The Tinder Swindler: All the London locations from hit Netflix true-crime documentary

Netflix’s hit true-crime documentary The Tinder Swindler has been the highlight of our TV-watching week.

The gripping thriller-style film immerses you in the stories of Cecilie Fjellhøy, Pernille Sjøholm and Ayleen Koeleman.

Believing they were in the midst of a fairytale love story, with attentive and loving boyfriend, Simon Leviev, the women were in fact falling victim to a sophisticated romance fraud.

Swindling hundreds of thousands of dollars, bankrupting and forcing the women into debt, Simon was revealed to be an Israeli conman - carrying out an international pyramid scheme with duped women.

Born Shimon Yehuda Hayut, he claimed to be related to the uber-wealthy Leviev family, who own jewellery corporation LLD Diamonds.

While the film exposes the extent of his wrongdoing - and his victims’ campaign for justice - it also highlights some stunning London hotspots that give a taste of the lifestyle of the ultra-rich.

The documentary opens with Cecilie meeting Simon for a first date at the swanky Four Seasons Hotel in Park Lane, before being whisked off on a private jet.

Later on, the fraudster dupes Cecilie into looking round some of the most up-market flats in London - and the pair meet in London several times.

So where from the capital features in the Netflix’s hit the Tinder Swindler?

Four Seasons Hotel, Park Lane

Known for being one of the most expensive sites on the London Monopoly game board, Park Lane is an exclusive central London hub.

Surrounded by glamorous shopping streets and tourist attractions, the area is in the city of Westminster district and runs from Hyde Park to Marble Arch.

Simon met Cecilie for a coffee at the hotel - where rooms run to hundreds of pounds.

Travel website Booking.com advertises a room for tomorrow at a whopping £735.

While a coffee on the terrace costs £6 for an espresso and £8 for a latte or cappuccino.

The next day he whisked her off on a private jet for their second date, to cement his appearance as an ultra-rich diamond heir.

Throughout the show, his location frequently appears at the Four Seasons Hotel, Park Lane.

Leviev Diamonds, Old Bond Street

Known as the King of Diamonds, Lev Leviev runs a diamond empire with shops all around the world.

His London premises are based in Old Bond Street, in the historic centre of the city.

Despite Simon’s claims he was connected to the family, the Levievs have denied any knowledge or him or his activities.

In a statement to NewsWeek, a spokesperson said: “LLD Diamonds has been a well-regarded leader in the diamond industry for three decades.

“Our company has no connection whatsoever with Shimon Hayut.

“He is a fraud who has tried to exploit our good name to con victims out of millions of dollars.

“Our sympathies go out to his victims. His fraud has also caused ongoing confusion about our company. Nothing he has said, about LLD or anything else, should be believed.

“As soon as we learned of the fraud, we filed a complaint with the Israeli police, and we hope that Mr Hayut faces the justice he deserves."

Covent Garden Market

The world-famous Covent Garden Market was another site in the documentary film.

Luring Cecilie in with promises of love and commitment, Simon soon had her viewing luxury apartments in London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.

Overlooking the historic market, unsurprisingly she fell in love - and made an offer on the property.

You can visit Covent Garden Apple Market every Tuesday to Sunday for jewellery, prints and crafts - while on Monday, you’ll find one-off antiques and collectables.
