Where was “Peaky Blinders ”filmed? Check out Thomas Shelby's stomping grounds and 5 other iconic locations from the crime drama

With Peaky Blinders hanging up its topcoat in 2022 — and Netflix yet to reveal the release date of the follow-up film — what's a fan of the British period crime drama to do?

Well, outside of donning a flat cap and sipping Irish whiskey while doing a complete rewatch, you could plan a trip across the pond to visit the titular gang's home turf. Of course, a Peaky-themed getaway wouldn't take you to Birmingham, England — where the series' post-WWI tale kicks off — but to Liverpool, Leeds, and other areas in and around Yorkshire where Thomas Shelby's (Cillian Murphy) saga was filmed.

Thankfully, that particular area of Northern England is packed tighter than a betting shop on race day with iconic locales from the show's six seasons. Read on for all the intel on Peaky Blinders' real-life locations, whether you want to visit Charlie Strong's scrap yard, explore Tommy's posh estate grounds, or stand in the exact spot where Grace (Annabelle Wallis) gave Inspector Campell (Sam Neill) a permanent limp.

Watery Lane (Powis Street – Liverpool, England)

You'll need to head to Liverpool to walk the grimy streets of the Shelby family's humble stomping grounds. More specifically, you'll stroll down the residential Powis Street, which served as the mud-caked, soot-filled Watery Lane in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in the series.

Thomas frequently traveled this road and its surrounding streets on his way to the Shelby home, his gang's gambling den, the canal docks, and the Garrison Pub. While these famous locales don't actually exist on Powis Street — and the real-life location, of course, looks far more contemporary than its post-WWI counterpart — its rows of connected, stone-constructed two-story structures will be immediately familiar to fans.

Charlie Strong's Yard (Black Country Living Museum – Dudley, England)

Aptly named for the soot-spewing iron foundries prevalent during England's 19th century, the Black Country Living Museum stood in as another key part of Tommy's turf. Several shady interactions with the Shelby family's sorta-uncle Charlie Strong (Ned Dennehy) were filmed here, as were scenes — like the pilot episode’s faux execution — by the nearby canal. In addition to Strong's scrap and boatyard, the stable where Curly would care for Tommy's racehorses resided here.

And while you won't find any of his steeds in the museum's stables today, the tourist destination effectively evokes the Peaky Blinders period. As an open-air, living museum, Black Country invites visitors to immerse themselves in another way of life, as historical actors, food vendors, and other era-specific interactions and entertainment transport them back in time.

The museum's recreated town also caters to those looking for the full Peaky experience, selling a variety of flat caps at its quaint clothing shop, as well as pints of dark ale at the local pub.

Birmingham Train Station (Keighley & Worth Valley Railway – West Yorkshire, England)

Whether a new Shelby nemesis was arriving in Birmingham or a disgraced family member was fleeing the city, there's a good chance they traveled by rail. Many of the series' train arrivals, departures, and platform conversations were filmed at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a historic station — still running steam and diesel engines — with a vintage vibe that was a perfect fit for the show's era.

Peaky fans looking to revisit the site of season 1's cliffhanger encounter between Grace and the diabolical Inspector Campell can book a ticket to this iconic location, which opened in 1867.

Garrison Pub (Stanley Dock – Liverpool, England)

Any Peaky Blinders fan worth their weight in betting slips probably has the Garrison Pub topping their list of locations to visit. Sadly, all the nefarious plotting, indulgent celebrating, and pistol-pulling encounters at the infamous watering hole happened on a soundstage in Manchester.

That said, faithful viewers can take a trip to Liverpool's Stanley Dock, where exterior shots of the pub were captured. The location also hosted the bloody showdown between Thomas and rival gangster Billy Kimber (Charlie Creed-Miles).

Those in Birmingham can also visit the tavern that inspired the show's criminal hangout. Currently closed and pretty rundown, the Garrison — on the corner of Garrison Lane and Witton Street in Birmingham’s Small Heath neighborhood — was the supposed real-life gathering spot of the street gang that the series' titular thugs are based on.

Polly Gray's Home (Port Sunlight – Wirral, England)

As Thomas Shelby's criminal empire expanded, so did his bank account. The gang leader wasn't greedy with his newfound riches, though, instead showering family and close friends with extravagant gifts. His spending spree begins in season 2, when he sets up his beloved Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory) in a stretching estate — complete with a maid — that puts her previous working-class abode to shame.

Those looking to check out Pol's mansion can head to Wirral, just outside Liverpool, where it sits in Port Sunlight. Much like the Black Country Living Museum, Port Sunlight is a popular tourist destination where visitors can spend the day. Packed with rich history, the picturesque spot hosts a village, a museum, and self-guided tours.

Thomas Shelby's Home (Arley Hall & Gardens – Cheshire, England)

Of course, Tommy secured the best real estate for himself, namely his purchase of Arrow House, the sprawling country estate he moved into with his wife, Grace. The historic mansion, where several scenes unfold — including a tense exchange between Tommy and frenemy Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy) — is actually Arley Hall & Gardens, outside Liverpool in Cheshire.

Like many of the show's filming locations, Tommy's doomed home is also tourist-friendly. In addition to hosting guided tours, the estate invites guests to check out its restaurant, gardens, and many interior areas, while also offering many seasonal and special events. In fact, last year Arley Hall & Gardens held a Peaky Blinders exhibition, where fans could tour rooms re-created to look just as they did when Tommy was the man of the house.
