London is a popular setting in films and has also been featured on the cover of various famous albums.
From the location-setting images of Big Ben in the film, Independence Day, to the famous pedestrian crossing on the cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road album, images of London often appear on screen and in print.
Many of the locations are still as they were when captured on film - and they are free to visit.
