    I am a big fan of London and come over two or three times a year and always I find it very interesting to see my favourite town in a movie. So maybe it would be of interest for some other moviefans to list old and new movies with London locations.



    At the moment the following films are in my mind:



    10 Rillington Place

    Brannigan

    Frenzy

    Sherlock Holmes

    Jack the Ripper (Michael Cane)



    Any more ideas?

    The 'Film Locations' section covers many of these.

    You are all right. And indeed there are thousands of films - which I hadn't expected! I just browsed through IMDB (which I should have done before posting!). They list with filming location London exactly 7.875 titles.

    Sabotage has my favourite London locations simply because it's the only Hitchcock film to feature (for a nanosecond) a building I used to work in

    Ed Harris was in "National Treasure:Book of Secrets" shot partly in London.
