CASUALTY AT THE OLD NATWEST

The cast and crew of 'Casualty' descended on to Bute Street yesterday on the doorstep of the Old NatWest.

Emergency services vehicles, a large scaffolding rig and Kathleen 'Dixie' Dixon (Jane Hazlegrove) were all present for the shoot. We have no details as to the plot of the episode but what we can tell you is that it looks sure to be brilliant.

Our resident concierge and newly appointed building photographer, John Munton, managed to take a few snaps of the set before landing himself a photo with 'Dixie herself'. Check out the photos below.

BBC CHOOSES THE OLD NATWEST BUILDING

The Old NatWest Building was alight with stars last Monday as the cast and crew of ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ took to the banking hall for their latest shoot.
Former Spooks star Keeley Hawes was present, filming her scenes in the grand banking hall, which had been restored to a glimpse of its former glory, thanks to the talented set-design team who had transformed the space into a 1930’s Berlin cafe.

These pictures show the terrific work of the production team and remind us of the hall’s grandeur and fantastic architecture.

The stars of ‘Casualty’ also visited the building recently for a shoot outside, demonstrating the attraction of the site as a versatile filming location. They will be returning again in January to film additional scenes inside.
