INTRODUCTION

With ancient Hadrian’s Wall straddling the wild north, and the world’s biggest

indoor tropical rainforest located in the far south, England really is the ultimate

mix of old and new. Within a relatively short distance are windswept beaches and

dramatic coastal cliffs, rolling hills and wild national parks, buzzing cities, historic

market towns and traditional villages.

Iconic EnglandEngland is home to some of the most iconic sites in the world, including

Stonehenge, the honey-hued Georgian terraces of Bath, the grandeur of London’s

Big Ben and the towering peaks and glistening lakes of the Lake District. From the

enormous biomes of the Eden Project in Cornwall to Gormley’s majestic Angel of

the North in Newcastle, the country is covered from top to bottom with world-

famous sites to captivate filmmakers and viewers alike.

Royal EnglandFrom the House of Tudor and the absolute power of Henry VIII to the more visitor–

friendly House of Windsor of today, England’s royal legacy is inextricably woven

into the nation’s fabric. Explore the world-famous maze at Hampton Court Palace,

stroll the gardens at Sandringham and marvel at the magnificent state

apartments furnished with treasures in Windsor Castle.

Historic EnglandThe historic sites of England are as visually captivating as they are fascinating.

The elegant treasure-laden state rooms in Chatsworth House and Blenheim

Palace are hard to beat, while the fortified Dover Castle is one of the country’s

greatest castles. Discover the country’s maritime history in Southampton,

Portsmouth and Liverpool; learn of its bloody battles in Ludlow, Hadrian’s Wall

and Hastings; or explore its literary heritage in Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-

Avon, Dickens’ Rochester, Beatrix Potter’s Lake District and Enid Blyton’s Dorset.

Natural EnglandWith ten varied and expansive national parks, as well as forests, mountain ranges,

coasts and cliffs, England’s natural assets are some of its finest. This green and

pleasant land is not without drama either – just look at Dover’s welcoming White

Cliffs, the plunging Cheddar Gorge or the craggy topography of the Lake District.

Rugby World Cup2015 Host Cities

Facing the challenges of filming in LondonIconic landmarks, a chat with a celebrity, a stroll across the famous Abbey Road zebra crossing; London has so

much to offer in the way of filming opportunities. Although there may be a few hurdles to jump along the way, with

a little advance planning, international film crews visiting the capital can ensure the filming process runs smoothly.

• Everyone likes an organised work diary and London’s landmarks and venues are no different. Many places would

like at least five working days’ notice to arrange a film permit – giving two weeks’ notice is even better

• Full public liability insurance (PLI) worth at least £5million is essential for filming in most of London so crews

should ensure it is in place before making a request

• Check with the location whether they are happy to have tripods, lighting etc. Many locations prefer small

crews using hand-held equipment

• Major events – for example, the Chelsea Flower Show in late May or Wimbledon Tennis Championships in

late June/early July – may have broadcasting rights, so check first. However, there are great alternative

filming options that capture the essence of a particular event

• Celebrities, politicians, the Royal Family…everyone would love to meet them! The best first point of contact is

through official offices, publicists or management. VisitEngland can help point you in the right direction

• London’s shops make great filming locations but check with them for permission first

• Filming on the streets of London? The good news is that, in theory, your crew doesn’t need a permit, but bear

in mind this is open to interpretation and any member of the public can claim the crew is causing an

obstruction. To be on the safe side, you can apply for a Notice of No Objection

• Check with a location if you would like to film the interior and exterior – there may be different arrangements

for both

• Some of London’s streets and bridges cut across two boroughs; ask VisitEngland if they do and to find out

where to obtain permission for filming in both

• And don’t forget…VisitEngland has plenty of broadcast-quality, B-roll footage available of many of London’s

top spots – so if time is tight or permission is hard to obtain, this is a useful alternative

Film London is the capital’s film and media agency. It aims to ensure London has a thriving film sectorthat enriches the city’s businesses and its people.

Old Royal Naval College,(ORNC) GreenwichKing William Walk, Greenwich, London, SE10 9NN

A unique collection of Baroque buildings, the Old Royal Naval College wasdesigned by Wren as a home for retired seamen and sits on the site ofHenry VIII’s Greenwich Palace. Since the late 1990s, when the NavalOfficers college left the site, the ORNC has been open to the public free ofcharge welcoming over 1.7million visitors annually. As a film location theORNC offers spaces for a variety of different needs. External: traffic-freestreet (ideal for an escaping Jack Sparrow); open spaces (large enoughfor revolutionary barricades/intergalactic battles) and colonnades (periodbackdrop – fit for a Duchess). Internal: astonishing Painted Hall (banquetsin Pirates of the Caribbean 4 /The Iron lady and BBC’s Great British Menu)and the chapel (Four Weddings and A Funeral – Bernard and Lydia), aVictorian Skittle Alley and more.

It’s a fact:When approached to design a Royal Hospital for Seamen SirChristopher Wren initially proposed a single domed building (like theRoyal Hospital, Chelsea and his own St Paul’s Cathedral) which wouldhave been situated directly in front of Inigo Jones’s Queen’s House (nowpart of the Royal Museums of Greenwich). It was “suggested” to Wrenthat his new building should not block the royal view and consequentlythe Royal Hospital for Seamen acquired the now iconic twin domeswhich frame the vista from the Queen’s House to The Thames.

Filming on London’sBridgesLondon Bridge was the first bridge built across The River Thames andthere has been a crossing at or near its present site for nearly 2,000years. The most recent bridge to be built is the Millennium Bridge,completed in 2002.

Adjacent to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge is one of London’s mostfamous and distinctive landmarks and probably the best known of allLondon’s bridges. Considered as a masterpiece of Victorianengineering, the bridge crosses The Thames between Tower Hamlets tothe north and Southwark to the south. However, filming on the bridgeitself is controlled by the City of London.

The boundary line for boroughs on either side of The Thames runsthrough the middle of the river - splitting authority over London’sbridges in two. However, for filming purposes the majority of boroughshave agreed that one will take responsibility for an entire bridge.

GLOUCESTERPurton HulksGloucester, GL13 9HU

The strip of land forming the foreshore between the Gloucester andSharpness canal and the River Severn between Sharpness Old Arm andPurton is exposed to high fluctuating tides and has always beensusceptible to bank erosion. In the early part of the 20th century, oldbarges were dumped on the foreshore to prevent further bank erosionand protect the adjacent canal embankment. www.friendsofpurton.org.uk

The first barges were dumped there in 1909 and further craft wereadded up to the early 1970s. Each vessel was taken out of SharpnessDock on a high spring tide, towed by a tug towards the shore andreleased so that it charged up the bank as far as possible. Then holeswere knocked in the hull to allow subsequent tides to deposit silt inside.These barges were made from timber, steel and concrete. Also presenton the foreshore are seven formerly-ocean-going schooners.

Today the site is the largest ships’ graveyard in Britain, with 81 hulkscatalogued on the bank, of which 77 have been identified.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE (PLI)Public Liability Insurance provides cover for your production in respect of injury or property damage caused by the production’s activities. It is usual to have cover

up to £5million (recommended by UK Film Council).

All interior locations including attractions, museums, galleries, shopping malls etc. require crews filming on their premises/property to have Public Liability

Insurance and will not give permission to film until they’ve received a copy of the production’s Public Liability Insurance. All destinations require Public Liability

Insurance for exterior filming.

Generally crews that travel overseas frequently have Public Liability Insurance as part of their insurance package. Crews that travel overseas less frequently can buy

Public Liability Insurance as an add-on to cover a standalone trip.
