Ewan McGregor as Christopher Robin brought Disney’s Winnie the Pooh to the streets of London.

The huge production, featuring up to 200 cast and crew on location shoots, worked hard to rub along with real Londoners, inviting them to set visits, making donations to local communities and respecting special requests.

FilmFixer manages the film office service for Southwark, Lambeth, Haringey and Camden which hosted the filming.

FilmFixer CEO Karen Everett explains, “In the trailer there are some lovely scenes of Ewan McGregor as Christopher Robin, speaking to Pooh Bear in a garden square.

“This was Merrick Square in Southwark where 150 cast and crew filmed over four days in September last year.
