Filming at Senate House
The stunning Modernist design of Charles Holden's Senate House has provided a stylish backdrop to many famous films and television programmes.
Hosting famous characters from Jeeves and Wooster to the Batman himself... the glorious, art deco plumes of Senate House and its surrounding area have made their mark on the world of moving image.
With such a significant historical presence, it’s easy to see how Senate House has motivated writers and filmmakers to create stories and settings that are reflections of the building itself.
Batman and Senate House
Senate House has very close ties with the Batman franchise, as both the Batman Begins and Dark Knight Rises films used Senate House extensively for filming.
In addition to this, the University of London was honoured to be chosen as the backdrop upon which the Bat-signal was shone to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Batman's creation.
