Time to explore the spooky filming locations from #LastNightInSoho!

First up is Paddington Station! Not the spookiest of spots but an important one as we see Eloise arrive in London 🚂

When you’re next on a train to/from Paddington, picture this:

Next is the London College of Fashion just off of Oxford St. Lovely having true to life geography in the film, London done right!

A main location in Soho is The Toucan pub. You’ll spot some posters up inside and the owners are lovely.

The co-writer of the film, Krysty Wilson-Cairns, also worked in here for 5 years! It’s a small world...

The @EmpireCinemas Haymarket standing in for a stunning sequence. Its marquee is sort of unmatched ✨

“When we were filming, lots of people tried to buy tickets for Thunderball.” ~ Wright

While the front of the cinema acted as Café de Paris in the film, the real one can be found over on Coventry St.

“We had to give @CityWestminster 5 months notice to close the Haymarket... but one lane was left open.” ~ Wright

The result is certainly worth it!

Another little location you’ll see on the screen is Newman Passage. A tucked away little spot that needs a keen eye!

Also seen in ‘Minder’ from the 70s/80s and ‘Peeping Tom’ from 1960.

Thomasin McKenzie running through Percy Passage. Perfect for a Halloween stroll 👻

If exploring Soho, be sure to to walk along these 3 main streets:

• Frith Street
• Dean Street
• Greek Street

So many scenes can be spotted!

At the end of Bateman Street lives the Rialto - one of the clubs in the film. This whole street was dressed as the 60s in glorious fashion...

Anya Taylor-Joy + Matt Smith head on in! Some fantastical movie magic.

The setup vs the shot 📽

Looking down over Rupert Street

Just around the corner from the Rialto is Bateman’s Buildings.

This is another perfectly spooky alley as we watch Anya Taylor-Joy stroll through at the dead of night.

With that, the #LastNightInSoho tour comes to an end. There are many more scenes to stumble upon so enjoy if you explore...
