Killing Eve Filming Locations: Where was this Killer Drama?

Killing Eve, the exciting drama about a killer and the intelligence agent trying to catch her, is still one of the most popular shows, especially after its third season was released. The show is full of sharp dialogue, stunning fashion, and surprising plot twists.

It also features many filming locations across Europe, including well-known cities, countryside areas, and some hidden gems, making it feel like a European adventure.

A better question would be where wasn’t Killing Eve filmed? The show was filmed in many different places across several seasons.

The title cards showing new countries or cities don’t always match up with the actual filming locations—for example, they didn’t film in Russia—but the production team did shoot in places like England, Italy, Spain, Romania, France, The Netherlands, and Germany, among others.

London, UK

Killing Eve was filmed all over London, including Holborn and Haringey. The city is almost like one of the stars of the show. For example, the Art Deco, Grade II-listed Hornsey Town Hall stands in for a café in Moscow, while Eve meets her former boss in front of the famous Barbican Estate.

The series also shows areas like Camden, Clerkenwell, Hampstead, and The Mildmay Club. In the third season, Eve spends time in New Malden, a suburban area in south-west London. Sandra Oh, who plays Eve, mentioned in a 2019 interview that New Malden has the largest Korean population in Europe, making it a special place for her to be closer to Korean food.

Turville & Chiltern Hills, UK

Turville and the beautiful Chiltern Hills are featured during an exciting car chase in the show. The Chilterns are known for their natural beauty and cover several counties, including Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Turville, a quiet village in Buckinghamshire, is far from the busy city life and has a church and the Cobstone Windmill to visit.

Tuscany, Italy

Some scenes in the first episode of Killing Eve take place in Tuscany, Italy, when Villanelle is sent to kill a mafia boss. The Bar Garibaldi in the town of Colle di Val d’Elsa, near Siena, was used for the famous ice cream scene. Fans have also noticed a road near the town of Casole d’Elsa that appeared in the show.

Paris, France

While Villanelle’s stylish apartment in Paris is actually a set in London, the show does feature some filming in Paris. You can see Villanelle walking down Rue Guénégaud and Rue Mazarine, and meeting Konstantin in the Place Vendôme square, located in the first arrondissement of Paris.

Barcelona, Spain

In the third season, Villanelle moves from Paris to Barcelona. She is seen in places like Plaça de la Barceloneta and at the Joanet café on Plaça Sant Agustí Vell. Jodie Comer, who plays Villanelle, mentioned in a BBC interview that Barcelona is vibrant, colorful, and fast-paced, which makes it a great setting for the show.

Bucharest, Romania

The capital of Romania, Bucharest, was used to represent Moscow and some parts of Paris in the show. In the first season, the Hotel Atlasov’s exterior shots were filmed on Strada George Enescu. Sandra Oh shared her love for Romania and its local crew on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, saying that she enjoys the post-Soviet atmosphere of the city.

Viscri, Romania

In the third season, some scenes were filmed in Viscri, a Romanian village located about three and a half hours from Bucharest. Sandra Oh explained in a 2019 interview that Viscri is a UNESCO Heritage Site and that Prince Charles has a residence there. The charming village, with its 12th-century church, is often included in Transylvanian countryside tours.

Berlin, Germany

Most of the scenes set in Germany were actually filmed in London. For example, a nightclub in London stood in for the famous Berghain techno club in Berlin. However, one scene that was truly filmed in Berlin takes place at the Weberwiese Station, a minimalist yellow-tiled U-Bahn station, where Villanelle and Bill first meet.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

In the second season, the red-light district of Amsterdam is shown. The series also features street shots in areas like Brouwersgracht and the Herengracht canal, giving a classic view of the city.
