An Oscar-winning horror, a hospital-based comedy and a recent Mafia crime series all had scenes shot in these west London establishments.
But can you guess which hospitals have been well-trodden by film and TV royalty?

Northwick Park
Harrow's Northwick Park hosted the Anti-Christ in 1976 when film crews descended to shoot for the Oscar-winning horror flick, The Omen. Scenes were shot in the hospital's upper floors and actor Gregory Peck’s resuscitative powers were said to rival clinicians as unwell female patients abandoned their beds and rushed upstairs hoping to see him.
Satan aside, Northwick Park served as a set for comedy series Green Wing, in which it became the fictional East Hampton Hospital.
Film crews from Bafta-winning series The Edge of Darkness, starring Mel Gibson, came to Northwick Park to shoot and scenes from popular 1970s police drama The Sweeney were also filmed there.

McMafia and Humans are among more recent hard-hitting TV successes to be filmed in Ealing Hospital but comedy shows including Man Down and Porters which follows the hapless adventures of a hospital porter, have also been filmed there.
