Filming has begun on various parts of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, UK. It also took place between Tuesday December 5th 2017 and Thursday December the 7th 2017 just outside Blackheath, London, UK (SE3 9HG to get images of the area), with this part of south-east London being used to represent south-west London (mock buses had "Fulham Broadway" as their destination). At that time, the film was set in autumn, so the challenges of filming in wintery surroundings (leafless trees, for example) were constantly addressed. Day and night shots were filmed on Lee Park and Shearman Road, where a house was used in addition to the local roads.[1]
