IF YOU haven't found your Christmas spirit just yet, then maybe it's time to visit one of these festive filming locations.<\/p>\n
A team of travel experts at StressFreeCarRental.com have revealed the seven filming locations holidaymakers can visit – and three of their top picks are in the UK. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While the cobbled street and colourful houses may look very unassuming, the pink<\/span> house at number 27 was used as a filming location in Love Actually. <\/p>\n Set on St Luke's Mews in Notting Hill, the brightly-coloured house was used as a backdrop for the moment Mark (played by Andrew Lincoln) expressed his love to Juliet (played by\u00a0Keira Knightley) on a series of handwritten signs.<\/p>\n Although the road is public and visiting the street is an easy task, the council has had to ask people not to turn up and take pictures. <\/p>\n Another one of the film's crucial moments was also shot in London. <\/p>\n The heartfelt chat between Daniel (played by Liam Neeson) and his stepson Sam (played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster) was filmed on a bench in front of Gabriel's Wharf on South Bank.<\/p>\n The bench is located outside The Wharf Restaurant in London at 56 Upper Ground, SE1 9PP.<\/p>\n While Shere, a village in\u00a0Surrey, dates all the way back to 1086, when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book, it has a much more modern claim to fame. <\/p>\n The tiny English village has been made famous as a filming location for the much-loved film The Holiday. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Several spots in the town were used in the movie, including the White Horse Pub. <\/p>\n In the film, Amanda (played by Cameron Diaz) and Graham (played by Jude Law) enjoy a cosy date in the Grade II listed building. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Other filming locations in the town include <\/p>\n And it's not just\u00a0The Holiday\u00a0that films there – The Wedding Date as well as Bridget Jones was shot there too.<\/p>\n While popular TV shows like Merlin were filmed at Warwick Castle, the Medieval fortress was also used as a set for the Christmas film The Nativity! <\/p>\n Other places across the West Midlands also featured in the feel-good film, including Avoncroft Museum, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Coventry Cathedral.<\/p>\n John Charnock, CEO of\u00a0StressFreeCarRental.com\u00a0said: "Fans can actually visit the\u00a0filming\u00a0locations\u00a0of some of the most classic festive movies.<\/p>\n "You can ride on the train that inspired\u00a0The Polar Express\u00a0and go ice skating at the Rockefeller\u00a0Christmas\u00a0tree where Buddy and Jovie have their first kiss in\u00a0Elf.<\/p>\n "Fans can also visit iconic homes of\u00a0Christmas\u00a0movie\u00a0characters – like the McCallisters' house in\u00a0Home Alone\u00a0and Ralphie Parker\u2019s home in\u00a0A\u00a0Christmas\u00a0Story." <\/p>\nRead More on Christmas Travel<\/h2>\n
