Liverpool city centre transformed into 1960s London for ITV spy thriller, The Ipcress File

 

Liverpool city centre was once again transformed into 1960s London as filming continues for a new ITV spy thriller.

North John Street was transported back in time to the swinging 60s as a cast and crew visited to film a new version of The Ipcress File.

Michael Caine famously starred in the 60s movie inspired by Len Deighton’s novel set during the height of the Cold War.

The ITV production has been filming in Liverpool city centre over the last few months and today the crew was based near the business district.

Actors and extras were seen in 1960s dress, while a retro double decker London bus was spotted.

Old fashioned black cabs were also seen outside of a vintage looking Odeon cinema.

The new ITV spy thriller stars Joe Cole, Harry Palmer, Lucy Boynton and Tom Hollander and is adapted by BAFTA winning Trainspotting writer John Hodge.

Len Deighton's novel will be adapted into a six part series for ITV, with the majority of filming taking place in Liverpool and other scenes being shot in Croatia later this year.

Film crews have so far filmed outside of The Philharmonic Pub, Exchange Street West and Lime Street.
