.

We asked our Facebook followers which London film locations they’ve visited.

Harry Potter film locations such as King’s Cross Station (Platform 9 3/4) and Charing Cross Road (the Leaky Cauldron pub) were popular, as well as sites from romantic comedies Notting Hill (the Travel Bookshop) and Bridget Jones’s Diary (Borough Market).

We also found out that The May Fair hotel features in Matt Damon’s new film, Hereafter – catch it in cinemas now.

Film London have launched an interactive movie map, and they want your help updating it!

The Google Map contains the locations of more than 100 films shot in London. So pick a genre and watch as hearts, UFOs or skulls pop up all over London, then click to find out what was filmed there.

Whether you’re after the travel bookshop in Notting Hill, the park visited by Jude Law and Natalie Portman in Closer, or Simon Pegg’s house in Shaun of the Dead, you’ll find it here.

The plan is to keep the map updated with new locations and films. Film London are keen to hear your suggestions so drop them a line on lovefromlondon@filmlondon.org.uk

The Love From London movie map is available at www.filmlondon.org.uk/LoveFromLondon
