Netflix's new adaptation of Agatha Christie's Seven Dials has just hit our screens, but did you know that some of the series was filmed right here in Bath?

Filmed across the West Country throughout the summer of 2024, the three-part series follows the escapades of Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent (played by Helena Bonham Carter) as she tries to unravel a murder mystery, based around the Seven Dials nightclub in 1925 London.

Let us know if you spot the following Bath locations when you're watching the show...

Abbey Green

This photogenic square next to Bath Abbey doubled as Market Basing market square. The square has also featured extensively in Bridgerton, with the Abbey Deli exterior used for Modiste.

Great Pulteney Street

The London car chase scene was filmed on Bath's grandest street, which was also used for filming Vanity Fair in 2003. The street is close to Bath's famous Pulteney Bridge, and The Holburne Museum, which may also be familiar from Netflix's Bridgerton, where it doubles as Lady Dunbury's House.
