Located in one of the most-filmed cities in the world, Chiswick has enjoyed many moments in the spotlight.
A local vicarage in Grove Park was the W4 location for part of the recent Oscar-winning movie
The Theory of Everything. Scenes from the film in which actor Eddie Redmayne plays the role of scientist Stephen Hawking, were filmed in and around the gardens of
St Paul's Church and vicarage.
The long tradition of TV and filmmaking in West London began in 1902 with the opening of Ealing Film Studios at Ealing Green. Films with scenes set in and around Chiswick include:
Love Actually (2003) - Filmed around various spots in west and central London. Colin Firth Firth visits an artist’s house in Blenheim Road W4. He then hails a cab on The Avenue W4, to keep out of the winter chill, despite the fact it was filmed on a balmy July day.
Vanity Fair (2004) - Follow in Reese Witherspoon's footsteps (top image) and take a stroll around
Chiswick House Grounds where most of the outdoor scenes were filmed.
Never Let Me Go (2010) - The story follows students (bottom image) at a very special school, who begin to question their role in the world, with shocking consequences. The school interiors were filmed in
Chiswick Town Hall, and the exteriors are of Ham House in Richmond.
Bend It Like Beckham (2002) - Filmed in Gunnersbury Park and parts of Twickenham, there's plenty of familiar spots and locations throughout this blockbuster film.
