Loseley House has been a lived-in home for over 500 years and has seen its fair share of historic events. The grounds double up as the woodlands surrounding Halstead Manor, where we see Jethro (Josh Finan) pursued by Eddie and Geoff Seacombe (Vinnie Jones) after “the liability” Freddie Horniman (Daniel Ings) shoots Tommy Dixon (Peter Serafinowicz). This is also where we find Geoff’s real-life groundsman cottage.
Stoke Court, Buckinghamshire
The Badminton Estate gets much of the credit for appearing as the exterior of the fictional Halstead Manor, but some of the interior scenes used Stoke Court in Buckinghamshire.
Stoke Court is home to the study, where Freddie shoots Liverpudlian drug dealer Tommy after a memorable scene featuring a chicken costume, Halstead Manor’s boot room, drawing room and orangery.
The real-life property is best known for its association with mid-18th-century poet Thomas Gray, who holidayed there during his childhood.
Wrotham Park, Hertfordshire
Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire plays the part of the home of extravagantly wealthy drug lord Stanley Johnson, aka Bridgewater House. The neo-Palladian English country house was designed by Isaac Ware in 1754, and it’s where we see Susie Glass and Stanley engage in a polite-ish war of words over his desire to take over her father’s empire.
London
The Gentleman’s filming locations depict two sides of the coin: lavish country houses owned by the landed gentry and hideouts used by the criminal underworld. For the latter, the locations team looked to London.
