TV tour of London - all the iconic locations from your favourite shows, from Sherlock to Spaced

From the Made in Chelsea gang's favourite haunt to Spooks HQ.

For decades, TV has managed to make London look stunning or grotty  (depending on its aim), and some areas have the power to take you right back into your favourite shows.

So if you're a bored Londoner with a day off or planning a visit, here's a handy TV tour of London:

1. SHERLOCK - '221B Baker Street'

Sherlock and John's bachelor pad is actually 187 North Gower Street, which is a mere stroll from Euston Square Underground station. While you're there, grab a bite at the world famous Speedy's cafe.

2. SPOOKS - MI5 Headquarters

Where is it?  Freemasons' Hall, WC2B 5AZ ( Google Maps )

While long exterior shots of the team's base show the real MI5 building at Thames House, the show actually uses Freemasons' Hall for when characters walk in and out. The same location was used for  Spy ,  Hustle ,  Johnny English and... the video for Westlife's cover of 'Mandy'.

3. MADE IN CHELSEA - Bluebird

Where is it?  350 King's Road, Chelsea, SW3 5UU ( Google Maps )

Spencer, Jamie, Louise and the gang are often seen at this high class restaurant right in the heart of Chelsea. Good news: it's not  too expensive so us commonfolk can actually go there for a Bloody Mary or two. Just wear some nice shoes, for goodness sake.

4. THE INBETWEENERS - Rudge Park Comprehensive

Where is it?  Ruislip High School, Hillingdon, HA4 0BY ( Google Maps )

Whether you're a 'bus wanker' or a 'football friend', you can relive Simon, Will, Jay and Neil's traumatic days under the tutelage of Mr Gilbert at the actual school. Its real name is Ruislip High School, based in Hillingdon. Hopefully the real pupils have a better time of it than these boys.

5. PEEP SHOW - The El Dude Brothers' flat

Where is it?  Zodiac Court, London Road, Croydon, CR0 2RJ ( Google Maps )

Mark and Jez's flat is named Zodiac Court in Croydon. Just be careful not to make eye contact with youths, as they might chase you and call you 'clean shirt'. While you're there, you can recreate the opening credits by  visiting this estate agents .

6. SPACED - Tim and Daisy's flat

Where is it?  23 Carleton Road, Tufnell Park, N7 0QZ ( Google Maps )

Tim and Daisy were lucky to have had mad Marsha as their landlady, as this period property in Tufnell Park would normally  cost around £1,900 per month to rent , at the very least.  That's about 500% more than they paid. Brian's probably still there perfecting his art.

7. W1A - BBC Broadcasting House

Where is it?  Portland Place, Marylebone, W1A 1AA ( Google Maps )

This is quite an obvious one, but it's still fun to imagine PR management types just like Siobhan and Ian in this shiny building located just a brisk walk from Oxford Circus tube station. Hang around long enough and you're able to play a game of 'spot the celeb'.

8. BOTTOM - The bench

Where is it?  Roundabout between Hammersmith Bridge Road and Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, WD6 9HQ ( Google Maps )

The famous bench on which Rik Mayall's Richie and Ade Edmondson's Eddie sat and fought on during the opening credits was removed several years after the sitcom aired. But, after the sad passing of Mayall in 2014, fans successfully campaigned for it to return to the same roundabout near Hammersmith tube station. Richard Richard has never been so popular.

9. EASTENDERS - Albert Square

Where is it?  Just off Clarendon Road, Borehamwood, WD6 IBD( Google Maps )

The BBC One soap is actually filmed on the outskirts of London in Borehamwood. Sadly, you can't actually just wander around the Square and head inside the Vic (they have to film it, you know) - but it is all there - just have a look on Google Maps:

What customers are saying about our TV & Film Studio Tours experiences

“ Absolutely amazing! ”

Awesome. On the studio tour you get up close to the magic of the films and the impressive filming process itself. Each part of the tour more impressive than the last. The gringotts set is breath taking. Seeing the Hogwarts Express took me back to my childhood. Just fantastic. Theres a canteen half way round which is average but fine. Everything else, epic. Then later, the 2 course lunch was tasty, in a hotel so lovely, we booked a room, for that night! Hotel staff were amazing. Overall, 10/10 👏

A must for any fan of Only Fools & Horses! Our guide Bill was great and we met the other guide Steve seemed equally good too! There’s roughly nine stops with a comfort break by the Theatre. I would say don’t drink too much beforehand though! Really fascinating and knowledgeable with clips shown onboard and great pictures to show you at the stops. I won’t spoil it but go and enjoy!

“ A great tour ”

This was booked for us by our grandkids, got a bit confusing when I had to change dates and had to go through britmovietours and when we did the tour it was with a company called Walking Tours of Oxford. If had known would have booked direct. The tour and tour guide were just brilliant and would recommend them to anyone our guide was informative and obviously enjoyed her job we also were connected with a sound system so didn't miss a word, not all companies use this. Great day.

“ James Bond Bus tour of London - Great ”

Great tour - as a James Bond fan I loved it. David, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and was clearly a Bond fan also.

“ A fabulous day out. ”

Fabulous day out. Well worth the money. The lady guide was amazing.

“ Doc Martin Tour ”

Excellent tour that also covered the history of the town. Mike, the guide, was excellent and had lots of stories from the filming etc as he is in it. Very knowledgeable about the local history as well. Well worth the money. You can get it slightly cheaper on the day but you risk not getting a space as it is very popular.

“ Fantastic tour ”

Mark gave us the guided tour and was really fun and informative. We were amazed at the amount of costumes there and the detail that goes into each and every one of them.

“ So good! ”

Just loved this tour! Our guide, Lottie, was so knowledgeable and engaging. It was far better than I expected.

“ brilliant day ”

my grandaughter and i had a wonderful experience on the emmerdale tour the bus driver john and our guide liz were absolutely fantastic and really good with all ages they made the whole experience and the day for us i would whole heartedly recommend this tour

Join us on an ITV Daytime Studios tour in London

ITV's exciting behind-the-scenes guided tour around the iconic studio sets at Television Centre in London guarantees a truly unique and unforgettable television experience!

With ITV Daytime favourites Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women all broadcasting from the same building, the ITV Daytime Studios Tour immerses fans into the glamorous showbiz world. Guests will be able to explore sets, get a sneak peek of what lies behind and discover how the shows are brought to life and onto their screens.

Tickets are available from daytimestudiostour.co.uk

As one of the busiest working studios in the UK producing over 2000 hours of much talked about TV a year, guests have unprecedented access into production and the day-to-day operations of a live studio with stories and filming insights from the studio floors shared with them along the way.

With the promise of plenty of picture and selfie opportunities on the well-loved and instantly recognisable sets, a wander down the production corridors where the green rooms, wardrobe departments, make-up areas and production offices are housed, as well as walking amongst industry producers and crew, each tour will be full of TV magic.

Emma Gormley, MD ITV Studios Daytime said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming viewers to our studios to get even closer to our flagship shows Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. We’re proud to produce some of the UK’s most popular shows and their fans - our viewers - are extremely important to us, making this even more of an exciting opportunity.”

Sue Walton, Commercial Executive for ITV Studios Daytime said: “ Every day our shows are welcomed in millions of homes around the country. The programme sets, as well as being familiar, have become iconic. We’re thrilled to turn the tables and bring viewers the chance to visit the home of our shows in what will be an unforgettable experience for fans and indeed anyone interested in television.”

James Penfold, Controller of Partnerships for ITV added: “Being able to open our doors to the studio floors for the ITV Daytime Studios Tour is going to take guests right to the heartbeat of such productions and promises to be a true insider experience that we’re incredibly proud to have curated.”

The Daytime Studios Tour is the latest addition to the portfolio of ITV live events and experiences, which includes Coronation Street The Tour, Emmerdale Village Tour, Emmerdale Studio Experience, This Morning Live and Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Parks.

The ITV Daytime Studios Tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and guests will have access to three of the four sets on any given tour (depending on production that day). Tours will run on select weekday and weekend dates until the end of the year.

Tickets are available from daytimestudiostour.co.uk or download the This Morning app and visit the shop.

Billie Eilish announces six London dates as part of 2025 European tour

Billie Eilish has announced a new tour in support of her latest album with six dates in London for 2025.

The Hit Me Hard And Soft tour, named after her latest record, begins with a North American leg in September at Centre Videotron in Quebec, Canada.

The dates in the US and Canada run until December, before the 22-year-old US singer heads to Australia in February 2025 ahead of her European dates starting in April at Sweden’s Avicii Arena in Stockholm.

Eilish will then play Glasgow’s OVO Hydro arena from July 7 to July 8 next year before six dates at London’s O2 Arena from July 10.

She will then move to Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena for four dates from July 19 and then will head to Ireland to perform at Dublin’s 3Arena from July 26 to 27.

Fans are encouraged to take “sustainable transport” during the tour, the announcement from Live Nation said.

Eilish also continues to partner with the plant-based food organisation Support + Feed and environmental non-profit organisation REVERB.

The concerts will reduce “greenhouse gas pollution, decreasing single-use plastic waste, supporting climate action, and updating concession offerings to promote and encourage plant-based food options with Support + Feed”.

Eco-Villages from REVERB are also set to be put up in two locations during the show and there will be plant-based food drives, with Support + Feed and fans, to gather goods to distribute to local communities.

The third studio record of Eilish comes out on May 17 and her website says the new body of work should be listened to chronologically as it “hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically, while bending genres and defying trends along the way”.

The album cover features the double Oscar -winner on her back underwater with a door open above her.

Eilish’s last album was 2021’s Happier Than Ever, and her debut record When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was released in 2019.

Money latest: These are the most in-demand holiday destinations this year

Welcome back to our Money blog, where we bring you all the latest consumer and personal finance news and tips. This week we're kicking off by talking about holidays (seeing as the sun has finally come out), and we're answering a reader's Money Problem on an undeclared management fee.

Qantas is being forced to pay a £53m penalty along with £20m in compensation to passengers following a legal battle over tickets it sold for cancelled flights. 

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) sued Qantas last summer, alleging the airline had broken consumer law when it sold tickets for more than 8,000 flights without disclosing they had been cancelled. 

One case saw the airline selling tickets for a Sydney to San Francisco flight some 40 days after it had been cancelled, the ACCC said. 

More than 86,000 customers will share the compensation pot, and will be contacted over the next two months.

Gina Cass-Gottlieb, chair of the ACCC, said the airline's behaviour was "egregious and unacceptable".

"Many consumers will have made holiday, business and travel plans after booking on a phantom flight that had been cancelled," she said.

"We expect that this penalty, if accepted by the court, will send a strong deterrence message to other companies."

Qantas's chief executive Vanessa Hudsons said the agreement was a "step forward" to "restoring confidence" in the airline. 

She said the administrative failings were caused by COVID, and that the airline was "sincerely sorry". 

If you'll be affected by the M25 closure this weekend, it's worth noting that an alternative diversion route could slap you with an unexpected ULEZ charge. 

The M25 will be closed in both directions between Junctions 9 and 10 in Surrey from 9pm on Friday until 6am on Monday. 

Official diversion routes will take drivers on A roads crossing from Surrey into London's ULEZ area, but there will be no enforcement action for anyone taking the official route who does not meet the ULEZ requirements.

However, National Highways has warned anyone ignoring diversion signs in an attempt to find shorter alternative routes will be liable for the £12.50 daily ULEZ fee.

Of course, this does not apply to cars that meet the low emission standards.

The ULEZ was expanded to cover every borough of London last year. 

The UK economy would be better off if there were fewer buy-to-let landlords, the country's biggest investment company has said.

Legal and General Investment Management (LGIM) told The Telegraph that "unscrupulous" landlords were "taking people's deposits and giving them a bad experience". 

Bill Hughes, global head of real assets at L&G, said the rental sector needs an overhaul as too many buy-to-let landlords have been "suboptimal and substandard". 

L&G has built a portfolio of 10,000 build-to-rent homes in the last eight years, and predicts traditional landlords will gradually be replaced by purpose-built rental properties managed by institutions.

Single-sex toilets will be legally required in all new restaurants, bars, offices and shopping centres, the government has announced. 

It is set to change building regulations later this year to make it compulsory for premises to provide separate facilities for men and women. 

The move follows an increase in the use of gender-neutral toilets. 

The UK has installed a record number of public electric car chargers this year, figures show. 

Nearly 6,000 new chargers were installed in the first three months of the year, according to Zapmap analysis of government data. 

Some 1,500 of these were rapid chargers. 

A common concern among those hesitant to switch to electric vehicles is range anxiety or the fear of not being able to find a charger.

Scroll through GoFundMe and it won't be long before you see them.

There's a widow left with her husband's financial struggles. Three young siblings trying to raise funds for their mum's send-off after her sudden death. A 25-year-old domestic violence victim whose family want to give her the send-off she deserves. 

There are scores of pages like this as an apparently increasing number of Britons struggle with funeral costs.

These costs have risen 126% in the last two decades, according to a recent report from SunLife. 

Where families would once have paid £1,835 for a basic funeral, they are now looking at costs of £4,141 on average. 

"People can't afford to bury their dead," says Pastor Mick Fleming, who runs the charity Church On The Street. 

He frequently spends his time helping families pay for funerals and providing his services as a minister for free, although he says there is simply too much demand for his small charity to help everyone. 

Government or local authority grants are available to help families with funeral costs, but Pastor Mick says these can come too late as undertakers will often require a partial payment upfront. 

There's an even darker side to this, too. 

"What we're now seeing is people who are poor can't walk into the bank and get a bank loan - the economy's tough at the minute," Pastor Mick says. 

"They can't get legitimate access to money so they can't borrow it and pay a decent standard rate back, so they have to go to loan sharks."

Many then find it impossible to pay the loan back and face threats from the criminals who lent them the money, says Pastor Mick.

He recalls: "There was a middle-aged lady, she had to borrow the money to bury her son. 

"She couldn't pay the money back so then she started to get threatened and intimidated. People turning up at the house. 

"It was pretty horrendous. She was getting suicidal. She was heartbroken already and she just couldn't get the money together."

The pastor says he was able to negotiate on her behalf - something he is now having to do as part of his charity work - but "you can't do that for everybody". 

A funeral without a service

The number of funeral-related fundraisers increased by 22% on GoFundMe last year, figures shared with Sky News reveal. 

Individual donations to these fundraisers increased by almost 400,000.

Many of these are trying to avoid their loved one being given a public health funeral, which is what happens if families are unwilling or unable to pay. 

Local authorities are legally obliged to carry out funerals in this case, but they are given little guidance from the government on what this should entail - meaning each council will have its own policy on what is or isn't included. 

In some cases, a service will not be offered and a person will be cremated or buried without the presence of family members. 

Other times, the family may be allowed to attend but they might not be able to get involved in the service. 

Generally, people will be cremated, unless they have asked not to be for religious or cultural reasons. 

Those who are buried will often have a grave with no marker, or they may be placed in a communal grave. 

"For someone that's lost a child or a husband or a wife or any loved one where you just haven't been able to provide closure, there's a sense of guilt that goes with it," Pastor Mick says.

As long as funeral costs remain eye-wateringly high, families across the country will be dealing with that guilt. 

This week will see the Bank of England announce its latest interest rates decision - and experts believe borrowers will have to wait longer to see rates come down. 

Policymakers appear set to hold out for stronger signs the cost-of-living crisis has abated, with economists widely expecting the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to keep rates at the current level of 5.25%. 

Rates have been held at this level since August last year. 

At the last meeting in March, just one member of the MPC voted for rates to be cut by 0.25 percentage points, but the remaining eight members voted for no change.

Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec, said: "This broad direction illustrates that collectively the committee is moving gradually towards a rate cut.

"It seems unlikely though to be ready to bite the bullet just yet and the Bank rate looks set to remain on hold at 5.25% for the sixth consecutive meeting."

Andrew Goodwin, chief UK economist for Oxford Economics, said data on services inflation and private sector regular pay growth has "likely extinguished any remaining hopes of a move in May".

As for whether rates could be cut in June or August, he said it is likely to be a "close call". 

Economists at HSBC are also expecting the first rate cut to come in June.

Interest rates are used as a tool to help bring down UK inflation. 

The brewing giant has announced it will invest £39m in revamping 600 of its pubs across the UK - a move that will create more than 1,000 new jobs. 

The investment plan will also see pubs in its retail arm, Star Pubs & Bars, revitalised to appeal to those working from home. 

Sixty-two pubs will be reopened this year and 94 sites are set for full refurbishments. 

The remaining pubs will receive varying upgrades. 

Heineken said it wanted to "broaden each pub's use and appeal" in response to an increase in people working from home, giving customers more reason to visit throughout the day.

The refurbished pubs will have dividing screens to create separate areas for different types of customers. 

Lawson Mountstevens, chief executive at Star Pubs & Bars, said: "Fundamentally, the changes in people's working habits means that in a lot of these suburban locations, you've got more people who are around those areas a lot more.

"It's not rocket science. Those people are looking for pubs of a certain standard."

Aldi remained the cheapest supermarket last month, new analysis shows. 

The retailer has won the crown of cheapest supermarket every month so far this year, according to research by Which?. 

An average basket of 67 popular groceries cost £112.90 - more than £30 cheaper than the most expensive supermarket, Waitrose. 

A basket of comparable items in Waitrose would cost £144.13 on average. 

Here is the breakdown for each supermarket... 

• Aldi - £112.90
• Lidl - £115.23 
• Asda - £126.98
• Tesco - £128.17 
• Sainsbury's - £131.02 
• Morrisons - £134.87 
• Ocado - £136.86 
• Waitrose - £144.13. 

Food price inflation has slowed to 4.5%, its lowest level since February 2022. 

Despite being the most expensive, Waitrose and Ocado were the only grocers to win new shoppers in the first three months of the year, according to research by Kantar.

"My daughter recently bought a flat and has since learnt there is an extra £600 a year management fee that was not declared by the vendor during the sales process. We have been told that the vendor was heavily involved in negotiating the management contract. Can we complain?" J Mills

Serena Amani, managing director at Monarch Solicitors , has this advice...

The general principle when buying a property is "buyer beware", which means the onus is on the buyer to perform their due diligence before contracting to purchase.

The buyer's conveyancing solicitor interrogates the contractual documentation and raises relevant enquiries to ensure the full facts and obligations are available to the buyer to make an informed decision.

In this situation, it appears the seller has failed to disclose the management fee - we assume relating to the services provided to the estate.

We can't give specific advice as we don't have access to the contractual documentation. However, we would suggest:

• To check if the obligation to pay a management fee is set out in the lease if it is a leasehold property, or the transfer deed if it is a freehold property. These documents should contain what services are provided and what the related charges are. The most common scenario is that of a leasehold flat. In this situation the services shall be set out under the service charges section. Generally, there is a provision that allows a management company to charge a management fee as a percentage of the overall service charge bill which is shared among all the leaseholders based on the size of their apartment.
• If the obligation to pay the management fee is in the contract and your conveyancer failed to notify you of this obligation, there is a potential negligence claim against the conveyancer which can be pursued through their complaints process and escalated to the legal ombudsman.
• In the rare instance that the management fee is not stipulated in the contract, then you may wish to contact the management company to obtain certified accounts for the services provided and ask them on what contractual basis they are charging a management fee. Management companies are obliged by statute to provide this information.
• If there is no contractual basis or the fees are unreasonable then you may consider bringing a claim before the property tribunal. The tribunal has the power to make a ruling on the reasonability of the management fees. It should be noted that it can be a long and arduous process and legal fees are not always recoverable even if successful.
• Where a seller has supplied misleading information about a property that materially influenced the decision to purchase the property, this could give rise to a claim for misrepresentation. Likewise, intentional concealment of this information during the sales process could constitute a breach of contract or misrepresentation. 

For more specific advice, you may wish to contact a property lawyer experienced in the conveyancing process and service charge disputes.

The long-awaited arrival of the sun in the last few days may have got you thinking ahead to the summer... which for many means holidays.

New analysis sent to the Money team has revealed the holiday resorts that Britons have been searching for over the last few months - although it's not a particularly sun-soaked destination that has come out on top.

Amsterdam is the most in-demand holiday destination for the UK, according to a study by Desert Safari Dubai Tours. 

The company looked at Google search data over the past 12 months to find which holiday destinations were most popular in the UK, using terms such as "holidays to", "flights to" and "trips to". 

Some 57,507 searches were carried out each month for trips to Amsterdam. 

The second most in-demand was Dubai , with an average of 52,544 monthly searches. 

Here is the rest of the list...

• New York - 51,169 
• Paris - 43,326 
• Tenerife - 43,305
• Barcelona - 41,664
• Dublin - 38,801
• Gran Canaria - 33,907
• Milan - 28,549
• Istanbul - 28,097

Meanwhile, data from holiday booking site Expedia suggests Britons are chasing the sun over the summer. 

Its trending destination data shows a 50% increase in searches for mainland Greece - while its islands of Santorini and Corfu remain popular. 

Interest is also surging in Mediterranean gem Malta (up 25%), seen as a more affordable destination. 

Searches are also up 50% for Albania , which has seen a surge in interest due to social media. 

The short-haul hotspot of Tunis has seen searches rocket by 130%.
