The lovely square where the building of the Tambury Gazette is set, is located on the centre of Hemel Hempstead, at 48 High St. Very close from there are the Old Town Hall, Gadebridge Park and St Mary's Church (where Tony walks his dog in some scenes).

Jordans Antique Centre and all the other shops, restaurants and pubs around the square are real business open to the public. Image courtesy of Netflix - Google Maps
The Coffee Cup place from the second episode is also in High Street. Hemel Hempstead is located only 24 miles northwest of London, but pretty far from any beach. Image courtesy of Netflix - Google Maps
The charming street where Tony lives is located in Vale of Health, a tiny hamlet with a pond in Hampstead (London), that has survived development pressures over time. Image courtesy of Netflix and Google Maps
In the third episode, Tony goes to walk the dog. After a short path they travel many miles away, turning up in the wonderful Camber Sands beach in East Sussex. Image courtesy of Diamond Geezer - Map
The scene pictured above from the 4th episode was filmed in The Hill Garden and Pergola (west of Vale of Health). This magnificent Georgian park was also featured in the first episode. Tony’s date takes place in the Villa Bianca Italian restaurant in Hampstead. The garage where Julian sleeps is located in Flask Walk, also in Hampstead.

Many scenes were filmed in Beaconsfield (Buckinghamshire). The care home is the Old Town Registration Office, and the graveyard is almost across the street, in the grounds of St Mary & All Saints church. The crematorium from the last episode is located behind this church. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map

Where was Tony's house in After Life? Such a charming street.
ReplyDeleteIt’s in the Vale of Health, Hampstead, London. https://goo.gl/maps/DtVMhc1UtF42
DeleteThe only seaside town in Britain without screeching seagulls... I live in Hitchin and thought it looked Hitchinesque so it's interesting that it's fairly close. I'm enjoying the series very much.
ReplyDeleteThe beach scene in episode 3 is Camber sands

ReplyDeleteThe Tambury Gazette office was in the Old Town area ( High St ) of Hemel Hempstead about a mile from my house..........it must have been filmed very early in the morning to be that quiet

I love British humor and R.Gervais has surely outdone himself in the heartwarming, outrageous comedic masterpiece. His quirks, slurs, and outlandish rudeness makes this so poignant as a man deals with loss of a loved one. I can relate, as I suddenly lost my husband of 48yrs & the accurate struggles he displays are funny, depressing in truth, and he crosses the fork in the road to heal with the help of his friends and loved ones. 5 Stars and will watch it again & again just to witness his sharpness in retorts with a sincerity of character that is genuine & inspiring.
DeleteCould easily have watched it all in one night — it’s so good — but I stretched it over three nights because I knew from the middle of the first episode that I’d be sad when it was over. Can’t wait until Gervais make another series (season in Canada, US).
