Peaky Blinders is one of the most well-known British dramas. The BBC and Netflix show tells the story of a crime gang with the same name, which operated in Birmingham, England, from the 1880s to the 1920s.
Since the show is set in the past, the filming locations are important for capturing the feel of that time period. From Thomas Shelby’s famous mansion to the streets of Birmingham, many places in the show draw the audience in.
Throughout its six seasons, the series was mainly filmed in the UK, with the production team using several historical buildings, museums, and halls to film key scenes. Here are all the places where Peaky Blinders was filmed.
Watery Lane (Powis Street – Liverpool, England)
To walk the gritty streets of the Shelby family’s home area, you need to go to Liverpool. Specifically, you will walk down Powis Street, which was used as the muddy and dirty Watery Lane in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in the show.
Thomas often walked down this street and through the nearby roads on his way to the Shelby house, the gang’s gambling den, the canal docks, and the Garrison Pub. While these famous spots don’t actually exist on Powis Street, and the real location looks much more modern than the post-WWI setting in the show, the rows of stone two-story houses will be instantly familiar to fans.
Charlie Strong’s Yard (Black Country Living Museum – Dudley, England)
Named after the soot-filled iron factories of 19th century England, the Black Country Living Museum was used to film parts of Tommy’s area. Several shady dealings with the Shelby family’s sort-of-uncle, Charlie Strong, were filmed here, as were scenes like the pilot episode’s fake execution by the nearby canal.
Charlie Strong’s scrap and boatyard were filmed in this location, and the stable where Curly took care of Tommy’s racehorses was also filmed here.
Today, the museum doesn’t house any of the horses, but it does create the Peaky Blinders atmosphere. The open-air museum lets visitors experience life from that time through historical actors, food vendors, and entertainment. The museum’s recreated town sells flat caps in its clothing shop and dark ale at the local pub, so visitors can enjoy the full Peaky experience.

Birmingham Train Station (Keighley & Worth Valley Railway – West Yorkshire, England)
In the show, many characters travel by train, whether it’s a new enemy arriving in Birmingham or a disgraced family member leaving. Many of the train arrivals, departures, and platform scenes were filmed at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a historic station still using steam and diesel engines. The vintage feel of the station matched the show’s time period perfectly.
Fans of the show can visit this iconic location, which opened in 1867, and relive the dramatic season 1 encounter between Grace and Inspector Campbell.
Garrison Pub (Stanley Dock – Liverpool, England)
Any Peaky Blinders fan likely has the Garrison Pub on their list of places to visit. Sadly, all the plotting, celebrating, and tense moments at the famous pub were filmed on a soundstage in Manchester.
However, fans can visit Liverpool’s Stanley Dock, where the exterior shots of the pub were filmed. The location was also the setting for the bloody fight between Thomas and rival gangster Billy Kimber.
In Birmingham, you can visit the real-life tavern that inspired the Garrison Pub in the show. Located at the corner of Garrison Lane and Witton Street in Small Heath, Birmingham, the real Garrison is currently closed and in poor condition, but it was the supposed meeting place for the street gang the show’s characters are based on.
Polly Gray’s Home (Port Sunlight – Wirral, England)
As Thomas Shelby’s criminal empire grew, so did his wealth. Instead of keeping it all for himself, Tommy generously gave gifts to family and close friends. In season 2, he sets up his Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory) in a large estate with a maid, a major upgrade from her old working-class home.
To visit Polly’s mansion, head to Wirral, just outside Liverpool, where it sits in Port Sunlight. Port Sunlight, like the Black Country Living Museum, is a popular spot for tourists, offering a village, a museum, and self-guided tours for visitors to explore.
Thomas Shelby’s Home (Arley Hall & Gardens – Cheshire, England)
Tommy Shelby got the best property for himself, buying Arrow House, a large country estate where he moved in with his wife, Grace. The mansion, where several scenes take place, including a tense moment between Tommy and Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy), is actually Arley Hall & Gardens, located just outside Liverpool in Cheshire.
Much like many filming locations from the show, Tommy’s home is open to tourists. Visitors can take guided tours, explore the estate’s restaurant, gardens, and interior rooms, and attend special events. Arley Hall & Gardens even hosted a Peaky Blinders exhibition last year, where fans could tour rooms recreated to look like they did when Tommy lived there.
