Let’s be real, the real star of The Thursday Murder Club is the English countryside itself. The rolling hills of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are everywhere in the film. I drove through the tiny lanes near Dorking and felt like I was in a postcard—or a murder mystery poster. The hedgerows are so thick and green you could hide a body in them. Don’t test that.
One spot that’s a must-see is Box Hill, where the crew shot a few key outdoor scenes. You can hike to the top, look down at the patchwork fields, and whisper to yourself, “I wonder whose corpse is under that bush.” Just me? Okay, move along.
Where Did They Actually Film the Big Finale?
Spoiler alert: the big showdown at the end of the film was shot at Pyrford Court, a stunning private estate in Surrey. It’s not open to the public usually, but sometimes they host events. So, if you ever see an ad for “Murder Mystery Dinner at a Historic Mansion,” sign up. It could totally be the same place.
Where was The Thursday Murder Club filmed? A behind-the-scenes look at
I happened to be there on a rainy Tuesday (don’t ask how—I bribed a gardener), and I stood exactly where the final confrontation happened. The gravel crunching under my feet was eerie. I even tried to act out the scene, but a squirrel stared at me judgmentally. Film tourism: 1. My dignity: 0.
