The HAC’s five-acre Artillery Garden is one of the most distinctive outdoor filming locations in London. The garden’s vast green expanse, framed by the Georgian manor house and the modern City skyline, offers filmmakers an impressive dual backdrop. Whether capturing wide-angle shots or intimate moments, the garden provides endless possibilities for outdoor scenes.
