From the regal life of Bridgerton to suave spy sensation James Bond, the magical world of Harry Potter or the gangs of the Peaky Blinders, Britain sets the scene for popular film, TV and period dramas. So rather than sitting at home pressing play on your favourites, why not immerse yourself in the places that are home to those iconic scenes?

A Great Britain on screen showcase

Why Britain's best for film and TV

Follow in the footsteps of snappy-dressed gangster, Tommy Shelby in England’s Midlands, or take to Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park for a exhilarating look back at the places where Bond hit the wheel in a dramatic car chase. In Bath, look no further than a regal tour for an insider perspective of the regency houses in Bridgerton, while in London discover the magical Leadenhall Market for a nostalgic journey into the place that inspired Diagon Alley. As a nation, we really pack the punch on places to explore if you’re a film buff or TV lover - so look no further than a trip across Britain to uncover a world filled with dramatic movie moments and iconic TV scenes.
