The 54th London Film Festival starts this week, and to celebrate we've scoured Google's streetview to find 25 famous movie locations from some of the capital's most memorable films for you to visit and explore online.
They come from all over - the uptown glam of The Long Good Friday, South of the river grime in My Beautiful Laundrette, and roadside attractions from Radio On.
And don't forget the maps are interactive - don't just stare at them, explore. See how one location blends into another, how filmmakers cut corners (sometimes around corners) and how the bustling sprawl of London has given us some of the most unforgettable settings in cinema.

This is pretty cool. A friend of mine recommende going on the London Film Locations bus tour which goes to all these places and shows clips from the films along with interesting anecdotes.

Some good shots of London of then and now. Can also recommend going on a walk of London Film Locations I did with a mate recently. The guide Kevin made it a fun couple of hours.
