South-Central England Film-TV Locations Map-Guide

You can use this map-guide to learn about film or TV locations of interest in the region. The map format was adopted below for the benefit of non-local users (including film producers and location scouts) who don't know the area at all. Due to space limitations, it isn't meant to be comprehensive. For a more inclusive list, see our listing of productions over the past century, here.
If you are a stranger to the area and intending on any serious location 'scouting,' you'll need a set of Ordnance Survey maps. You can download small OS map-sections from the official OS website, here. (If you're from abroad and not familiar with the Ordnance Survey mapping system, whereby locations can be identified to within 100 metres by their grid co-ordinates, you can download our free PDF on using OS maps: right-click here. ) We're still compiling information about local-interest films, but you can always obtain general production details of almost any film listed, here [IMDB - International Movie Database]. To check their possible availability on DVD, click here [Amazon UK].
This project is very much a work in progress, and we hope users will contact us if they have any info on locations.
If you have any suggestions for additional listings, you can email us here. For background information on the project, click here.
