8 locations from Netflix’s You season 4 in London and surrounding areas that you can visit – from the city’s oldest church to a street ‘straight out of a Hugh Grant movie’
- Netflix psychological satire returns with Joe in London, where the action occurs in places such as 900-year-old St Bartholomew’s church, and Spitalfields Market
- Trendy pubs also feature, as do idyllic cobbled streets and a high-end hotel with a Michelin-star restaurant. Here are some sights from the show to see
Having taken in New York, Los Angeles and suburban California in seasons one to three, Netflix’s over-the-top psychological satire You saw lead character Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley, Gossip Girl) hotfoot it to Paris at the end of the last series.
But when season four dropped in February, we saw the charming stalker turned serial killer quickly move on to London on his “little European holiday”.
Joe is now masquerading as Jonathan Moore, a lecturer at Darcy College, and becomes the hunted rather than the hunter, embroiled in an Agatha Christie-like murder mystery.
On arriving in London “a city of art, theatre, books and the occasional douchebag” as he describes it in his signature sardonic voice-over, Joe falls in with a young, rich and glamorous crowd that includes Simon Soo (Aidan Cheng) and his sister, Sophie (Niccy Lin), offspring of a Chinese billionaire.
“Darcy College” is in reality Royal Holloway, University of London’s imposing campus in Surrey. Its grand library, though, is really a part of Lincoln’s Inn, in central London, where barristers of England and Wales are called to the Bar.
Public tours of Lincoln’s Inn are sometimes run, but a proper look around the library is not always guaranteed.
