The Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, SE London is getting a full Hollywood makeover to transform into a bustling London street of the Edwardian era. It's certainly one of the most expensive location set-ups I've seen - and there's no shortage of big budget movies in which the ORNC has starred (Madness of King George, Four Weddings ..., Patriot Game etc).
Night time shooting is involving no less than forty carriages, hackney cabs and two omnibus and at the back of the college there's temporary stabling for 40 horses, plus there's some 50 location lorries, generator vans, trailers, wardrobe trucks.
This movie has to be costing about £30 million pounds but we'll have to wait until 2009 for its completion.
Attached are some shots from the location.
