The scene
What happened at The blue door
William’s house, with its blue door, is where Anna Scott hides from the press, and where Spike opens the door to a crowd of photographers.
The door was reportedly screenwriter Richard Curtis’s own front door at the time. Fans have been making the pilgrimage ever since.
