Every Stop Has a Story

The Heartfelt Gateway

The film opens and closes in the arrivals hall here, with real travellers filmed documentary-style as they reunite with the people they love.

Jamie's House

Colin Firth's heavy-coated walk to this Bedford Park studio house was filmed on a warm July day, and the too-lush 'December' trees give it away.

Christmas Concert

The Prime Minister and Natalie's kiss behind the curtain was revealed to the audience at this Putney school, then called Elliott School, whose 1956 building is now listed.

Mark Declares his Love to Juliet

Mark's silent cue-card confession of love plays out on a mews of former stables, and the original script had him carpeting the cobbles with rose petals instead.

Love is Wrapped Up

Selfridges moved its perfume counters to the front doors specifically to mask the smell of horse manure from the street, a decision that ended up defining the luxurious, fragrant shopping experience seen on screen today.

Peter and Juliet's Wedding

Peter and Juliet's surprise Beatles wedding was filmed in this Mayfair chapel, where American forces worshipped during the Second World War, General Eisenhower among them.

Daniel and Son's Heart-to-Heart

Daniel learns his grieving stepson is actually in love on a riverside bench here, and the benches are still in place, just very slightly moved.

Love in the Political Spotlight

The film never shot at Number 10, which was built as a set at Shepperton Studios, but the real door's letterbox still reads 'First Lord of the Treasury'.

Mark's Home

Strict laws banned illuminated advertising signs, so the tower's 1920s owners spelled out 'OXO' directly into the windows instead, a loophole that gave the building both its name and Mark's screen address.
