One of Glasgow's most 'honkin' lanes to get Hollywood treatment for Batgirl filming

One of Glasgow's most 'honkin' - and cinematic - city centre lanes is to get the Hollywood treatment.

Batgirl production crews are to descend on Union Place, which lies just off Gordon Street between Union Street and Mitchell Street, to film scenes for the upcoming superhero movie.

The lane is a popular photo spot for Glaswegians and visitors alike who are looking to capture Glasgow in all its gloomy glory, and seems like a perfect 'Gotham City' fit if you ask us - much like other city spots they have chosen to film in.

It comes as Batgirl production crews prepare to film scenes in other city centre locations including on Hanover Street off George Square and in the old Savings Bank on Ingram Street.

While another city lane, Tontine Lane in the Merchant City, will also see filming in the not-too-distant future.

To enable filming to take place in the lane, Glasgow City Council has confirmed a number of road closures and parking restrictions in the vicinity. These are:
