But the film didn’t just stay inside the retirement village. The production spread out to capture that classic English countryside vibe. The key location you’ll recognize is Frensham Little Pond in Surrey.
This is where the group holds their outdoor meetings and where a crucial discovery takes place. Picture a serene lake with swans gliding by, surrounded by heathland. It’s the kind of spot where you’d walk your dog, have a picnic, or, in this case, stumble upon a body.
Another gem is Penshurst Place in Kent. This stunning medieval manor stands in for the fictional Fairhaven Hall in the film. You might remember it from the scene where the gang attends a fancy charity event—and, of course, someone meets a sticky end.
Netflix's The Thursday Murder Club Filming Locations (2026)
The Pub, The Church, and That Famous Bench
No British mystery is complete without a pub. The Thursday Murder Club’s local, The Jolly Sailor, was filmed at the Wheatsheaf Inn in Bramley, Surrey. It’s a proper country pub with low beams, a crackling fire, and a menu full of fish and chips. You can almost taste the ale through the screen.
For more suspense, look for St. Mary’s Church in Shipley, West Sussex. It’s where the group attends a funeral (and, naturally, investigates the deceased’s financial records). The churchyard is ancient, full of mossy headstones and a yew tree that’s probably older than your great-grandma.
And that iconic bench where Elizabeth and Joyce share secrets? That’s at Box Hill in Surrey. It’s a popular cycling and walking spot with panoramic views over the rolling countryside. You know the bench—the one where they sip tea and solve the puzzle.
