For fans of film and TV, England offers countless nostalgia-stirring sites
JEDDAH: England is a place where cinematic fiction and reality often blur — its charming neighborhoods and historic landmarks have served as the backdrop to some of the world's most beloved films. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ In May, Arab News joined a press trip organized by VisitBritain in partnership with Virgin Atlantic, celebrating the launch of the airline's new Riyadh to London route. Having arrived well-rested, following a luxurious experience in Virgin's Upper Class cabin, we checked into London's The May Fair Hotel, just off Piccadilly — a surprisingly tranquil central base for the adventure ahead. Our trip was a deep dive into the UK's cinematic soul, featuring a bespoke tour of London in classic Mini Coopers, driven by enthusiastic local guides. Our first stop was the famous blue door at 280 Westbourne Park Road — from the 1999 rom-com 'Notting Hill,' starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts — where a replica, painted to match the film's version, has been installed — perfect for a nostalgic photo op. Just around the corner is Alice's, the whimsical antique shop featured in 2014's 'Paddington.' With its vintage charm, Alice's felt straight out of a storybook. Portobello Road, where the shop is located, is a cinematic destination all on its own, brimming with colorful buildings, lively market stalls, and timeless London charm. Next was the distinguished Huntsman at 11 Savile Row, a prestigious bespoke tailor that inspired the secret service headquarters in 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' (2014), and which draws in fashion lovers and film fans alike. At Borough Market, one of London's oldest food markets, we visited the flat above The Globe Tavern, famous as the heroine's home in 2001's 'Bridget Jones's Diary,' outside of which the street fight between Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver was filmed. No culture-themed visit to London is complete without a West End musical, and we attended 'The Devil Wears Prada' at the Dominion Theatre. With soaring vocals, sharp choreography, and impeccable fashion details, the performance successfully captured the wit and flair of the beloved 2006 film on which it is based. On our third day, we journeyed to the serene city of Oxford, passing through the storybook English countryside — rolling hills, stone cottages, and emerald fields. Before exploring the city, we checked into Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, founded by celebrated chef Raymond Blanc. This luxurious manor blends rustic elegance with culinary excellence and is surrounded by lavender-scented gardens, orchards, and organic vegetable patches — a whimsical escape into an English fairytale. Afternoon tea was served in the charming cottages scattered across the estate, which offer each guest their own intimate space overlooking the gardens. Every detail was immaculate: from the handpicked fruit platter to delicate chocolate and mandarin cakes, and airy macarons made with sustainable, organic ingredients harvested on-site. It was a moment of calm indulgence — a countryside retreat that felt both restorative and magical. In Oxford, the charismatic Jim Palmer led us on a walking tour of its most famous corners. The city — particularly its prestigious university — has appeared in dozens of productions, but none as magical as the 'Harry Potter' series. At Christ Church College, we stood in the Great Hall that inspired Hogwarts' dining room, and climbed the grand staircase featured in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.' The Divinity School nearby doubled as Hogwarts' infirmary and classrooms in several of the films. We also visited New College, where fans of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' will recognize the ancient tree beneath which Draco Malfoy is turned into a ferret by Professor Moody. Oxford's cinematic résumé stretches far beyond wizards, though. Its colleges, libraries, and cobblestone streets have appeared in 'The Theory of Everything,' 'The Golden Compass,' 'Shadowlands,' 'Brideshead Revisited,' and even the 'X-Men' franchise. Fans of TV detective dramas will also recognize it from 'Inspector Morse,' 'Lewis,' and 'Endeavour.' After our tour, we were whisked off to the luxury shopping destination Bicester Village. At The Apartment, an exclusive lounge space, we were pampered with gourmet treats and a concierge service that made high-end shopping feel both effortless and elegant. Our trip concluded in style back at Heathrow Airport, where we enjoyed the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse — an oasis of calm featuring sleeping zones, yoga areas, private showers, and premium dining. From Oxford's collegiate quietude to the sparkle of London's West End, and from iconic film locations to moments of personal luxury, this trip offered more than sightseeing; it was a cinematic immersion that brought some of our favorite stories to life.
