London Film Museum
The London Film Museum is a unique interactive museum attraction right next to the London Eye, giving the visitor a fantastic look behind the scenes of some of the greatest films ever made.
The experience is suitable for the whole family and also a hugely educational experience covering how films are made, the genres, the history of the British Studios and all the individuals and industries that come together to make movies a reality. You will also find original props and costumes from favourites including Superman, You Only Live Twice, Star Wars and Alien amongst others.
Come and have your photo taken with Rexy from Night At The Museum 2, talk to Huw-J our in-house animator, sit in Queen Elizabeth's throne, and meet the Alien Queen! Don't forget your camera!
