Photo, film and TV location (original) (raw)
Gaddesden Place is regularly used as a location for TV, film and photography work. One of the earliest known films shot here was ‘Fanny by Gaslight’ with James Mason, filmed in 1944 (now available on YouTube). Gaddesden Place has also been used for: • Gothic and Lair of the White Worm horror movies directed by Ken Russell • A Kiss Before Dying with Max von Sydow • Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Aspects of Love music video. • Episodes of Jeeves and Wooster, Foyle’s War, Spooks, Hustle, Bremner, Bird & Fortune, Little Britain, Endeavour, Jonathan Creek. • Many fashion photo shoots and commercials including Marks & Spencer TV ads. Some recent productions; • Vogue magazine with Kate Moss, and Absolutely Fashion BBC documentary. • Vanity Fair, 2018 ITV drama • The Legend of Tarzan, Hollywood film with Samuel L Jackson and Jim Broadbent. • The Children Act movie with Emma Thompson. • Bounty Hunters, Sky TV comedy drama with Jack Whitehall. • The Current War film with Benedict Cumberbatch, was to be released in 2018. This was a Harvey Weinstein produced movie, so the release was delayed. Released in July 2019. • Slaughthouse Rulez, film with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Michael Sheen. • Holby City BBC TV drama Jan 2019 new year special. The house set as a country house hotel and conference centre. • Mother Father Son, BBC Drama with Richard Gere. • Tatler Magazine March 2019 with Eva Herzigová. • The Good Liar movie with Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen. • Vauxhall TV Ad June 2019 • Munich: The Edge of War a Netflix movie with Jeremy Irons • I Hate Suzie ITV drama with Billie Piper • One Life movie to be released late 2023 with Antony Hopkins • Another Netflix movie. Perhaps surprisingly the house is often used as a 10 Downing Street location because of the similarity between the entrance halls, and our drawing room and the cabinet room in Downing Street. We don’t have a black front door though. The Tarzan scenes in the Downing Street Cabinet room are shot here. Here’s a longer list of films shot at Gaddesden Place. Set in the rolling countryside of the edge of Chiltern hills north of London, it has views over Gade valley. We have hosted film production from the smallest to the largest (the Warner Brother’s Tarzan movie had more than 200 crew and cast). Gaddesden Place is set within the larger Gaddesden Estate which offers additional filming support and locations including rolling countryside landscapes, woodland, farms and stables. We regularly cooperate with the Gaddesden Estate, for instance housing any larger Unit Base on a nearby farm. The Gaddesden Place stables is now home to The Stampede Stunt Company who provide trained horses for film and photo shoots.
