Interior scenes for a new film called Spiral were shot in Kings Langley’s Fred and Ginger Coffee from 8am until 1pm today (March 22).

The street was a hive of activity with lights and equipment covering the pavement and crew members busy at work.

However, staff remained tight-lipped on what the movie is about or who is starring in it.

SP Film Productions has still not confirmed if it is linked to the Spiral film released in 2021, featuring Chris Rock and Samuel L Jackson.

Despite many people coming in and out of the shop, who could have been actors or supporting artists, no famous faces were seen. However, access was restricted during filming, so it's not impossible that A-listers were sneaking in for takes.

Having the production in the High Street caused excitement among people walking by.

Terry Fidler, 76, who lives on the outskirts of Kings Langley, said he goes into the coffee shop most days.

But the structural engineer wasn’t disappointed that he couldn’t today.

He said: “It’s good for the village to have filming. It gives the place a real buzz. I’m all for it.”

Michelle Rolph, 44, from Apsley who works in customer service, was travelling through the village and said: “It is nice to see they are using a local area.”

Unfortunately, Raymon Timberlake, 87, from Kings Langley, didn’t see any famous faces, but he did see a group of people walking out of the shop.

“At the time, I didn’t realise they were filming, it’s interesting,” he added.

Mark Griffin, 47, who works in IT and is from Watford, happened to be in the area for a bike ride.

He said he "had a nose" to see if he could find out more, adding: “I love seeing filming going on. I’m always impressed how much the area is used for filming.”

Eileen and Fergus Cotter, in their 70s, said they were made aware of the filming through Facebook.

The couple who live in the village said: “It’s good to have some variety in the high street.

“We can see why they have used that coffee shop. It’s nice in there, very rustic.”
