it's a London thing









Being born in this wonderful City I am amazed that there re not more movies set here. When you go to New York you are amazed by the familiarity that has seeped in over decades of watching movies set there. Here’s my list of movies set in London, mostly contemporary, that bring a feeling of the city to the screen
