[spoilers] Spooks Locations - almh - 23-09-2009 09:33 PM

If anyone knows where any of the Spooks locations, please can you write them on this thread, and hopefully if we get enough (ie them all!) I, or someone else if they want to, can compile it into one document so if people want to go visit locations, they can, and it can be put into a map, etc. You get the idea.

All you need to do to submit a Spooks location is to write down as many of the following details in your post - the more the better!

1) Where it is! Give a street name, number, city, anything to make it as clear as possible to identify it. But if it's something like a bridge, you can probably just get away with saying e.g. Millenium Bridge, London. Just make sure it's a clear where the place you mean is.
2) What episode(s) it's in. Series as well please, and if it's not too much effort, a description of where it is in the episode i.e. either a time or a scene number, etc

It doesn't matter if your post doesn't contain all of these, but as much info as possible would be useful. Any other details that you feel would be useful but haven't been mentioned above, do include! **EDIT** Ok, if you do have any photos of any of the places, please upload them here. Thanks

yey!!!! great thread! Wink I won't be able to say many places as I've only been to London once, but I'll try!

This one is very easy: Where Harry meets Juliet, Mace, the russian... is near the London Bridge, I have one pic of me there


Highgate cemetery, where Lucas meets Elisabeta 7.02 and 7.03 (I think those are the episodes, not sure, though)

I remember more locations but I'm not sure in which episode or who where there, I'll do a little of investigation Wink (Albert Memorial, hampstead heath, st. James's park...)

Thanks Nitrus for the street location: OMG!!!! I've just realised my hotel was near by!!! (I mean the hotel I stayed when I was in London) The nearest tube station was Holborn!!! I didn't see this building Sad Sad Sad Sad

Ok, if you want me to look for you, or you're having trouble finding one of the location's episodes, let me know. Thank you Smile
Thames Barrier is another obvious one, Series 5 episode 10. I have some photos, but unfortunately they're only on my computer Sad but I will upload them onto the internet soon.

In series 7 every time there is a meeting with the Home Secretary the view pans to the "Government Offices, Whitehall" which actually seems to be the HM Treasury

Thanks, but I'l enjoy doing it Tongue The thing is that now I haven't much time. On Sunday, I have an exam to become civil servant, afterwards I'll do my little research Wink

RE: Spooks Locations - almh - 30-09-2009 04:14 PM

I've got a Geography Trip coming up soon, and we're going to the Thames Barrier, Brick Lane and St Katharine's Dock. Does anyone know if there are any episodes shot there? If not I'll just have to watch all the episodes again to see Wink

Oooh, exam to be a civil servant. Coool. What do/did you have to do? Say if you liked the government's policies? Or were you really going to apply to be a spy, and you've come onto the forum to get tips... Tongue

RE: Spooks Locations - Nitrus - 30-09-2009 04:19 PM

Thames Barrier is where the Series 5 finale was filmed I believe... the one where

Spoiler: show
Adam & Ros are left to drown


RE: Spooks Locations - almh - 30-09-2009 04:21 PM

Yep, I know Smile Shame we don't get to go inside Sad But I'll try and get some shots that line up with the shots seen on TV
Okay, London Bridge. It features in 5.6, and is on screen at 16:07. Unfortunately will not be able to get the shot they've got as I don't think I'll get permission to stand on top of someone's building Tongue But still.

Here's a different view, but you should be able to see the similarities between the two shots.

**EDIT - St Katherine's Docks is also in 5.6 - I was right! (sorry, personal victory here, it was bugging me Blush) It's where the dramatic scene between Adam and the terrorist is, with the terrorist getting away in his handily parked speedboat. I have actually been there before on the Thames Path so did recognise it, but couldn't place it. I will get a couple of good photos there when I'm on my field trip Smile

You got me! I'm becoming a spook Wink Tongue I wish that!! hahaha

The job will be quite boring but nowadays is difficult to get a job so...Confused
If I pass I will have another one soon.

Because of that I will have to put my research off Sad The problem is that I have to rewatch some chapters....

I can't think of any other episodes shot there... Take lots of photos and the upload them as we can see them!!!
