Former Hopkins staff include Chris Wilkinson, Bill Dunster, and John Pringle and Ian Sharratt (who went on to set up Pringle Richards Sharratt)

Buildings by Hopkins appear in two James Bond films. The interior of the IBM Building at Bedfont Lakes serves as the location for Elliot Carver's media party in Hamburg in Tomorrow Never Dies. In the following film, The World Is Not Enough, Portcullis House makes a fleeting appearance in the boat chase down the Thames.

On 22 October 2006, the practice's Westminster Underground Station was closed for the day to allow filming for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to take place for a scene where Harry takes the tube with Arthur Weasley to go to a disciplinary hearing at the Ministry of Magic.{{Cite news |date=2006-10-22 |title=Harry Potter rides on London Tube |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/6075206.stm |access-date=2024-03-01 |language=en-GB}}

As one of the main venues during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the interior and exterior of the 2012 London Velodrome featured prominently during track cycling events on many major networks throughout the world.
