As the town hall bears some resemblance to the Palace of Westminster, it has been used as a location for television and films. The 2003 BBC series "State of Play" was filmed here as were the films "Ali G Indahouse" in 2001, "Sherlock Holmes" in 2008, "The Iron Lady" in 2011, and "Victor Frankenstein" in 2014. The 2018 BBC One series "A Very English Scandal" also used the town hall as a stand-in for the interiors of the Palace of Westminster.
