I use this website a lot for work work so I simply had to share it with you. Derelict London is a site dedicated to showing the other side of London - be if for fillming, modelling, photography or your own pleasure. Pubs, waterways, hospitals (scary) and vehicles are all included sections.

Many of the sites have restriced access so this is a great way of finding that perfect derelict location. Well that is what I think, this is what the guys behind the site say...

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Urban Exploration Tourism:** Developing tourism around the exploration and showcasing of abandoned / unused spaces in cities can yield economic and cultural benefits, and may create opportunities for sustainable development.
- **Nostalgia Marketing:** Repurposing and reimagining the aesthetics of derelict and abandoned spaces can evoke a sense of nostalgia and invite curiosity and engagement for products, services, and events.
- **Unconventional Filmography:** Exploring and utilizing unconventional, abandoned locations for film production can open up new avenues for creativity and storytelling strategies.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Hospitality:** Derelict London locations can be turned into destinations for unique and immersive experiences, which can be leveraged as a marketing hook for hospitality and tourism businesses.
- **Marketing and Advertising:** The images and stories of derelict London create strong emotional resonance and can be used by marketing and advertising agencies to build brand awareness and customer loyalty.
- **Film and Entertainment:** Derelict London represents an untapped goldmine of unique locations for filmmakers and entertainment industries seeking to create authentic and gritty visuals.
