The 60 most widely covered are above. The other 181 filmed in London:

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names London 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.

And 66 more, per Wikipedia:

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in London

23 productions shot at 23 places inside London, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against London itself.

11 more places are inside London — see them on the map.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in London, 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.

And 70 more, per Wikipedia:

Drawn from this place

Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names London as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
