Step into the world of Peaky Blinders by visiting the filming locations in the UK

With the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man on March 20th, it’s the perfect time to dive back into the world of the Shelbys. To recreate the industrial atmosphere of the 1920s and 1940s, several locations across the UK were chosen. Here are some places you can visit to walk in the footsteps of Tommy Shelby!

Birmingham

Although Peaky Blinders is set in the heart of Birmingham, the series was actually filmed across various locations in the north of England.

However, some scenes were indeed shot in Birmingham, such as at Gas Street Basin, a famous canal, and on Cornwall Street, which served as the backdrop for the scene where Tommy rides his horse through the devastated streets of the city. Another key location is the industrial district of Digbeth, home to the Digbeth Loc Studios, where you can spot a huge mural featuring Thomas Shelby, Ada Shelby, and Alfie Solomons.

If you don’t want to miss anything, you can also join a guided walking tour and explore the streets that inspired the series.

Black Country Living Museum 

In Dudley, the Black Country Living Museum is a must-visit to relive the industrial era depicted in the series. This is where you’ll find key sets such as Charlie Strong’s yard an iconic location in the show the secret meeting place of Ada and Freddie, as well as a crime scene filmed at St. James’ School.

Beyond the series, the museum showcases 250 years of industrial history in the West Midlands through interactive demonstrations, workshops, and period houses.

The museum also offers themed tours and special Peaky Blinders evenings, featuring live music, performances, and an immersive atmosphere for a true Peaky Blinders-style night out. The next events are scheduled for September and November!

Calke Abbey

In the film, we find Tommy living in seclusion in a countryside house, writing his memoirs. Two locations were used to recreate his home: Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, which is open to visitors, and Calder Abbey in Cumbria, which is not accessible to the public. The stables, the house, and the grounds of Calke Abbey were used for filming thanks to their authenticity and slightly decayed character. You can wander around, relive these scenes, and walk in Tommy Shelby’s footsteps!

Arley Hall

The scenes set in Tommy Shelby’s manor were filmed at Arley Hall in Northwich. It appears in Season 3 during the confrontation between the Shelbys and Alfie Solomons. If the library looks familiar, that’s because it’s used as Tommy’s office in the series!

Beyond reliving moments from the show, the estate is the perfect place for a relaxing afternoon, whether exploring the gardens or visiting the house, all in a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Liverpool

The city of Liverpool played a major role in the series, especially for scenes depicting industrial and port areas. One of the most iconic locations is St George’s Hall, which has appeared in many films. In Peaky Blinders, it is used in Season 3 as a prestigious reception venue and again in Season 6 during a fascist rally. Take a walk around the St George area and follow in Cillian Murphy’s footsteps, and don’t miss the stunning cathedral where several scenes were also filmed. In short, if you’re a fan of the series, Liverpool is a must-visit.

You can also join a guided tour created in collaboration with the show’s creators to explore these locations and hear behind-the-scenes stories (we want the gossip!).

It’s hard to list every filming location, as the series was shot in many different places probably one of the reasons it feels so immersive and well-crafted. Discover the landscapes and historic sites that shaped the visual identity of Peaky Blinders, step into the world of the Shelbys… and who knows, you might even spot Cillian Murphy riding his horse!
