Bridget Jones and other movies in London

The Globe Tavern is one of the neatest buildings that I had seen in London. It is kind of located under a bridge but it is round. The door to the far left is where Bridget enters to get to her apartment that is located above the Tavern in both Bridget Jones' Diary movies. This spot is also thought to be where one of the 2 original Shakespeare Globe theatres were located.



The picture below is The Royal Courts of the Justice. Here I could see Bridgett running through the gates, past the attendant to confess her love to Mark Darcy in the second Bridgett Jones' movie. I got so tickled when we came upon it and I could actually visualize it. This happened shortly after she had been drenched by cars splashing water all over her.


The Somerset House was used in Sleepy Hollow. It was portrayed as old New York at the very end of the film. We watched the end of the movie when we got home to see the strong similarities but also you could see where the back drops ended and the actual building in the movie began.


This church was used in Shakespeare In Love. It was mainly the inside that was used but the outside was very attractive.


The Empire theatre was used as a reception area in Notting Hill. Not too much to see from the outside but it was fun to know that we were there. There was a whole section in our book of the area known as Notting Hill in which the movie was filmed but we never made it out there. Next time it is on my to do list. The book did say that the front door that was used by Hugh Grant's character has been sold, it was very popular after the movie and too many people were coming by to take pictures.


We also went to Regent's Park and walked around but could never find the spot that was used in The Wedding Date so we didn't take any pictures. There were many other movies that were filmed around London but we only concentrated on the movies that we really enjoyed and could recall scenery from.
