There’s been so much buzz around Don’t Worry Darling that you may have forgotten another film featuring Harry Styles is officially in theaters now: My Policeman. The movie—which will be available to stream on Prime Video starting November 4—is based on the 2012 book of the same name by author Bethan Roberts. And instead of an escape to Palm Springs, the film transports viewers to England and Italy.
The love-triangle drama follows Tom (played by Styles), a policeman in 1950s Britain who falls in love with a Brighton, England-based teacher named Marion (played by The Crown’s Emma Corrin). Tom also begins an affair with museum curator Patrick (played by David Dawson, who appeared on Peaky Blinders). The film flashes between the ‘50s and 1990s when the three characters—Tom (Linus Roache), Marion (Gina McKee), and Patrick (Rupert Everett)—are still troubled by their past and have an opportunity to fix the damage that’s been done.
Ahead, take a look at some of the filming locations the production puts on display. From a pebble beach in Brighton to canals in Venice, these spots make for dreamy additions to any European vacation itinerary.
Brighton
Much of the novel is set along England's south coast in Brighton, so naturally, the film follows suit. Some of the iconic landmarks include Palace Pier, where we can see characters in the film playing games, and the pebble beach surrounding that fairground—both of which are open to the public.
Among the notable buildings featured in the film is the Royal Pavillion, an Indian-style palace that was originally constructed in the late 18th century as the eventual King George IV’s residence. Tours of the palace and its gardens are available with the purchase of tickets for an in-person visit, or you can peek inside the structure through a free virtual tour.
Other places the production was spotted filming include Regency Square and Brunswick Square. More seaside locations near Brighton include The Vine, a pub in a close-by town called Worthing; The Dome Cinema, an Edwardian building that opened in Worthing during the early 20th century; and Peacehaven Cliffs, which set a dramatic background for more beach scenes.
London
While most of the film took place in Brighton, shooting also occurred in London—including around the London School of Economics. Just over an hour north of the city, you’ll also find a 50-meter outdoor pool at Hitchin Swimming Centre in Hertfordshire where the cast shot scenes you’ll certainly recognize from the trailer alone.
Venice
During the film, Tom and Patrick spend some time together in Venice, Italy. They’re seen in a speedboat on the water and, of course, taking a romantic gondola ride on the canals as well as strolling through the streets.
