Tate Modern, Bankside, SE1

While the world-famous old Battersea Power Station stumbles from one failed scheme to another, Bankside streaked ahead to a new, wildly successful lease of life as Tate Modern.

It has another new identity imaginatively bestowed on it in Richard Loncraine’s Thirties-set Richard III, where it becomes the ‘Tower of London’, a massively intimidating Eastern European-style prison. Of course, it’s really all sweetness and light inside, with a stunning exhibition space and a not bad café. Stop for a little refreshment, like Bridget (Renée Zellweger) and chums, who hang out here in Bridget Jones’s Diary. The building became the villain's ‘Kenworth Laboratories’ in Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London.

Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) bumps into Nola (Scarlett Johansson) in the gallery in Woody Allen's Match Point, while the vast Turbine Hall became the interior of the ‘Ark of the Arts’ for Alfonso Cuarón’s Children Of Men. As a kind of consolation prize, the exterior is poor old Battersea Power Station (with its own entrance bridge added digitally).
