Filming In Bristol – Young Sherlock Moves to St Paul’s

Portland Square in St Paul’s latest filming location in Bristol

Local residents will have noticed subtle changes taking place to Portland Square in St Pauls over the last week. A bizarre gathering of set dressing items have been making their way in and out of vans as well as contemporary street furniture being covered up.

It was of course for a day of filming today, which has seen the square taking a step back in time. Cars on the busy square made way for horses and carriages.
