Crossing the Bridge
From Charing
Cross, walk up the Strand and cross Waterloo Bridge (you can pretend
you’re Michael Caine in ‘Alfie’). Below the bridge is BFI
Southbank. Use your web browser to check out their site for details on
this month’s seasons dedicated to Burt Lancaster, film noir and women
in comedy.
BFI Southbank, Belvedere Rd, SE1 8XT (020 7928 3232/www.bfi.org.uk)

Wild River
It’s
just a short walk along the river to Borough, where you’ll find the
Roxy Bar and Screen – a bar that also shows films. On the way you’ll
pass through Clink Street which pops up in the James Mason-narrated
‘The London Nobody Knows’.
Roxy Bar & Screen, 128-132 Borough High St, SE1 1LB (020 7403 4423/www.roxybarandscreen.com)
City Slickers
Back
at the river, cross the Millennium Bridge near the Tate Modern (one of
the city’s top film locations, seen in ‘The Constant Gardener’ and
‘Match Point’). Then head past St Paul’s to the Barbican, where you’ll
find three cinemas showing a mix of new releases and archive films.
Barbican Centre, Silk St, EC2Y 8DS (020 7382 7000/www.barbican.org.uk)

Go West
If
you’ve any energy left, head west to King’s Cross Station to explore
its numerous film locations. ‘The Ladykillers’ was shot here, as were
scenes in ‘Mona Lisa’, Mike Leigh’s ‘High Hopes’ and ‘Harry Potter’.
Walk around the back streets and you’re bound to recognise the odd
location.
King’s Cross Station, Euston Rd, N1
Final Destination
Make
the ICA or Curzon Soho your last stop. Both have eclectic programming,
and great bars where you can treat yourself to a well-deserved drink or
snack.
ICA, The Mall, SW1 5AH (020 7930 3647/www.ica.org.uk)
Curzon Soho, 99 Shaftesbury Ave, W1D 5DY (020 7292 1686/www.curzoncinemas.com)
