The London Docklands Setting
The London Docklands area provides the urban backdrop for much of the show's narrative, especially in its earlier series. This is visually reinforced within the show itself; between scenes in series 1-7, aerial shots of the London skyline are frequently played, subtly confirming the contemporary London setting and the flat's modern, city-centric location. While the exact street address is never specified, the general vicinity is clearly established as a vibrant, developed part of the UK capital, reflecting the living environment of young professionals and their friends.Key Aspects of the Flat
