Some of the open spaces and outdoor city scenes were filmed in central London, including Lincoln's Inn Fields and Finsbury Square.
The Village Café in York Rise near Highgate was picked as the location for Fleabag's guinea-pig themed café. The BBC gave the original premises a make-over but, after the show finished, it became a Turkish kitchen.

The second season of Fleabag premiered with a family dinner party filmed at this American steakhouse. S&W is just off the Strand in the old Adelphi Hotel building. This is the last survivor of the 18th-century neoclassical terrace that fringed the Thames and, inside, is 1930s art deco.
In the second series, Fleabag meets the Hot Priest, played by Andrew Scott. Several of the church scenes involved in their relationship were filmed at the Parish Church of St Andrew's, on Old Church Lane. The production also used Christ Church, Hampstead, a Victorian Gothic building in Hampstead Square.
The small park areas around Laurier Road were used for some of the street scenes in Fleabag. Many of the streets around York Rise were also used as locations. The bus stop, though, was shot all the way west in Station Road, Hampton.
