"The surprise Golden Globes best picture, which has its star, Rami Malek, shortlisted for best actor at the Oscars for his role as Freddie Mercury, includes a surprise filming location. The Griffin pub is a trad-Brit sort of joint near Brentford football club, with a menu including fish and chips, burgers and sausage and mash. Though supper club offerings are a cut above, include ‘locally-sourced pigeon’ lobster and osso bucco, the decor is so steeped in early 1980s nostalgia — all red and yellow carpets, oak-wood-panels and a stack of trophies teeming next to the darts board — that it was the perfect location for a cameo. For a scene set in 1985, over 100 pub-goers, all crammed in, watch Queen play at Live Aid." - Sophie Wilkinson
