Blockbuster Film Tour
Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of “the most popular filming location in the world” (Empire magazine).
From a starring role as Buckingham Palace in The Crown to 19th century revolutionary Paris in Les Misérables, the Old Royal Naval College has provided the setting for some of the most memorable scenes in major film and TV productions. On this tour you will be guided through over 60 years of filming both on our iconic riverside grounds and inside the magnificent Painted Hall.
Tour highlights include:
- Spot the locations around our site used for filming The Crown (2016 – Present) including Buckingham Palace, Dartmouth College and many more.
- Inside the Painted Hall see where Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman waltzed the night away in Indiscreet (1958) which was filmed in a replica Hall .
- Walk in the footsteps of Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady (2011) and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides (2011)
- View the Painted Hall backdrop for a scene in the Madness of King George (1994), where Nigel Hawthorne’s George III is presented with the painting of his forebearer/ancestor George I
- Visit Lower Grand Square which hosted a crashed spacecraft in a climactic battle scene in Thor: The Dark World (2013)
This tour takes place mainly outdoors around the site, so please dress appropriately, including footwear, for all weather conditions.
