Where Is Heartstopper Filmed?

Heartstopper was primarily shot in Herne Bay, a coastal town situated on the Thames Estuary’s coast in Kent.

The Bay Pier at Central Parade, the beach, and the town centre of the seaside town were all used to film scenes.

Filming began in April 2021 and was completed in June 2021 – when the drama’s working title was Evergreen, crews were sighted in Herne Bay for one day of filming.

Truham Grammar School serves as the perfect setting for much of the action in the programme, as it is where the lads first meet.

Unfortunately, the school is a work of fiction, although sequences placed there were shot at Herne Bay High School on Bullockstone Road.

Netflix has previously filmed in Kent, with sequences from the hit programme Sex Education being shot in Folkestone’s Harbour Arm.

Heartstopper is a series based on a series of graphic books of the same name written by YA author Alice Oseman, who also serves as the series’ writer and executive producer.

Nick and Charlie, two students at an all-boys’ grammar school, meet at the start of a new term and instantly become friends in Heartstopper.

Soon later, they develop feelings for one another and begin to pursue a tentative relationship.
