Here’s a look at the filming locations for Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials has recently made its debut on Netflix. The three-part series, based on the Queen of Crime’s 1929 novel, weaves a complex murder mystery, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The plot follows the determined Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent (portrayed by Mia McKenna-Bruce) as she doggedly seeks the truth following a murder in her own bedroom. With stunning filming locations and an exceptional cast, here’s a glimpse into where the drama was shot and its settings.

Set in the 1920s England, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials captures a nation still grieving from the aftermath of the First World War, despite the era being known as the Roaring Twenties. Much of the action unfolds at Bundle and her mother Lady Caterham’s (Helena Bonham Carter) grand yet rundown estate of Chimneys, which is also the scene of the initial murder.

The narrative takes Bundle to London, with scenes set at the Seven Dials Club, the streets of London, and Scotland Yard. Another significant location is Wyvern Abbey, the residence of George Lomax (Alex Macqueen), who hosts a gathering connected to the murder under investigation by Bundle.

Filming for Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials spanned several locations. As per IMDb, these included Lincolnshire, Bath, Bristol, and the West Somerset Railway.

Key sequences involving a train were filmed on the West Somerset Railway at Blue Anchor and Minehead, as stated on the Somerset Council’s website.

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials and Dawn French’s new sitcom Can You Keep A Secret? were both filmed in Somerset. Councillor Mike Rigby of Somerset Council stated: “Film and TV production is great for the county’s economy, local businesses and the visitor economy, which is why we’re working to make Somerset as film-friendly as possible. Having two major productions with national and international reach hitting screens in January is a great way to start 2026.”

The filming of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials took place at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, a location that has hosted numerous productions, including Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, Alex Rider, McDonald and Dodds, among others. Additionally, the murder mystery was shot on location in various parts of Bristol city.

Martin Freeman, star of Sherlock and The Responder, who portrays Superintendent Battle in Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, was seen filming in Bristol alongside vintage cars, according to BBC Countryfile.

In contrast, the historical city of Bath served as a stand-in for 1920s London, with Capital street signs spotted during filming. Filming also occurred in the area of Abbey Green, home to The Abbey Deli, which doubles as the modiste’s dress shop in Netflix’s popular period drama Bridgerton.

The estate of Chimneys, belonging to Bundle and Lady Caterham, was filmed at Badminton House. This Grade II listed property in Gloucestershire is the seat of the Dukes of Beaufort, who lent their name to the sport.

Badminton House hosts numerous outdoor sporting events and can also be hired for weddings and corporate functions.

Director Chris Sweeney shared his vision for the estate: “[We] wanted romance for Chimneys, and for it to be crumbling but beautiful. And I based a lot of stuff on things like Cecil Beaton’s house, Reddish House, which were crumbling, and had pelargoniums everywhere. We sort of combined Cecil Beaton and Vita Sackville-West for Lady Caterham.

“Badminton House delivered on that, because it’s a private home, it’s sort of romantically crumbly, but also completely lavish and beautiful. And the people who live there are charming and lovely, and I think that comes across in the home, and that was a real find, because ultimately, most of these incredible houses are not private and available to rent.

“They’re either venues or National Trust properties, and they haven’t got that lovely crumbliness, which I’m obsessed with.”

Several Bristol locations were utilised in the filming, including Barrel House, which doubled as the interior for the Seven Dials Nightclub, Queens Square, All Saints Street/Clare Street for the nightclub’s exterior, The Ox restaurant as the Bon Temps Restaurant, and the Corn Market as the Met Police’s offices. Arnos Vale was the setting for the Cemetery, Little King Street depicted the East End of London, and Bridewell Street was used for the Scotland Yard exterior shots.

The Bottleyard Studios served as the location for the Seven Dials Society Meeting room.

In Bath, Abbey Green was the backdrop for the Market Basing market square scenes, while Great Pulteney Street was used for the London driving scenes. Some scenes were also filmed in Cardiff, Wales, with the Crown Court standing in for the Market Basing train station exterior and the Science Library used for the Foreign/India Office.

Lomax’s grand residence, Westonbirt House in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, was used to portray Wyvern Abbey in Seven Dials. The house is renowned for its impressive gardens, crafted by the Holford family, and its Victorian architecture.

The estate and gardens are open for pre-booked tours, and special lectures are also held on the premises.

Moreover, the series incorporates flashbacks to the picturesque town of Ronda, Spain in 1920, highlighting its stunning beauty and remarkable architecture. Perched atop a mountain in Andalusia, Ronda’s iconic Puente Nuevo bridge, straddling the El Tajo gorge, features prominently in the opening sequence, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Ronda is also home to a blend of charming old and new towns that visitors can explore while taking in the sights. These include the Puente Nuevo museum, the Arab Baths, Casa del Gigante, Museo Joaquín Peinado, and Mondragón Palace.

Visitors also have the opportunity to stroll around the ancient city walls, visit the Puerta de Almocabar, and explore the ruins of the Alcazaba.

The historic bullring, Plaza de Toros de Ronda, where an annual bullfight takes place, appears to be the filming location for the opening scenes of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials. The bullring, open to tourists, was constructed in the 18th century and has seen three generations of the Romero family from Ronda become prize-winning bullfighters.

Additional attractions in Ronda include the 14th-century Baños Arabes (Arab Baths) and the two bridges, Puente San Miguel or the Puente Arabe (Arab bridge) and the Puente Viejo (old bridge). While they may not be as dramatic as the Puente Nuevo, both provide views of the gorge and the expansive countryside.
