The Split location guide: Where is the BBC divorce drama filmed?
Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan play married divorce lawyers looking to terminate their own marriage.
BBC divorce drama The Split is back for a third and final outing, plunges us back into the divorce drama.
The third season follows the acrimonious divorce of family lawyers Hannah Stern (Nicola Walker) and her soon-to-be ex-husband Nathan (Stephen Mangan), who both pursued adulterous affairs in previous seasons, and it certainly got off to a dramatic start.
Alongside Walker and Mangan, there’s also a high-profile new addition to the cast of season 3: Lara Pulver (Irene Adler in Sherlock) will play Kate, "a leading child psychologist whose arrival adds a whole new layer of complexity to Morgan’s multi-layered examination of divorce and modern marriage".
But where does the filming for The Split season 3 take place? Read on for everything you need to know about the filming locations.
Where is The Split season 3 set?
The series is set mainly in London, where the offices of Noble Hale Defoe are based.
Creator Abi Morgan previously said of the show's London setting: “A lawyer I spoke to early on introduced the idea that London is the divorce capital of the world.
“One of the reasons for that had been instigated by a woman called Blanche Lucas, one of the first divorce lawyers who advocated for women not only to get alimony and a share of the house, but to get a lump sum of money, as an acknowledgement of how much they may have given in a relationship to supporting a man’s career.
“She was known as 'Lump Sum Lucas’ and was very famous in the Eighties. It triggered a number of people choosing to be divorced in the UK because it was so friendly to the spouse who had contributed to the marriage in ways other than income.”
Where is The Split season 3 filmed?
Filming for The Split season 3 kicked off last year in June 2021 and, as in previous seasons, took place predominantly in London.
Various famous landmarks crop up throughout the series, including the Millennium Bridge, St Pancras International Station, and The Shard.
Specific filming locations have included the offices of international law firm Olswang in High Holborn, Central London, which is a stand-in for the law firm where Hannah Stern (Nicola Walker) works.
