Favorite 15 Films Set in London

What can I say I like numbers that round off to 5′s and 10′s and I LOVE London. So in “honor” of my forthcoming trip to the British capital, I have put together 15 of my favorite films set in London. Please note I am not saying these are the BEST films set in London; they just happen to be my favorite ones.

  1. Eastern Promises
  2. Sherlock Holmes
  3. Wimbledon
  4. Love Actually
  5. About a Boy
  6. Midnight Lace
  7. The Bank Job
  8. Bend it Like Beckham
  9. Bridget Jones’s Diary
  10. Children of Men
  11. V for Vendetta
  12. Gaslight
  13. Notting Hill
  14. Dial M for Murder
  15. (on the fence) From Hell – mainly because while I do not consider myself a huge horror fan however, I am fascinated with the “Jack the Ripper” story and this movie satisfies that interest more so than any other narrative film that I have seen out there.

For a list of more films set in and around London, check out the Wikipedia entry.
