Riverside walks near Richmond and neighbouring Hammersmith parks have made it onto cinema screens worldwide in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest Marvel blockbuster starring Tom Holland. Ravenscourt Park, just a short distance from Richmond’s Thames Path, appears in a pivotal scene of the film, which has just posted the biggest opening weekend in box office history.
Which local spots made the cut
The production filmed under the working title Blue Oasis.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council confirmed that Ravenscourt Park and the former Royal Masonic Hospital, both within easy reach of Richmond, were used during filming. The movie, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Zendaya alongside Holland, is a direct sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home and picks up with Peter Parker’s story. While Richmond’s own parks did not feature, the nearby location offers a pleasant reminder of how film crews value the green spaces and heritage buildings across west London.
If you walk regularly along the Thames or explore parks beyond the borough boundary, you may recognise the scenery on screen.

The first leaves turning in Richmond gardens
The first leaves turning in Richmond gardens signal autumn’s arrival with quiet certainty. Horse chestnuts at Marble Hill Park show yellow edges. Lime trees along the towpath glow amber in late afternoon light. The change creeps in slowly, then all at once. You notice it first in the morning. Shadows stretch longer across the lawn. […]
