Jamie was our guide for just over two hours, and what a fantastic experience it was! We started at Piccadilly Circus and made our way across London, mostly on foot with just a short Tube ride, eventually reaching Tower Bridge from the Borough Market side and crossing it on foot. From the very beginning, Jamie brought the city to life with his warmth, enthusiasm and, above all, his genuine passion for cinema. Along the way, he took us to some of the most iconic locations featured in films such as Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, James Bond, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Sherlock Holmes and many others. What made the tour especially enjoyable was the way she combined film locations with amusing behind-the-scenes stories, fascinating anecdotes and interesting insights into London’s history. It never felt like simply moving from one movie location to another: Jamie created a real journey through both cinema and the city itself. We also discovered some wonderful hidden corners of 18th- and 19th-century London that we had never seen before, despite having visited the city several times. All in all, an extremely enjoyable, lively and original way to discover London. Jamie’s passion is contagious, and we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who loves films, London, or simply wants to experience the city from a completely different perspective. Highly recommended!

Itinerary
At the iconic location that many call the Times Square of London, you'll see clips from movies that were notoriously difficult to get permission to film in the area.
Leicester Square is cinema district in London. Holding some of the biggest movie premiers of the last 100 years.
A Victorian alley way rich with history of music legends and the occult. Also the birth place of the British film industry. Here you will learn about the first motion picture projector and camera and the conspiracy that surrounds it.
This eerie little street is a genuine hidden gem and not only inspired set design for movies but was used as a location for filming.
One of the most recognisable locations in London and used in many movie genre including action, fantasy, sci fi and the first Disney live action remake.
Home to the 19th century Scotland Yard building which was the headquarters of the police. But this tucked away pocket has been the perfect location for several blockbusters including Harry Potter.
This fancy hotel is the perfect place for celebs and movie stars. In the heart of London and a stones throw from where all the premiers happen. But the unique architecture has also appeared on screens big and small.
This quirky little pub survived a war and redevelopment. It might also be the home to a secret agency that deals with things... otherworldly.
Possibly the most famous building in London, its narrow corridors, gothic interior and winding staircases are perfect for all types of movies you love.
The infamous bridge hated by some locals and been the perfect spot to show a more modern London on the big screen.
Just outside the old converted power station was the sight of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, as he pursued Henry Cavill across the top of Blackfriars bridge.
The picturesque old pub was used in the first Mission Impossible film and also a movie that has little more than a controversy surrounding it.
A lovely pub that sits just on Borough Market. This was also the home for one of the UKs biggest Romcom characters, Bridget Jones.
The oldest food market in London is the perfect place to finish up the tour and our guide will also lift the veil that is hiding a very magical pub...

Had a great time. Jamie is a good guide. He's nice, patient and outgoing. I highly recommend this tour.
A brilliant day - it was just our group with Jamie , so felt like a private tour. He was high energy and brilliant with our group, some of whom were neurodivergent. His movie knowledge was excellent and excelled even the movie expert in our group. Perfect tour guide! Would happily book again.
Fantastic tour, super-engaging guide had encyclopedic knowledge that he tailored to our group. Throughly recommended.
Great tour! Our guide was super! His knowledge on the movies and back stories and actors was second to none. He answered every question and often shared additional info. Extremely enjoyable tour!
We enjoyed this tour so much! Ryan was an excellent tour guide — so knowledgeable and friendly — and took us to a wonderful variety of spots. He was happy to answer all our questions and was just a delight. Appealed to both our 7 and 14 year olds.
I was given this experience as a birthday present and I had a fantastic experience! Our guide, Jamie, was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining each location, and blew our minds with facts we didn't know. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes their films!

Jamie was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very fun. Had a blast.

Thank you, would definitely recommend
It was very nice and cool for Harry Potter Fans.

Interesting and informative movie locations tour around the city of London with excellent back stories. Our host, Ryan, was engaging and very knowledgeable.
It was only the two of us on the tour, so we were able to ask Ryan all the questions we had. He had such great knowledge of the city and we thought the tour was simply wonderful. Definitely worth it!
Had the tour guide all to ourselves! Ryan was informative and knowledgeable about film history and the films he highlighted.
A lovely way to spend a Monday morning. We walked the back alleys of Leicester Square with Ryan soaking up his love of the movie business . We saw hidden corners of London and heard a wide variety of tales. The ipad clips are a helpful reminder. Highly recommended, look forward to another walk with Ryan on our next London trip to learn more about Bond, James Bond.
Great activity booked with Ryan as our guide. He was friendly and came prepared with videos of the scenes from the movies that were filmed in these London locations. He answered our questions and kept us all engaged during the walking tour. Really neat stuff!
Lovely experience! Two handsome men walking around the city and telling us about different move locations in the city. Also ended up talking about other storytelling mediums like games. Loved the enthusiasm, energy and you could really feel the love of the game
It was a most enjoyable morning, finding out about various movie locations around London. Our guide Jamie was fantastic. I would highly recommend this experience.
Not only got to stroll iconic london sites but also learn what films were shot there and some historical perspectives from a fim point of view. The guide was clearly excited by relating the information supplemented by video clips on an IPad. For film buffs like me it was a blast!! Different from the standard tours of London.
Myself and my 15 year old son, really enjoyed this tour. Ryan was really knowledgeable about films and very happy to answer our random questions. We saw parts of London we had never seen before and loved relating this to familiar (and not so familiar!) movie clips. Highly recommend!
Jamie was a great guide who is so knowledgeable about film and has great stories/ trivia. He is obviously passionate about what he does and is super friendly. We loved how this tour was not just limited to Harry Potter. I recommend bringing water and don't forget to bring your preferred payment method for the tube.
Outstanding. Excellent value for money. Our guide had so much knowledge and bought everything to life. We really enjoyed our walk around London. If you like films this walk is a must.
Ryan our guide was amazing and knew so much about the films the locations and the history behind them and the area! Really recommend as we saw so much of the London sites!
Another fantastic tour from Where Now Tours. I often like to spend an afternoon discovering London by doing a walking tour and, yet again, this one did not disappoint. We explored hidden alley's and heard stories about some of my favourite films. Jamie made the magic come to life with his passion and engaging story telling and he reminded me to never forget to look up, you never know what you're missing.
Absolutely a once in a life time tour, Jamie was both well educated on the subject matter and very personable, would recommend this tour for anyone out of town.
Ryan was so sweet! Very knowledgeable! Gave me tips on where to go after the tour. He even showed me videos of the movies as we went to the areas!
Interesting tour to magical/ unknown/ known places which were seen in movies. Funny Guide with lots of facts who cares about the guest's interests. Would recomment to Friends. Thanks for the Tour!
Ryan was a fantastic host. He showed us many locations, both famous and the hidden ones with the scenes on his iPad brought to life. James Bond, Harry Potter, and many others. He tailors the tour to your specific movie interests. Great fun!
Great tour! Luckily the weather was nice because it was a lot of time outside. I had planned the tour to go alone and it ended up being a private tour which was awesome and unexpected! A friend came along with me last-minute as well. Didn't go into the tour with a ton of expectations; wasn't very familiar with London and had a such a great experience! Ryan was very personable and able to answer all of our questions. I liked that the tour provided some information on the British film industry as well as just film locations specifically. Totally would recommend and great price.
This tour was outstanding! Surprising with a mix of different style of movies. We found that Ryan had such a great knowledge of not only the movies that he referred to, but as well of the industry, which brought a very deep tour. We were surprised by some of the locations and we even went to places in London that we’ve never visited. So worth it!
Ryan (our guide) did an Outstanding Job on this tour…..he provided interesting information about each film location, along with a film clip on iPad……he also shared general “London” information as we walked.. Thanks Ryan —-enjoyed you & the sites.. Highly recommend!!!!
We had a couple of very fun and interesting hours, guided by our knowledgeable and friendly guide Ryan Brannon. Very nice and service minded. He knew the city in and out and added fun facts throughout the tour. Lots of famous film sights, some hidden gems, and even behind the scene videos! We highly recommend this guide and tour! Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic tour really interesting and really informative thanks Jamie it’s a great tour. Keen to get work interested great to be doing something different!
The tour was amazing! It was a great way to visit London and see lots of sites! Our tour guide Ryan was very nice, funny and had lots of information which made for a great tour. Would absolutely recommend and would love to do another one of their tours!
We absolutely loved it! We learnt so much about our favourite films and the history of London andadded some must see movies to our watch list. Ryan showed us the movie clips in real time which was a really immersive experience. There was something for everyone, action, superheroes, rom coms, horror and more. We saw the best sights of London as well as some places we’d never have gone ourselves. Thank you Ryan!
