Bethnal Green locals may have recognised the area's LEB Building, aka the former London Electricity Board HQ. The spot was used for the movie's street market scenes.

The other familiar London spots featured in Netflix's The Kitchen

In one scene the River Thames and The Shard form a backdrop to a fireworks display, along with a huge arch construction, like a bloated London Eye skyscraper.

The former theatre Collins' Music Hall, next to Islington Green, helped provide inspiration for the Kitchens corridors of apartments.
