List of films and television shows shot in Liverpool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Filming for a Ladbrokes Bingo advert, taking place just off Water Street in Liverpool City Centre

The city of Liverpool, England, is a popular location for the filming and setting of films and television shows, both fictional and real. The following article provides a list of films and television shows which have been shot in Liverpool. The list includes a wide array of films and TV shows, ranging from those that were almost entirely shot and set in the city (e.g. The 51st State, Brookside) to those where only a small number of scenes were set or shot in Liverpool (e.g. Across the Universe).

Media is an important component of Liverpool's economy and in 2019 brought over £17.6m into the local area, with 324 productions racking up 1,750 production days.[1] After London, it is the most filmed city in the United Kingdom.[2] The Liverpool Film Office, founded in 1989, was the first of its kind in the United Kingdom and along with North West Vision and Media and the UK Film Council acts to promote the city to film and television producers. In addition to attracting outside producers, Liverpool is also home to Lime Pictures, the UK's largest independent television production company.[3]

Liverpool's rich architectural base means it is frequently used as a double for major cities across the globe, including Chicago, London, Moscow, New York, Paris and Rome.[4][5] It is also able to utilise a large number of historic sites within the city that are openly available for filming, including the now decommissioned courtrooms of St. George's Hall,[6] or the nineteenth century warehouses around Stanley Dock.[4]
