LIVE IN THE NEW BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY MOVIE FILMING LOCATION The much loved 1930s landmark, Hornsey Town Hall, which has played host to a royalty of stars including Queen and the hit TV series The Crown, is being transformed into a new destination, featuring the refurbishment of the Town Hall and a collection of new homes. This North London filming location has featured in many TV, film, theatre productions and TV adverts over the years, and has even been a gig venue. Hornsey Town Hall is featured in latest series of The Crown, Rupert the Bear - a new film out soon, The Samsung Christmas TV advert, Criminal Justice, Spooks, The Hour and Whitechapel TV series, and mostly famously the Bohemian Rhapsody film all about Freddie Mercury and Queen, which is due to be released this Autumn. Many years ago, Queen even played there before becoming famous on 19th February 1971, as a supporting band, when they were still called The Queen.
