Arrive in Greenwich like a movie star
Start your blockbuster adventure by boarding a City Cruises boat for a scene stealing journey to Greenwich.
Regularly featured on screen is one of the most famous bridges in the world, Tower Bridge. Depart from Tower Pier and enjoy uninterrupted views as you capture the best photos of the Bridge and its cinematic architecture - as seen in Marvel films such as Spider-Man: Far from Home, to action-packed blockbusters like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Independence Day, as well as in beloved TV series, like Friends.
As you approach Greenwich Pier, take in the stunning views and photo opps from the open-air upper deck and capture the iconic riverbank scenes that have graced many films. This is the perfect way to set the stage for your day of movie magic.

Rangers House
Venture behind the grand iron gates of Ranger’s House which was designed in 1723. Keen viewers of the historical romance Netflix series, Bridgerton will recognise this as the Bridgerton’s family home, so a must photo spot to practice your best curtsey.
Queen’s House
The aptly named Queen’s House has been featured many times throughout all seasons of Bridgerton. Eagle-eyed fans may recognise this spot as the place where the Duke of Hastings fights with Lord Berbrooke in episode two.

Capture movie moments at Greenwich Park
Greenwich Park offers a variety of photo opportunities, having featured in several cult classics including The Secret Agent and Layer Cake. Explore the open green space where Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet donned Georgian frocks to shoot scenes for the 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Head to the summit of One Tree Hill for a panoramic view of London and you’ll see why it’s long been a magnet for artists and writers.
Discover movie magic at Greenwich Market
A visit to Greenwich isn’t complete without a stop at the bustling Greenwich Market. This Grade II-listed London market, situated in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is as vibrant as the area.
This Market was the location where bystanders were amazed by Jack Wilder’s card trick outside The Coach & Horses in Now You See Me 2.
Explore the eclectic mix of stalls from handmade crafts and vintage clothing to unique artworks and artisanal foods, Greenwich Market is a must-visit attraction whether you're a local or a tourist. Whilst you are there, why not take a selfie under the iconic Greenwich Market sign.
