Movies filmed at Big Ben
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Big Ben as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Big Ben, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
