Films made in Putney
Putney is often used for filming. Over the years you may have spotted familiar landscape in Minder, Sweeney, Family Affairs, Prime Suspect, Poirot, Miss Marple, New Tricks, Silent Witness, and Jack Whitehall Travels with my Father.
The most famous film is Love Actually (2003) which follows the lives of eight couples in dealing with their love lives. These interrelating tales are all set during the frantic month before Christmas in London. The scene in which multiple storylines come together is the school Christmas concert which was filmed in Elliott School in Putney, now renamed Ark Putney Academy.
More recently you may have spotted residential roads from Putney in the Netflix series Baby Reindeer. The story centres on struggling comedian Donny Dunn’s (Gadd) strange and layered relationship with a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning), whose initially friendly demeanour unravels as she begins to stalk Donny relentlessly.
A blast from the past, Four in the Morning (1965) was filmed and set in Putney. The film follows the dramatic result of two couples in a crisis and their mysterious connection to a drowned women found in a river. This film famously stars a young Dame Judi Dench and is perfect for fans of her more recent work.
