According to the plot, the film takes place in London, and the director (Guy Ritchie) wants to show us the real city as a separate character, to show how gangsters interact with billionaires, and ordinary people are forced to live and do business taking into account the balance of power. He does all this with the help of various and very interesting real London locations. That is why all the filming took place on location and practically no sets were used in the film.

Filming Locations:

Golf Course

In the Movie

The scene where Lenny meets with Russian billionaire Omovich on the golf course to show who's boss and lay out his terms for cooperation. But he overestimates his influence, and as a result, the billionaire's henchman breaks his legs and leaves him on the field.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a beautiful golf club located west of London - an elite establishment with hotels, spas, and huge playing fields. In a word, it's a club worthy of billionaires.

Abandoned Tunnel

In the Movie

The scene where One-Two, after a failed attack on Russian mercenaries, runs along the railway. He hides in the shadow of the tunnel, and when the mercenary approaches, he hits him with a large stick and then escapes the pursuit.

In Reality

The scene was filmed on a railway near London's airport, specifically in the Connaught Tunnel. This branch is now abandoned and unused, but it still looks quite decent. It was because of the tunnel that the location was chosen - it perfectly suited the scene being filmed.

Drug Rehabilitation Clinic

In the Movie

The scene where Johnny leaves the drug rehabilitation hospital after completing his treatment and meets Archie, who brought him that very painting. They discuss where it came from and what will happen to Johnny next.

In Reality

The scene was filmed near the Geffrye Museum of the Home. This is a large dark brick building, near which events are often held. The museum is located almost in the center of London and features a rich exhibition of classic English interiors.

Wembley Stadium

In the Movie

The scene where crime boss Lenny and billionaire Omovich meet in the VIP box at the stadium to make a deal. During the negotiations, Omovich tells that he has a lucky painting and offers Lenny to take it for the duration of the deal.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in the stands and VIP box of Wembley Stadium. This place was chosen for a reason, as Omovich is a clear parody of Abramovich, who was the owner of an English football club and stadium, which the filmmakers emphasized by shooting the scene in the setting of a sports facility.
