Lights, Camera, Action

You loved the film so now why not visit one of the Royal Borough’s locations used in the movie?

It is no suprise that this area is frequently used by flimmakers given its proximity to London and with Pinewood and Shepperton Studios just 20 minutes away.  Bray is the home of Bray Film Studios, made famous in the 1950s and 60s by the Hammer House of Horror Productions including Dracula. More recently it was where Alien was made in 1973.

Here is just a small selection of the most well known films and TV series the borough has been proud to host over recent years.
