Iconic Film Location, Tower Bridge to Host a Filming Showcase

Thursday, September 19, 2024 - 16:15

Tower Bridge is undoubtedly one of London’s most iconic landmarks and truly memorable event spaces. As such a prominent part of the city’s skyline, the Bridge has repeatedly been popular with Film Location Scouts and has featured in numerous films and TV shows over time, dating right back to early black and white movies, as well as more recent features…

In one of the most famous rom-com film series of all-time, Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) and its sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004), we see Bridget walking across the bridge as part of her daily commute into work from her coveted Borough Market flat. In stark contrast, in Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), the Bridge provides the dramatic backdrop to a chase scene, as Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, is seen running along Blackfriars bridge with an impressive view of Tower Bridge behind.

The bridge also appeared in the 2001 action-adventure film The Mummy Returns, when the heroes escape mummies on a double-decker bus that crosses Tower Bridge and in Paddington 2 (2017), when the villain sneaks into the bridge as part of a treasure hunt.

As for the small screen, Friends fans might remember Tower Bridge’s appearance in ‘The One with Ross’s Wedding’, when Joey and Chandler explore London on a sightseeing bus that crosses right over the bridge. It has also featured in Dr Who, Only Fools and Horses, Inspector Morse, and Top Boy, as well as at the end of the music video for One Direction’s Midnight Memories.

To raise the profile of this venue as an incredible filming location, Film London are partnering with Social Pantry and Tower Bridge to explore the iconic filming venue Tower Bridge followed by a drinks reception on the evening of 4th October, 2024.
