Lights, Camera, Action in the Royal Docks Trail
Lights, Camera, Action in the Royal Docks Trail celebrates the Royal Docks’ long history as a backdrop for major films, TV shows, music videos, and photography shoots, thanks to its striking industrial architecture, dramatic waterfront views, and iconic locations like Millennium Mills, Silvertown Studios, and The Beams. From The Batman and Paddington 2 to music videos by Coldplay, The Smiths, and Arctic Monkeys, the area has starred in countless productions.
Now you can explore these filming and photography spots yourself on our 5k self‑guided walking trail, with every location pinned on a Google Map for easy navigation. To make your walk even more immersive, follow the trail while listening to our Lights, Camera, Action Spotify playlist, featuring tracks from the films, shows, and music videos shot right here in the Royal Docks.
Part of the London Festival of Architecture and At the Docks 2026.
