National Institute for Medical ResearchWhere is it? Mill Hill, in north west London. What is it? Well, the answer’s kind of in the name. It’s the UK’s centre for research of a medical nature, and has been since the Medical Research Council was moved there in 1950. This is where they discovered the interferon, so that’s probably exciting if you’re a medical student. What did it play onscreen? Several locations in the building played bits of Arkham Asylum in Batman Begins. Sure, a few parts were filmed in St Pancras and the Abbey Mills Pumping Station as well, but this is probably the most familiar bit of the Asylum. Can I visit? Well, there’s a Schools Day every year where pupils can visit to learn more about a career in science, so if you can disguise yourself as a spoddy teenager, you could be in luck! While you’re there, apparently there’s a staff canteen and social club with bar, so wahey!

| 1 | You can actually go to Nottingham's Wollaton Hall... | Thanks narf17 - I was a bit bugged that the Wayne Manor you can actually visit was given a throwaway sentence. For a travel guide it's handy to be able to go there!! www.wollatonhall.org.uk
I love Wollaton Park, a beautiful hall, majestic deer across the park and a lovely lake walk - my family and I always go when people come to stay with us. Entry is free and you only pay a couple of quid to park. More

| | 5 | | Nice to see a mention of Wollaton Hall in the copy. You can visit it every day of the year for free, unlike the place in Bucks. More

| | 6 | | Spent a lot of time at Wollaton Park when I was at uni. Remember reading the Inception Issue of Empire and Christopher Nolan's big plans for the The Dark Knight follow up just in front of Wollaton Manor. If I had known it was being used as a location... More

Bloody production crew even knocked down a wall while filming it because the truck didn't fit through the gap! More

| | 9 | Where's... | Glasgow? I heard a rumour that Nolan filmed some in Glasgow as he loved the old architecture of the city and it reminded him of what he thinks Gotham would be like. More
