Have you ever wondered about the real filming locations
00:02
from the Netflix hit show Top Boy?
00:04
With the final season set to drop on Friday,
00:06
we've tracked down three from across London
00:08
that anyone can visit.
00:10
Number one is the Summerhouse Estate.
00:13
Viewers of the show know it's based in Hackney
00:15
and is the location at the heart of Top Boy.
00:17
It's where lead characters to Shane and Sully grew up
00:19
and where all the action happens from drug gang operations
00:22
to communities coming together.
00:24
The real estate can be found in the Isle of Dogs.
00:27
Officially called the Samudra Estate,
00:28
it's home to 300 residents who even helped out
00:31
during filming, providing space for green rooms and more.
00:35
Next up, the number one cafe.
00:37
In the show, it's the safe ground outside of Summerhouse
00:40
and a home away from home for Shane and Sully.
00:43
The wood-paneled caf is the site
00:44
of plenty of dodgy business dealings.
00:46
IRL, it's also a fully functioning cafe with the same name.
00:50
You can find it on Wells Street in Holmerton.
00:52
Thanks to the show's fame,
00:53
it attracts plenty of Top Boy fans
00:55
keen to see the place in real life.
00:57
And finally, Jamie, Stefan and Aaron's bench.
01:01
In the show, this bench is a sentimental safe haven
01:03
for the three brothers who go there
01:04
to remember their dead parents
01:06
and feel closer to each other.
01:08
Located in the Old English Garden in Victoria Park,
01:10
the show's creator, Ronan Bennett,
01:12
also has a strong personal connection to it.
01:15
He sat there with his wife
01:17
the day she gave birth to their second child.
01:19
(upbeat music)
