I'm from the neighborhood where movies like 'Paddington' and 'Spectre' were filmed. Living on a set is exciting.

I live in Camden Town in London, where movies like "Spectre" and "Paddington" were filmed.
I'm used to seeing film crews blocking the streets, but I've never really minded the fuss.

My London neighborhood of Camden Town has been featured in many TV shows and big-budget movies. I've spotted familiar streets in everything from "Paddington" to the "James Bond" franchise.

Walking my dog occasionally necessitates a diversion because roads are closed for live shoots. But the excitement of living here outweighs any such inconveniences.

Paddington’s street is both pretty and peaceful.
