Has your house/street/area ever been in a film?

ThierryEnnui [Edit] [Delete] 16:14, 6 July '10

This weekend I watched the thoroughly dull as fuck 1964 film Children Of The Damned (AKA The Bloodening II), and the only reason it wasn't a total washout was that there was a scene filmed at the bottom of my street:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=Weston+Street+tunnel+St+Thomas+Street&ie=UTF8&t=h&radius=0.02&sll=51.503075,-0.085398&sspn=0.00028,0.000601&split=1&filter=0&rq=1&ev=zi&hq=Weston+Street+tunnel+St+Thomas+Street&hnear=&ll=51.503216,-0.085398&spn=0,0.000601&z=21&layer=c&cbll=51.503114,-0.085388&panoid=SaBsK0sVX3NISEUw48XvgQ&cbp=12,13.22,,0,7.31

This is the first time I've lived in any place that was interesting enough to be in a film, albeit a rubbish one. A lady walked down the tunnel there and got hit by a car while possesed by her evil, possibly alien, spawn. There was also a couple of shots of Bermondsey Street, 'round the corner, and you could see my flat in another shot. Very exciting. Anyone else?
