London Becomes the Stage for Charli XCX’s The Moment—What This Means for Film Locations
London is once again at the centre of a major film production as A24’s latest feature, The Moment, starring and produced by UK singer-songwriter Charli XCX, begins filming in the city. With an all-star cast including Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette and Jamie Demetriou, the film is shaping up to be a major moment for both pop culture and the film industry.
But beyond the headlines about Charli XCX’s move into film production, The Moment is also a testament to London’s ongoing appeal as a premier filming location. Directed by Aidan Zamiri, a longtime collaborator of Charli XCX, the film follows the life of a pop star in the lead-up to her first headline arena tour. The city itself is sure to play a key role in setting the scene—just as The White Lotus has demonstrated how a well-chosen location can drive the script.

For a film exploring the life of a pop star, London offers an electric backdrop—whether it's the grandeur of its iconic concert venues, the edgy atmosphere of East London’s music scene or the luxury hotels and exclusive members’ clubs that define the celebrity lifestyle.
