Had a nice day out yesterday visiting a couple TV location spots

First of all the pub which is used as the front of the Railway Arms in 'Life on Mars'

Then we headed over to Royston Vasey to buy some special stuff for tea

All in all a great day out, but got me thinking I wonder if anyone else had visited any TV/film locations with their MINI?

KPKalle · Feb 22nd, 2007, 11:54 AM

Cool

And no I haven't

Washy · Feb 22nd, 2007, 11:56 AM

Like those

Never been to any in the MINI. Unless Villa Park is counted....that is on tele

Great idea for a thread Rakey.

I don't think there's anything nearby for me to capture any location shots. Gives me a good excuse to travel though.

118 and myself parked outside the Villa Della Regina on the outskirts of Turin.

This location was featured in the original Italian Job film. This was from where Charlie Croaker and his gang hide up before setting off for the robbery.

Did you visit the Local Shop?

Alfatester · Feb 22nd, 2007, 02:51 PM

You survived having the 'special stuff' ..?

You really are local!!!

Film locations? Are you kidding?

I live in London remember so most of it is a permament film location. Both Minnie and now Harriet are film stars everyday as they drive around the capital!!

Inspector Morse locations all the time here

I'd love to visit that, and the thought did cross my mind while out yesterday, but it was the oppostite direction.

Is it not a listed/protected building now?
