Where was ‘One Day’ filmed: the key locations in the new rom-com Netflix series everyone’s talking about

Where is Emma’s apartment in One Day?

Paris

In episode 12, we find Dexter arriving in Paris, where Emma has moved for a research visit. Here, they walk down Rue Pierre Semard, close to the Gare du Nord, then pause for a heart-to-heart on Passerelle Emmanuelle Riva, an iron bridge that crosses Canal St Martin. Eventually, they arrive at Emma’s apartment on Rue des Gobelins in the 13th arrondissement. The quiet neighbourhood was the historic centre for Paris’s tapestry makers and is known for its Korean and Vietnamese restaurants, as well as the eye-catching Pompidou Centre-alike refurb of the Cité de la Mode et du Design on the banks of the Seine nearby.

Where in London was One Day filmed?

While Dex and Emma’s reunions often take them away from home, most of the action in One Day takes place in London. In episode three, they catch up with a bottle of wine on Primrose Hill, in the north of the city, but many of their significant moments take place in restaurants – as in the same episode, when Dexter surprises Emma at her workplace, Mexican restaurant Loco Caliente, filmed at disused pub the Old Suffolk Punch in Hammersmith.

In episode five, we see Emma without Dexter on a date with workmate Ian (Jonny Weldon) at the “fancy” Forelli’s, in fact, the Adelphi Bar at Smith & Wollensky in the West End. Episode seven ups the stakes when Dexter takes Emma to “The Pacific”, a celeb hangout reminiscent of 90s destination The Atlantic Bar, which is, in fact, the famed Quaglino’s in St James’s, a Thirties institution revived by Terence Conran in 1993.

From this height of glamour, things head back down to earth. Episode 13 sees them eating pizza at Bella Roma in Lewisham, and then at the newly opened “Café Belleville”, a venue of great personal significance for them both. This deep-blue corner café can be found in Highbury on Calabria Street, where it goes under its real name of La Maison.

One Day streams on Netflix from Thursday 8 February.
