When fan tourism goes wrong, from Paddington to Harry Potter
If you've ever been tempted to live in a house with pop culture connections, stories of overtourism from the owners of property featured in Paddington, Harry Potter, and Downton Abbey should serve as a cautionary tale. The thrill of seeing your street onscreen can quickly sour when faced with an onslaught of visitors — residents of Chalcot Crescent, which appears in Paddington, have had to contend with intrusive selfies, while the owners of the Dursley house in Harry Potter have reported fans knocking on the door asking to see the cupboard under the stairs that doubled as wizard Harry's bedroom. There are many filming locations that have become hampered, and even physically ruined, by visiting fans. Here is what can happen when fan tourism goes bad.... The Beatles | George Harrison's childhood home Liverpool, the birthplace of music legends The Beatles, has a thriving Fab Four tourism industry. The city in the North West of England boasts two museums dedicated to the band, multiple statues, and even an Airbnb where you can stay in the former house used by the Fab Four for early gigs. The city caters for moptop fans with many private tours that take in key destinations from the band's history including The Cavern nightclub, where they plied their trade as an upcoming band, Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane, as well as the childhood homes of the four members of the group. The National Trust owns the suburban childhood homes of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, and offers pre-booked private tours, but Harrison and Starr's homes remain privately owned, and tucked away in terraced side streets close to the city centre. A blue plaque celebrating the birthplace of guitarist Harrison was erected outside 12 Arnold Grove in 2024. And in July 2005, local residents began to prefer to say 'goodbye' rather than 'hello' to tourists, putting up a chain blocking off access to the cul-de-sac. Chris Bennett, a pub licensee in the local area, told BBC Radio Merseyside that "you get people looking through the window, and if you leave your front door open, they look through the door". He also complained that his family "don't get any peace" because of the traffic caused by private tours, saying that tourists begin arriving from 9am and are still visiting the street at 9:15pm at night, blocking access to the street. Paddington | The Brown family house Chalcot Crescent, a terrace of pastel-coloured Regency-style townhouses in North London's Primrose Hill, will be instantly familiar to fans of the Paddington movies as the Brown family's home. However, its popularity as a filming location has long been a problem for its residents, and it seems their woes are about to get much worse. Labour councillor for Primrose Hill Matt Cooper told the BBC: "I've seen people taking selfies right in front of someone's living room window, and you're thinking, you know, if that was me, I'd be a bit annoyed to have my living room put straight on Instagram." With Paddington in Peru set for release in November 2024, the living room selfies may soon seem like the good old days as there is reportedly now a row going on with Airbnb over a competition prize. The holiday lettings site is offering the chance for three families to stay in Chalcot Crescent to mark the film's release, spending two weeks carrying out noisy works to recreate the film set in a house for the competition winners. They are also having the house painted blue and are blocking out five parking spaces. Some of the street's residents have written to Airbnb with their complaints, saying that they have not disclosed the property's address and are making a donation to the Primrose Hill Community Association. Harry Potter | Privet Drive The house in a cul-de-sac in Bracknell, Berkshire, was used to film scenes for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as 4 Privet Drive, in the fictional town of Little Whinging in Surrey, where boy wizard Harry lives with his Uncle and Aunt, the Dursleys. The house went on the market in 2016 for £475k and the anonymous owner has told The Sun they experience a "constant" stream of visitors to the house, in the form of Harry Potter fans wanting to take a photo. They said: "We've had people in floods of tears. It's bizarre. The kids, you get it. But obviously the adults. They dress up sometimes in full gear and recreate scenes. "There was one time somebody tried to climb the fence. That was when we were like 'Oh my God, don't do that!'" The owner said they are accommodating to fans and have even moved their car so they can take a photo on the drive. They said: "It's quite mad... We knew what house we were buying, except they didn't really tell us. They didn't tell us they are here all day, every day. It's constant... Ten is the maximum we've had, but people come in groups. People come in cars, and it's all day and sometimes at night. The school holidays are the worst." Breaking Bad | Walter White's house Breaking Bad fans who visited the location of Walter White's house bore the brunt of the owner's frustration recently. The house was used as the family home of the science teacher who turned to drug dealing to leave a nest egg for his family when he was diagnosed with cancer in the hit show. A video shared on TikTok in January 2023 showed the real-life owner shouting "Get out, you Mexican trash!" at a visiting fan. She allowed Breaking Bad to film there in 2008, and described it as "six years of fun with the nicest people she has ever met." But she is now plagued by up to 200 visitors passing by the house per day, and has installed a fence and security cameras after some had attempted to trespass, or reenact a scene in which White threw a pizza onto to his garage roof. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has asked fans to leave her alone, saying: "There is nothing original, or funny, or cool, about throwing a pizza on this lady's roof." Harry Potter | Dobby's grave Harry Potter fans are leaving tributes to Dobby the house elf, 13 years after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, in which he was buried on the beach. Dobby was buried outside Shell Cottage, which is meant to be in Cornwall, but the film was shot at Freshwater West beach in Pembrokshire, Wales. Fans still visit and leave socks - as Dobby was set free by Harry when he gave him a sock as an item of clothing - as well as piling painted pebbles on the sand dunes. A concerned local resident told Yahoo UK: "The litter and the piles of painted stones are damaging the ecosystem. "It has only got worse since the film was made - over the years, tonnes of rocks have been shifted. And people clog the roads looking for the spot. "A local volunteer comes and cleans up the rubbish sometimes, but they keep coming back." National Trust Wales has appealed to fans to stop leaving painted rocks as the paint chips could enter the marine environment and food chain and damage wildlife. Downton Abbey Residents of the picturesque village of Bampton in Oxfordshire may love their 200 year old cottages, but they are not quite so keen on the crowds of Downton Abbey fans that peer in their windows and take pictures. The site was used for the fictional village of Downton in the hit ITV period drama and spin-off movies. One resident said: "I get fed up with the Downton Abbey lot. They are a pain, walking around with their head-sets on and peeping into your windows. They make me feel like I am living in a zoo." And residents in Lacock, Wiltshire have a similar problem. Scenes from Downton Abbey were filmed outside the 300 year old cottages as well as several Harry Potter films, Pride and Prejudice, Wolf Hall and the Other Boleyn Girl. As a result it has become a tourist hotspot, crowded with traffic and people taking pictures. Abbey Road Since The Beatles posed on the zebra crossing on London's Abbey Road, the crossing has become a top tourist destination. Traffic is always congested as fans are standing in the middle of the road, trying to recreate the famous Abbey Road album cover. Cars are so fed up of waiting for tourists to cross the road, it seems, that Beatle Sir Paul McCartney was almost run over on the crossing while filming a documentary for Disney+. His daughter Mary McCartney said: "The bit where the car nearly ran him over on the zebra crossing, that was so funny. As we were leaving (the studio), I said, 'I'll film you (on the crossing),' and he went over and this car totally didn't stop for him." As a result, the crossing is constantly wearing away and having to be repainted. Love Actually These colourful mews houses in Notting Hill, West London, came to the attention of fans after they were used for the home of Keira Knightley's character in rom-com Love Actually, where Andrew Lincoln visits to tell her he loves her by holding up cue cards. Since being painted pink, the house has become such an Instagram sensation that tourists visit to have their photo taken in front of it, without even being aware of which film it featured in. The owner said in 2020: "I had no idea this house was in the film when I bought it before the Instagram craze and now I am living under a blanket of selfies, tour guides, and a queue of tourists lining up to take photos on weekends." The street has become so crowded the local council has started highlighting the nearby Portobello Road area, which featured in the Paddington movie, for tourists to visit instead. Joker Since Joaquin Phoenix famously danced down these steps in the Bronx, New York City to Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 2 in Joker, they have become crowded with fans wanting to do the same. Frustrated local residents have found the steps congested with tourists wanting to take photos and videos, blocking the way while they try to go about their daily business. They even put up fliers saying: 'It is disrespectful to treat our community and residents as a photo opportunity." The Beach Danny Boyle's 2000 film The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, based on Alex Garland's novel, was about a deserted paradise. But after the location of Maya Bay in Thailand was used for the film, it became crowded and overpopulated - attracting 5,000 visitors a day. The damage to the local ecosystem and coral population was so bad that in 2018 Thailand's National Parks department temporarily shut down the beach, in a bid to protect the once unspoilt idyll.

Nicole Kidman's unemployed niece begs for a job after moving to London: ‘Totally stupid decision'
Nicole Kidman's niece has revealed that she's currently in between jobs after packing up and making the 'risky' move to London. Lucia Hawley, 26, had recently made the big move from Australia to the UK, but admitted that she's finding it difficult to get situated without a steady income. In her latest Substack blog, the former presenter — who quit as host of '7Bravo' Down Under — detailed her how she's getting on with her new life in England. 4 Nicole Kidman's niece, Lucia Hawley, has revealed that she's currently in between jobs after packing up and making the 'risky' move to London. @luchhawley/Instagram 'On June 18, I officially made the move to London. On paper, this is a totally stupid decision, and honestly, frightens me (someone hire me pls),' Hawley wrote. 'I am risk-averse, which means my body quite literally rejects the idea of both moving overseas being unemployed.' Hawley admitted that she found it 'traumatic' to part ways with her boyfriend Henry, and her younger siblings. 'Saying goodbye to Henry was incredibly difficult (I am traumatized by airport goodbyes). Even harder were the goodbyes to my family — I kissed my little brothers through floods of tears,' she wrote. 4 The 26-year-old had recently vacationed in Croatia with her famous aunt and mom Antonia. @luchhawley/Instagram Still, Hawley admitted that while it was a scary trigger to pull, she ultimately knew that moving was the right decision for her. 'It is exciting and freeing and kind of what life is all about,' she went on. 'I believe home to be a feeling… Having a strong network of people who support you is what truly enables you to navigate the world with confidence and self-assurance.' Prior to her move, Hawley served as the host of '7Bravo' in Australia. 4 Hawley had recently made the big move from Australia to the UK, but admitted that she's finding it difficult to get situated without a steady income. @luchhawley/Instagram Following her departure, the show announced in December that former 'Bachelor' star Bella Varelis would take over the reins. Hawley is the eldest child of Kidman's sister Antonia, 54, and her ex-husband Angus. The TV host boasts a close friendship with the Oscar winner, as she recently returned from a lavish vacation in Croatia with her mom and the 'Babygirl' star.

Image of 'Japanese volcano spewing lava and ash' is AI-generated
After Mount Shinmoedake in southwestern Japan erupted on June 22, an image was shared in social media posts falsely claiming it showed lava and smoke spewing out of the volcano. The image, however, does not match livestream footage of the volcano and contains visual inconsistencies indicative of AI-generated content. "Japan's Shinmoedake volcano has erupted," reads part of the Sinhala-language caption of an image shared on Facebook on July 4, 2025. "A minor explosion was seen and due to this a plume of ash emerged 3,000 metres into the sky, and the cities across Kagoshima and Miyazaki are covered in dense smoke." The image supposedly shows lava and thick grey smoke spewing from the volcanic eruption. In the foreground there are red and white cars, and drivers and passengers who appear to have stepped out of the vehicles to witness the eruption. It surfaced after Mount Shinmoedake, a volcano in the Kirishima mountain range bordering Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures in southwestern Japan, erupted on June 22 (archived link). The same image was shared in similar posts elsewhere on Facebook. "Oh please, may no one in all of Japan face any trouble! May everyone be safe!" reads a comment on one of the posts. Another said: "May no harm come to all those in Japan." While Mount Shinmoedake has continued to emit smoke since its July 22 eruption, with plumes reportedly reaching 5,000 metres high, the image circulating online does show the volcano (archived link). The image does not correspond to livestream footage of the volcano on the YouTube channels of local broadcasters UMK TV Miyazaki or MBC viewed on July 21 (archived here and here). The Japan Times reported on July 9 that the country's meteorological agency had restricted access to the mountain, and warned that a "large amount of volcanic ash and lava flows will be expected if a full-scale magmatic eruption occurs" (archived link). Moreover, inconsistencies in the picture suggest it was created with the help of AI. Visual anomalies A closer analysis of the falsely shared image shows the doors on a white car in the foreground are positioned incorrectly on the vehicle and the people standing on the road appear to be missing limbs. A subsequent keyword search led to a YouTube video titled "Japanese volcano erupts, spewing lava", which contains the falsely shared image, posted on July 4 (archived link). The video, which was shared on a channel that posts AI-generated content, contains additional visual inconsistencies. For example, a white car enters the bottom of the frame at the three-second mark and crashes into the vehicle in front before immediately disappearing. In reply to a comment on the video, the user also indicated it was created using AI. While generative AI technology is rapidly improving, visual inconsistencies persist and are the best way to identify fabricated content.
