Where was Jekyll and Hyde filmed? – ITV Filming Locations

Jekyll and Hyde ITV Filming Locations: 2015 fantasy TV drama starring Tom Bateman, Richard E. Grant and Natalie Gumede.

Where was Jekyll and Hyde filmed for ITV?

Production of the series began in January 2015 on the South Asian island of Sri Lanka, before moving on the following month to London and the county of Kent in South East England. The shows cast and crew then later travelled to the Isle of Sheppey, situated just off mainland Kent’s north coast. Filming on the ITV drama is scheduled to be completed in July.

A more specific key filming location was the Kent town of Rochester, where a section of the High Street was temporarily taken over. Beginning in February, TV film and production crews transformed the area by taking the appearance of local shops, hairdressers, opticians and bakers right back to the 1930’s.

Using Google Street View above you can explore Rochester High Street to see for yourself how the buildings appear normally, in contrast to how they look on screen in Jekyll & Hyde. With some of the streets everyday shop fronts almost completely covered by set makers, you may need to view the first and second floors to see which building relates to which of the series locations.

To give you a little look behind the scenes of Jekyll and Hyde’s production, here’s a look at some tweets posted during filming, including a couple by series writer and executive producer Charlie Higson:
