London landmarks create the backdrop for some memorable movie moments.

St Paul’s Cathedral became a feature in Mission Impossible when Tom Cruise leapt from the rooftop in the sixth film, Fallout.

The cast were also spotted filming on top of the Tate Modern Gallery, which is free to visit and often has unique and extraordinary exhibits.

The Houses of Parliament appeared in Sherlock Holmes and the Spider-Man saw Tom Holland flying across Tower Bridge.

You can easily visit these either on foot or by taking the open-top bus, like Zendaya did in Spider-Man. The tour bus has a live guide and stops at 36 attractions.

Other ways to see the sights are on a Thames River Boats tour.

Make sure to stop by Portobello Road, the stunning home of Paddington Bear. Minutes away is Notting Hill where the romantic film starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant was filmed.

Kenwood House in Hampstead was used as the set for one of Anna’s (played by Julia Roberts) films and the house offers free entry to the public.

Around the rest of England, who can forget the scene in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, where Bridget parachuted out of a plane? That was filmed at the Headcorn Aerodrome in Ashford, Kent. 

At the Aerodrome you can catch an air show, or book yourself in for a flying lesson.
