Description: "London is one of the hottest spots in the world for film locations. Its history, architecture and famous landmarks have provided a backdrop for some of the most memorable cinematic moments in film history." "From much-loved movies of the 1940s and 1950s, such as The Blue Lamp and Passport to Pimlico, through the 1960s and films such as Blow Up and A Hard Day's Night, to contemporary movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Notting Hill and About a Boy, the city has seen it all. Location London also reveals how parts of London have even "doubled" as other locations - Moscow in GoldenEye and Ruislip Lido as the North Atlantic in A Night to Remember, for example." "Accompanied by locator maps, comprehensive biography boxes and Blue Plaque information, take a trip from the city's suburban parks to the heartland of Soho or the City and soak up London's buzzing film industry."--BOOK JACKET.
