Of course we had to start with this one! If you head to Gabriel’s Wharf and sit on the bench directly in front of The Wharf restaurant, you’ll be sat in the exact same spot as Daniel and Sam when they talk about the ‘total agony of being in love’. Though the scene isn’t totally accurate (they ‘moved’ St. Paul’s Cathedralto make it appear nearer), i...

Aside from posing in front of a brick wall, there are tons of other Pottery locations you can visit: the beautiful Leadenhall Market, which is the location they used for Diagon A...

In Four Weddings And A Funeral, you can catch him running along the South Bank, snogging Andie MacDowell outside his flat at 22 Highbury Terrace, or getting cold feet at Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great (named St Julian’...

The famous blue door, which leads to the home of William Thacker (aka Hugh Grant), can be found at 280 Westbourne Park Road. For a while the door was painted black because the owners didn’t like the attention their house was getting (I mean, who can really blame them?). However the door is now blue again, much to the pleasure of avid Notting Hillfa...

Phew!
Credit: @elyagri For this joyous romp through a day in the life of The Beatles, the film makers got pretty creative with MaryleboneStation, which features both as itself and Liverpool Lime Street station – a very short train ride indeed!
