You can watch the action-comedy DEEP COVER (2025) on Amazon Prime Video. It takes place in the London criminal underworld and has a unique twist. The movie is directed by Tom Kingsley and written by Colin Trevorrow, Derek Connolly, Ben Ashenden, and Alexander Owen. Bryce Dallas Howard plays Kat, and Orlando Bloom, Nick Mohammed, Paddy Considine, Ian McShane, and Sean Bean also star. The story follows three improv actors who are recruited by police to embed themselves into a criminal gang using improvisational performance tactics. The absurdity of blending theater with undercover police work unfolds in real London neighborhoods, giving the movie a raw and authentic visual backdrop.
WHERE WAS DEEP COVER (2025) FILMED?
Filming for Deep Cover began on February 5, 2024, and wrapped in late March 2024, taking place almost entirely on location in London, England. The filmmakers wanted to show the gritty charm of the city’s underworld as it really is. Director Tom Kingsley emphasized this in an interview with Variety, noting that the team “wanted the movie to feel real” and that “London needs to look a little dangerous, not too picture postcard.”
LONDON, ENGLAND – THE CORE LOCATION
Much of Deep Cover was filmed on-site throughout Greater London, including its historic and financial districts. The team avoided artificial backdrops, instead relying on real neighborhoods, banks, and city streets to frame the scenes.
LEADENHALL STREET – CITY OF LONDON
One of the most prominent locations seen in the film is the Lloyd’s Bank building at 113–116 Leadenhall Street. This area is in the City of London and is the center of the financial world in the city. Leadenhall, with its tall office buildings and narrow historic lanes, was a great place to film scenes with important deals and secret meetings. The 0.54 km stretch from Cornhill to Aldgate helped make the setting for the sting operations put on by the improv actors more interesting.
CANARY WHARF – ISLE OF DOGS, LONDON BOROUGH OF TOWER HAMLETS
The bustling district of Canary Wharf, located on the Isle of Dogs, served as another filming site. Known globally as London’s secondary financial hub, its striking modern skyline and glass high-rises contrasted with the more traditional parts of the city. The action scenes shot here tap into the fast-paced nature of the storyline, adding a contemporary edge. It’s likely the cast filmed scenes involving business fronts or intelligence drop-offs amidst the high-security buildings and docklands.
SHOREDITCH – LONDON BOROUGH OF HACKNEY
The filming also took place in Shoreditch, which is in East London and is known for its street art, creative vibe, and busy nightlife. Shoreditch gave the movie its more colorful and rebellious feel. Scenes were filmed in places known for their murals and graffiti, which may have been meant to show how different the undercover cops are from the people they’re spying on. Shoreditch’s mix of old warehouses and cool bars made it a visually interesting and flexible place to film both during the day and at night.
BARKING – LONDON BOROUGH OF BARKING AND DAGENHAM
Further east, the riverside town of Barking was used to shoot several important sequences. Barking is in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It is known for having both industrial areas and residential neighborhoods. These backgrounds helped set scenes in low-key places where criminals meet or do business on the street. It looked less polished, which added to the rough tone that director Kingsley was going for when he showed London’s subway.
EAST LONDON INDUSTRIAL ZONES
The crew moved to dark industrial areas in East London for scenes that needed a rougher, more dangerous feel. These areas set the perfect mood for the darker parts of the movie. It was especially hard to do shoots at night because extra security was needed to keep the crew and cast safe. During chases and secret operations, these places were used to make things more tense. The creepy lighting and industrial background helped balance the funny parts of the movie with a realistic look at undercover work.
