According to Film London, the agency responsible for overseeing filming in the capital, films depicting the UK are responsible for attracting about 1 in 10 overseas tourists, spending around £1.8 billion a year. With London being the third biggest film production centre in the world and the UK offering a diverse range of historical and modern sites linked with both film and TV the time for TV and Film Tourism seems to have finally come of age.
New attractions such as the Warner Bros Studio Tour and the Doctor Who Experience as well as a wide range of tours offered by premier TV and Film Location Tour provider, Brit Movie Tours reinforce this fact. Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Gavin and Stacey, Inspector Morse, and James Bond are just some of the many tours Brit Movie Tours offer allowing fans from the UK and all over the world to get closer to places featured in the shows and films they know and love.
Lewis Swan founded Brit Movie Tours in 2009. See their website for more details about their diverse range of tours including the new tour launching in 2012 Beatrix Potter Tour of the Lake District.
