We all love that feeling when we’re watching a film and… “Hey, I’ve been there!” Whether it’s your local park, the pub down your road or that one street where your mum’s aunt lives that your sister drove you down once, it still feels great.
We’re in and out of our tube stations every day and sometimes feel like we know them a little too well… Read on for our top five Tube station on-screen appearances.
Underground
Anthony Asquith’s 1928 black and white classic Underground is a romance set on and around the London Underground. An electrician and a porter both fall for a girl they spot on the Tube and a love triangle ensues… A real conundrum.
The Adventures of Paddington Bear
In the fourth episode of the first season, “Paddington Goes Underground”, our cuddly friend roams around on the Tube and a worried Judy and Mrs Brown head out to look for him. It first aired in 1997 and remains a British favourite.
Tube Tales
Nine stories by nine different directors intersect underground in this 1997 collab. Expect directorial debuts from Ewan McGregor and Jude Law and Rachel Weisz starring in an agonising short story about a little girl separated from her mother underground.
Skyfall
The perfect English gentleman - James Bond flexes his muscles in Charing Cross station. Baddie Javier Bardem is chased through the station and you’ll also spot other London landmarks such as Whitehall, Parliament Square and the National Gallery.
Sliding Doors
Scenes in Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1997 romantic comedy were filmed at Waterloo and Fulham Broadway. Her character explores a parallel universe centred on whether or not she catches her train - a real brain teaser.
