Here’s a funny truth: The show is set in London. But it never films there. They fake it all in Northern Ireland.
Look closely at the street signs. They’re often bilingual: English and Irish. That’s a dead giveaway. Oops.
Even the famous “motorway” scenes are shot near Belfast’s M2 and M3. The traffic is real. The tension is not. It’s a clever illusion that totally works.
Why It’s Fun to Know This
Knowing the locations turns you into a detective. You’ll watch an episode and yell, “Hey! That’s the same car park from season 3!” It’s like a game.
You’ll appreciate the production magic. They turn a boring office block into a den of corruption. They make a quiet street feel like a death trap.
Plus, it makes you sound like an expert at parties. “Oh, that warehouse scene? That’s actually a carpet showroom in Belfast.” Drop that mic.
