Stay at a boutique hotel inspired by the ‘golden age of cinema’
A charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the West End – just yards from the home of British cinema, Leicester Square – Victory House’s interiors take inspiration from the 1950s ‘golden age of cinema’. If there’s a red-carpet movie premier in town, chances are you’ll spot all the action from one of the hotel’s sophisticated suites. What’s more, you’ll find a black and white projection of actors, celebrities and VIPs attending past London premieres on every floor of the venue. victoryhouselondon.com
Visit the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich
Situated within the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage site, the Old Royal Naval College is a 500-year-old historic and cultural London landmark with numerous connections to the film world – in fact, Empire branded it ‘the most popular filming location in the world’. Dating back as far as 1958 when Indiscreet was filmed in the world-renowned Painted Hall, the college has served as a filming location for an impressive array of series and pictures including Les Misérables, Pirates of the Caribbean and more recently posed as a substitute for Buckingham Palace in The Crown. Book an exclusive 60-minute Film & TV Location Tour of the venue to see the film locations for yourself. ornc.org
Channel Anna Scott in Notting Hill and dine at Nobu Old Park Lane
For fans of Notting Hill (the film, not the district), Mayfair’s celebrated Nobu Old Park Lane is a must-visit. The glamorous A-list haunt – which serves up an eclectic style of Japanese-Peruvian cuisine – featured in the iconic cult classic when Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) inadvertently hears a table of men bad-mouthing her. noburestaurants.com

Escape to the 1920s at Leicester Square’s movie-inspired Hotel Indigo
For a taste of 1920s glamour in the heart of theatreland, book a stay at the art-deco-fashioned Hotel Indigo.
