Well, you’ve rung the bell at the right stop. At Love Locations, we’ve been on a mission to scout some of the UK’s most atmospheric spaces—whether it's a heritage railway station, an Art Deco control room with gleaming dials, or the thunder of hooves on race day. If you’re filming, planning a photoshoot, or looking for a show-stopping event space, these transport-themed locations deliver character by the carriage-load.
All Aboard – The Bluebell Heritage Railway
Every train spotter’s dream, the Bluebell Railway is a beautiful vintage line with working steam trains and fully furnished period carriages. The line includes four original stations:

Horsted Keynes – Victorian era (1882)

East Grinstead – Modern reconstruction
Each stop has been preserved to reflect its era, and the line runs for 11 miles through the stunning Sussex countryside.
The Details That Matter
