For the recent third instalment of the 'Night at the Museum' series, Ben Stiller and the cast and crew of the previous two films travelled to London to film in The British Museum. But aside from the fun times on set, what did Stiller find to be the best thing about filming in the UK?

Well, "The best thing about filming in the UK," according to Stiller, "was the sunshine. Just loads of sunshine when we were filming there. And the warmth." He was joking, of course. "We filmed in January" he confessed, before explaining that "I think it rained every second we were there." This isn't exactly surprising, as January 2014 saw the south of England's wettest month on record, with around five months' worth of rain in some parts of the country. Stiller continued to say "all the exterior shots it would rain, and then when we went inside it would stop raining." He kept optimistic, however, as he explained "it was great because it looks good on camera to see the wet surfaces on everything."

Wet weather aside, however, Stiller apparently enjoyed his trip to London. "It was fun to film in Trafalgar Square," he said. "It was fun to film inside the British Museum, which nobody had ever filmed in before, so we got to see a lot of cool stuff up close." But it wasn't all work, as Stiller revealed that "actually just being in the real place is always exciting; I got to get a really cool tour of the Tower of London".
