Anne of Green Gables at the National Club

Did you know The National Club was one of the external sets for the movie "Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story" (2000)?

The director decided that The National Club was perfect to stand in for a London hotel. You might not place it immediately because the buildings to the north of the Club were CGI-ed out with a massive green screen and replaced with what looks like Regent Street from the actual London. The director's description of the challenges of shooting on Bay Street and the technical requirements are below, along with some fuzzy screen captures form the movie itself. You will recognize our front door and railing with our logo.
