Where was The Crown filmed?

This grand estate was the childhood home of Henry VIII’s children; all three were raised in the Old Palace, a medieval masterpiece dating back to 1485. It was here where Elizabeth I was told of her accession to the throne, making it a fitting place to use in filming for The Crown.

This magnificent Norman structure in the historic riverside city of Ely stood in for Westminster Abbey on the wedding day of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. It has also starred in The Other Boleyn Girl, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and The King’s Speech.

The Netflix series winds back the clock to post-war Britain, and you'll see Matt Smith (Prince Phillip) and Claire Foy (Queen Elizabeth) looking suave in 1940s garb at the Lyceum Theatre, opened in 1841. There’s drama to be found both inside and out, with soaring neo-classic columns greeting guests at the entrance and roaring performances of the ever-popular The Lion King on stage.

This neo-Palladian house has seen little change since it was completed in 1754, and still remains in the care and charge of the Byng family. The house isn’t currently open to the public, however it does make an idyllic location for hosting private functions, banquets and parties. Royal-themed wedding anyone?

With the Lynton family residing at here since the Tudor times, each generation has made their mark on this magnificent building in the Hertfordshire countryside. Adorned with gargoyles and crowned with turrets and domes, it’s easy to see why this fairy tale location is a big hit on screen. Used, of course, as a location in The Crown, the house has also starred in The King’s Speech, and Batman the Movie.
