Description
Here at the London Film Museum we celebrate all aspects of the British Film Industry. Since we started in 2008 we have been collecting and displaying items both historical and contemporary from major films.
Our aim is to provide a fun environment for people to enjoy, while learning things they didn’t know, and taking away some good memories.
There are hundreds of movies filmed in this country that people don’t realise, from Superman, Indiana Jones, and Batman to modern day films such as Green Zone and Clash of the Titans. Then there are the obvious ones like Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter which are unmistakeably British. And if the film locations may not be British, you can pretty much guarantee that there is someone working on the film from this country. People who work behind the scenes are just as important to the whole process, as the ones in front of the cameras. For instance, we have a display of armour by Terry English, the world’s finest armourer, who has created costumes for Harry Potter, Excalibur, and Aliens.
Inside you can see iconic pieces such as the original Rank Organisation Gong, and spend some time getting your photo taken on the recreation of the Star Wars Tantive IV set courtesy of Lucasfilm*.
We are a constantly changing museum with new exhibits arriving all the time. You can keep up to date with new developments by signing up for our newsletter or checking back on the site on a regular basis.
