Tube Map of films shot there, help 'em out

This is the Lovefilm tube map of films shot near these stations. Not only is it seemingly inaccurate in places (Sliding Doors was in West London surely, and since when did the Bakerloo line go to Stevenage?

Can we add to it? Can I make the suggestion of Repulsion for South Ken?

How do we add to it? Russell Square for "Posession" - all those BM/UCL shots nearby.

in Metroland it's hard to tell which stations they filmed scenes at Christian Bale appears to walk over what looks like the Ruislip station bridge but it could be Chesham or Chalfont & Latimer. i am going to Chesham in a couple of weeks and will report back.

Yes, 2001 was MGM at Borehamwood as my mum was working there at the time. There is a photo of my brother on the big wheel walky round thing wot the stewardess walkys round. It does not show the massive hydralics to make it work which is a pity.

Blow up was sooo shot in chelsea

Oh yeah. Well there wasn''t a tube map that time.

I should tell more tales about my mums time at MGM. That nice man Patrick Magooghan and his tippinmg of the hat, and David Niven flirting with the typing pool.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

Was Sunday Bloody Sunday filmed in Lewisham? According to Mike Jones on that other thread its mostly Greenwich.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

'blow up' was shot all over, but the park is where lovefilm sez it is.

That tube map is crazying my BRANE.

I hope they do extend the Bakerloo line like that, it would be great. But another stop between London Bridge and Elephant seems a bit much.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Crouch End films don't fit on this map by virtue of not having a Tube, innit?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

early hitch
the serpentine (or is it battersea park boating pond) in the one w.the bomb

'the man who knew too much' ('34) has bits in whitechapel. a lot of his early stuff was at gainsborough in islington. the cinema in 'sabotage' is (i think) now a petrol station on upper street.

― NR_Q, Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

2 bits from imdb about an american werewolf in london :

The London Underground station used in the film is Aldwych. It was closed in 1994. It is kept in pristine condition and is available to rent as a large film set for period dramas, pop videos etc. Other films have also used this station.

The tube station used in the film is (or is dressed as) Tottenham Court Road, Northern Line branch. The sign for Tottenham Court Road can clearly be seen in some shots.

they can't both be right!

― hornseylido (gareth), Thursday, 10 March 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

mark s have i met you? its all about the tunnels under london????

― piscesboy, Thursday, 10 March 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

um maybe we met i don't know?

all i meant wz you can walk from aldwych to TCR by underground tunnels w/o having to board a train (probably), so it isn't nec a error!!

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 10 March 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

the thing says "dressed as" TCR: probably they shot the actual tube bits at aldwych and street-level exteriors at TCR.

― NR_Q, Thursday, 10 March 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

no no its just that i regularly have conversations with people about those *other* tunnels :

― piscesboy, Thursday, 10 March 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

I swear there is a tunnels under London thread... either Ed or I would have started it...

i read that as 'filmed in aldwych which was made to look like TCR for the occasion'

there's an old b&w police file, the blue lamp or something, with a car chase that ends up in White City Stadium. (the Blue Lamp, yes: http://www.famouslocations.com/movies/bluelampthe1949.php)
