Most of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials (the recent Netflix adaptation) was filmed around the south-west of the UK, with key extra scenes in Spain.

Main filming locations

  • Badminton House, Gloucestershire (England) – Used as “Chimneys”, the grand country estate at the centre of the story.
  • Westonbirt School, near Tetbury, Gloucestershire – Stands in for Wyvern Abbey, with its ornate interiors and surrounding grounds.
  • Bath, Somerset (Abbey Green, Great Pulteney Street and other streets) – Doubles for the fictional Market Basing and some London street scenes.
  • Bristol, England – Queen Square and other period buildings are used for interiors such as the Seven Dials Club, with further sets built at The Bottle Yard Studios to recreate 1920s London.
  • West Somerset Railway & Blue Anchor Bay, Somerset – Provide the vintage railway sequences and coastal countryside shots.
  • Minehead, Somerset – Used for additional town and coastal exteriors.
  • Cardiff, Wales (Crown Court, university buildings) – Some courtroom and institutional interiors.
  • Ronda, Spain – The Spanish bullring and surrounding town appear in the flashback sequences set in Spain.

Quick context

Although the story is set partly in London’s real Seven Dials area, those London streets were largely recreated on Bristol soundstages and via VFX rather than shot in the actual neighbourhood, which is now too busy and modern to pass for the 1920s.
