The Old Town Hall, St. Mary’s Church and Gadebridge Park, where Tony often takes his dogs on walks on the show, are also nearby the town square. 

Despite looking a little too perfectly antiquated, Jordans Antique Centre and the other pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops located in the town square on the series are real businesses which you can go and visit.

The exact house where Gervais’ character lives in located in Vale of Health, Hampstead. This tiny village is home to a series of charming terraces and cottages, as well as a pond, of all features. 

The area has even made it through a multitude of gentrification developments, including a £1Million Community Infrastructure Levy, which would provide 59 more affordable homes for those hoping to live in the area.
