Ok so I just found out that I will be spending next year in England, and I was going to try and visit some key Coldplay sites. Can someone please tell me if they know the name of the beach where Yellow was shot, which I have heard before but can't remember, and also if anyone knows in which forest The Scientist was filmed? Thanks so much.

I know yellow was filmed in Studland Bay.. not sure about the the forest in The Scientist though.

Wow, your going to England!?! Very, very cool! :D All I know is the forest is somewhere just outside London. Not much help sorry, but that's all i know

ya I'm going on exchange to Luton University, not my number one choice but the only partner school I could go to in England. So thanks for the location of the Yellow beach, now I just need information on the forest for The Scientist.

I believe it's in Surrey.

I've seen the location, where The Scientist was being filmed, on the official Coldplay site. Unfortunately the Q/A function is not available at the moment so you can't find it. But I think it was at 2 places, one street in Northern London and in a forest between London and Brighton.

owenrees_73, I love your avi :D

If you really want some key coldplay sites then you should go and see their old student flat (2nd floor, 268 Camden Road) where they formed the band. It mentioned it in a Rolling Stone interview with Chris:

 

The morning after four bombs detonate in London, Chris Martin climbs aboard a Number Twenty-nine red double-decker bus and up its winding stairs. As we slowly putter south down Camden Road, Martin whips back the top of his hooded sweat shirt, smiles and says, "I haven't done this in so long." He's not talking about riding public transportation but rather about a visit to his old neighborhood, where he and Coldplay first started writing, rehearsing and performing the songs that would shape the group's rise to the top of the charts. Soon we are riding by the former Laurel Tree club, the site of Coldplay's very first gig -- a sold-out affair under the awful name Starfish -- and where they scored their first paycheck, for 80 pounds (about $130), and split it four ways.

Further on, past the Lord Stanley pub, home to early band meetings and more than a few drunken nights, we hop off the bus and stroll up to a dingy three-story house at 268 Camden Road. Martin looks up to the second-story flat, once the headquarters of a Clash fan club. But in 1997, it was the apartment he shared with future Coldplay guitarist Jonny Buckland and two of their mates. "That's where we had our very first rehearsal," he says, pointing to Buckland's room. "We had drums and everything, and as long as we quit playing before midnight, no one complained. In no other house in London could you get away with that." For a moment he stands quietly as his brain floods with memories. "It's a dump, right?" he says, breaking the silence. "But we used to love it. I still love it with a passion. That's where we wrote the songs that got us signed. Right in there."

wow that's so cool. They should have a plaque outside "twas here Parachutes was penned" lol

Will also told in the video of Parachutes that they often played at 268 Camden Road. It was in Jonny's bedroom. ;)

 

When I spend my holidays in London last December I visited Will's flat and went from there to the UCL. It was an indescribable feeling to know walking the same way as Will did a few years before. :)

which parachutes video Larry?

Hm, it was the promo video of Parachutes. I think you'll find it in the Multimedia Section. But I can also upload it for you if you want. :)

Can you post the link Larry please :) ?

Thanks, its a picture taken from the first Toronto show, so hopefully that bit is on the dvd!

 

 

 

 

Ok so I was definitely going to see UCL, but now I'm thinking of going to that flat aswell. But I really want to see that forest where they did The Scientist, somewhere between London and Brighton is a good start. Thanks.
