The Thursday Murder Club was filmed in various locations across England, primarily in the Home Counties near London. Key filming locations include:
- Aldbury, Hertfordshire: This picturesque village doubled as the fictional town of Fairhaven. The village hall was transformed into the police station seen in the film.
- Englefield Estate, Berkshire: This stately home served as the main setting for Coopers Chase Retirement Village, both for exterior and interior shots. The estate’s Elizabethan-style architecture was significant to embodying the aesthetic of the retirement community.
- Gaddesden Place, Hertfordshire: Used for some interiors of Coopers Chase.
- Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire: Location of a six-bedroom family home used for Tony Curran’s residence, a co-owner of Coopers Chase.
- Shepperton Studios, Surrey: Studio filming was also done here for various scenes.
- Other locations include Little Missenden pub (The Red Lion) in Buckinghamshire, Radlett in Hertfordshire for Ian Ventham’s modern home, Slough Ice Arena in Berkshire, and the Chatham Dockyard area in Kent for street scenes.
Coopers Chase Retirement Village is fictional, but the film’s locations were chosen to represent it authentically, with Englefield House’s layout including a church and cemetery below the house being key to the story's design.
Filming took place from late June to September 2024.
Thus, the film captures an idyllic English countryside setting using real historic villages and grand estates mainly in Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, and Kent.
