It can't be month of St. Valentine without Bridget Jones, and there's no Bridget Jones without London! The fourth film in the much-loved rom-com series is finally here and we can't wait to see the return of Renee Zellweger as Bridget, and a familiar face in Hugh Grant as the devious Daniel Cleaver. With Mark Darcy sadly no longer in Bridget's life, One Day's Leo Woodall steps in to stir feelings up in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. In cinemas on 14 February, we're excited to see London on screen in another Bridget classic. Film locations for the latest film include Hampstead, where Bridget now lives having left her beloved flat in Borough Market, Moor House in the City of London, the former BBC Studios in White City, Parliament Hill, Petersham House in Richmond, Tower Bridge and more!

If Bridget Jones doesn't hit the right romantic notes for your Valentine's Day watchlist, why not try My Fault: London on Amazon Prime. The capital appears throughout this new film, as we follow 18-year-old Noah who arrives in London to meet her first love amidst a steamy whirlwind of underground racing, fight clubs, crime and family drama. Catch a glimpse of London on screen in the trailer here.

Finally, we're excited to dive into Victorian-era London for A Thousand Blows on Disney+. Out on 21 February, Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Malachi Kerby star in a new series steeped in the murky underworld of crime, illegal boxing and thievery of 1880s London. The new 6-part Disney+ series centres around the Forty Elephants, an all-female shoplifting gang that operated in the capital's seedy criminal scene from the 19th to 20th century. The story follows Hezekiah, played by Malachi Kirby (Small Axe, 2020), who arrives from Jamaica, jumping head-first into London's East End. Trying to find his way through the sprawling dangers of Victorian-era London, Hezekiah meets the leader of the Forty Elephants, Mary Carr, played by Doherty. Together, they look to survive through competing in the underground world of boxing, as intense rivalries grow and violence spills out of the ring.

A Thousand Blows filmed throughout the capital, with a production base and location shooting at Mortlake Brewery where the Story Works Studios transformed the local area and Thames Thowpath into Victorian-era London. Filming also took place around London's East End where the series is set.
