=== Filming locations === <!-- This list should be converted to prose. --> * Some scenes were filmed at [[Canary Wharf]] in London—indeed, the film duplicates the single real tower into two identical ones (albeit on the real site) for the fictional London Hospital and Sauvage's headquarters at [[One Canada Square|1 Canada Square]]. * The scenes set in [[Westminster Abbey]] were filmed in [[St Albans Cathedral|St. Albans Abbey]]:<ref name="film locations">{{cite web |title=Johnny English (2003) |publisher=British Film Locations |year=2015 |url=http://www.british-film-locations.com/Johnny-English-2003 |access-date=30 December 2015 |archive-date=9 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221109213944/http://www.british-film-locations.com/Johnny-English-2003 |url-status=dead }}</ref> though this connection is solely implied through the dialogue—for this footage is never intercut with footage of the real abbey's exterior. The interior (with the televisual screen hiding the St Albans organ) is clearly St Albans. The choir singing in the coronation scene is [[St Albans Cathedral Choir]]. * Both the exteriors and interiors in the introductory dream sequence scene are in [[Mentmore Towers]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ukonscreen.com/hhcfidb-Johnny-English-(2003).html |title=Johnny English filming locations |publisher=UK Onscreen |access-date=7 February 2010 |archive-date=23 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100223053307/http://www.ukonscreen.com/hhcfidb-Johnny-English-(2003).html |url-status=dead }}</ref> * The exterior and interior of [[MI7]]'s headquarters which English enters at the start is [[Freemasons' Hall, London]],<ref name="film locations"/> which is also used as [[Thames House]] (the MI5 headquarters) in ''[[Spooks (TV series)|Spooks]]''. * The scenes where Johnny English drives into [[Dover, Kent]] along the [[A20 road (England)|A20 road]] (with [[Dover Castle]] in the background) and then enters the [[Port of Dover]] (with a "Dover Ferry Terminal" sign, Dover's Athol Terrace and the [[White Cliffs of Dover]] in the background) to catch a ferry to France, were all shot on location.<ref>{{cite web|author=Kent Film Office|url=http://kentfilmoffice.co.uk/2003/11/johnny-english-2003/|title=Kent Film Office Johnny English Film Focus|date=2 November 2003 }}</ref> * The exterior of Sauvage's French château is actually the castle atop [[St Michael's Mount]] in Cornwall.<ref name="film locations"/> * The scenes in [[Brompton Cemetery]] were filmed there.<ref name="film locations"/>
