Leicester


Picked this up in HMV Leicester today with a big sticker on the front saying "filmed in Leicester city centre".

What locations were used, any idea?

Thanks

To start with during the beginning of the movie

There is a brief scene outside leicester train station, then there is a glimpse of the clock tower, next is a shot of Granby street near game and finally the alleyway near the shoe menders/key cutters near the leicester market which is where the dirty bomb is placed. The main point of the movie is shot in the old leicester royal infirmary building when then trails to tudor park (the canelside)

Towards the climax of the movie abbey park canel bridge can be seen ( the aerial view that the main character Sarah has also shows Leicester college: st margarets campus before finally ending in Humberstone gate. The film ends with an aerial view of the town centre which shows the national space centre

There you go hope the info helps.

That's not the Space Center, it's Leicester Cathedral. The movie must have been made when the spire was in scaffolding for restoration...

Most of it was filmed in De Monfort University. Some of it was shot around Humberstone Gate and the rural scenes were in Aylestone Meadows. As far as i know, all of it was filmed here.
