8. Why You Get A Peculiar Sense Of Déjà Vu When You See This Church In A Movie

London is crammed full of locations that film-makers just love to use. In fact, some of these spots get used so much, they cause a distinct sense of déjà vu. One such location is St Bartholomew the Great's Priory Church in Smithfield. This church, often called St Bart's, was used in the filming of Four Weddings And A Funeral, Shakespeare In Love, Sherlock Holmes, Snow White And The Huntsman, and Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. In 2014, it even featured in Muppets: Most Wanted. St Bart's is the oldest surviving church in London, dating all the way back to 1123. And it just keeps on being used in TV and film productions, so expect to see it on screen again soon!
