This memorial to the creator of Winne the Pooh in the heart of the Five Hundred Acre Wood is inscribed with a quote from The House at Pooh Corner: And by and by they came to an enchanted place on the very top of the Forest called Galleons Lap. The plaque continues to proclaim that here at Gills Lap are commemorated A. A. Milne 1882-1956 and E. H. Shepard 1879-1976 who collaborated in the creation of “Winnie-The-Pooh” and so captured the magic of Ashdown Forest and gave it to the world.

Battersea Park is a public park in London. You may recognize the distinct walkway running through the center as the area where Kermit, Miss Piggy, and a whole slew of Muppets rode bikes in The Great Muppet Caper (1981). Filmed in September of 1980, this was the first time multiple Muppet character road bicycles simultaneously, achieved through a combination of radio controls, marionette puppeteering, and a rod that joined the bikes together.

Scenes for 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story were filmed in London’s Canary Wharf underground tube station. “My first job ever in television was just round the corner… [I thought:] This is something from the future. This is like a sci-fi movie. If I ever get to do a sci-fi film in my life I’m gonna film it here.” – Rogue One Director Gareth Edwards The station’s dark and metallic tones set the perfect mood as the interior of an Imperial Base. Unfortunately, these scenes never made the final cut of the film but they do appear in the official teaser trailer (at the 1:12 mark).

Cotchford Farm was the country home of author A. A. Milne from 1925 to his death in 1956. It was here that Milne wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, inspired by the surrounding forest’s Five Hundred Acre Wood. Recently sold, the home’s gardens feature original statues of Christopher Robin and a sundial with carvings of Pooh, the author’s initials, and the following quote: This warm and sunny spot belongs to Pooh, And here he wonders what it’s time to do. Unfortunately, the property is not currently open to the public.

The Five Hundred Acre Wood is a section of Ashdown Forest in southern England, 40 miles outside of London. It was here that author A. A. Milne was inspired to write his Winnie-the-Pooh stories, naming the area the Hundred Acre Wood in his books. Within this public park, you can find a number of Pooh-related sites including Gill’s Lap (called Galleon’s Lap in the Poohniverse), Pooh Bridge, and a teashop devoted to our favorite pantless bear. It was on the nearby Cotchford Farm that Milne wrote all of the Winnie-the-Pooh books. A pamphlet and detailed map of these and more Pooh sites can be downloaded from the Ashdown Forest’s website for a small donation.

Greenham Common’s GLCM (Ground Launched Cruise Missile) Alert and Maintenance Area was used as a filming location for 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
