'Too Much' London And Brooklyn Filming Locations: The Restaurants, Pubs And Areas You Can Actually Visit
While you may have found yourself wrapped up in the drama of it all, one of the show's main components is its many locations. As the series sees Jess move to London, the city takes centre stage, with many well-known boroughs, pubs and restaurants featuring throughout the series.
Below, we detail all of the exact filming locations seen throughout the 10-part series.
At the beginning of the series, Jess's expectations of London and where she'll be living almost immediately falter when she quickly realises that she'll be living in a housing estate rather than a large aristocratic countryside home. The interior and exterior for her flat was filmed in a flat on St Peter's Estate in Hackney.
Shoreditch's town hall doubled as the location for Jess's visit to the hospital after accidentally setting herself on fire and the vet where her dog Astrid was treated.
After facing disappointment due to the reality of her less-than-glamorous living situation and surroundings in London, a level of hope is restored for Jess in the eighth episode when she accompanies Felix and his friends to a wedding at a country house estate. The wedding was filmed at Englefield Estate in west Berkshire.
Throughout the series, observant restaurant-goers will have noticed that the show features a number of restaurants based in and outside of London. Frizzante at Hackney City Farm, The Ivy House in Nunhead and The Ivy Richmond Brasserie all make appearances.
While searching for a location to film the agency's Christmas ad, Jess and her co-workers find themselves in the scenic village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, along with Andrew Scott's pompous director.
While at a pub called The Royal Standard in Beaconsfield, Jess has an awkward drink with Scott's director.
Once again, Jess finds a moment to escape the realities of London and takes a trip to Notting Hill to see the area where the titular movie was filmed. In one scene, Jess poses outside 280 Westbourne Park Road as Felix takes a picture of her.
On two occasions, we see Felix play gigs alongside his band: one in a flashback and the latter in present day. The former takes place at a record and book shop called Dash The Henge in Camberwell. The venue was inspired by Lena's husband, Felix, who has previously played several gigs there in the past.
Felix's second gig in the series takes place at the fictional Hackney 'DonkeyFest', which actually takes place at Hackney City Farm. He plays with his band as Jess and the Pollys (three of Felix's close female friends) look on and get to know Jess.
During a flashback, we see Jess's awkward run in with her ex-boyfriend Zev and his new fiancé, Wendy. The encounter takes place at Cuppa Hive Coffee, Brooklyn.
After many privately recorded video messages to Wendy later, Jess finally meets her Zev's new fiancé in the final episode. The pair meet for a coffee, at a family-owned restaurant called Chambers, near Victoria Park.
As another flashback takes place, we see how Jess and her then boyfriend Zev came to be. The pair first met at Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn, a well-known bar where guests can buy budget friendly drinks alongside free pizza.

Music Review: Elton John's 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre With Ray Cooper' spotlights a rich catalog
On Elton John's new concert album, the songs steal the show. Deep cuts from John's rich catalog are given the spotlight on 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre With Ray Cooper.' The 13-song set was culled from a six-show residency in London in May 1977, with John at the piano and his longtime percussionist, Cooper, joining him for the second half of the show. The album initially received a limited release on vinyl for Record Store Day and will be available digitally and on CD for the first time beginning Friday. While John, of course, performed his biggest hits during the residency, the album wisely focuses on often overlooked material, pointing to the astounding quantity of quality songs John produced early in his career. That includes 'Cage the Songbird,' a lilting tribute to Édith Piaf from the underrated 1976 LP 'Blue Moves.' Another highlight from that album is the cabaret jazz ballad 'Idol,' which shows John could have thrived in a lounge had the rock star thing not worked out. The piano man's playing here is closer to Liberace than Little Richard, because ballads predominate, and Cooper's role is tastefully restrained. Even when the tempo gets brisk on 'Better Off Dead,' the song is delightfully hammy operetta rather than rock 'n' roll. From start to finish, John sings with relish: He knows how good these songs are. 'Where To Now St. Peter?' features an especially vigorous vocal, including full-throated falsetto. 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre' underscores John's lyricist Bernie Taupin's vital role in their songwriting partnership. The album opens with 'The Greatest Discovery,' a pairing of sweet sentiment and a charming melody, while 'Ticking' is a gripping tale set in Queens that anticipated America's epidemic of gun violence. John introduces 'Ticking' and two other songs by noting he doesn't perform them often, or often enough. Banter elsewhere is mostly brief and stiff, but his droll wit does surface in one exchange with a spectator. 'How are you tonight? Nice handkerchief,' John says, before telling the rest of the audience, 'He hasn't washed that in three years.' The 1977 performances took place as punk and disco were knocking John off his pop pedestal and ending his years-long reign as a consistent hitmaker. 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre' offers a reminder that not all of his superb songs were singles. ___ More AP reviews:

What to know about the CEO caught embracing an employee on the jumbtron at a Coldplay concert
LONDON — A routine moment of crowdwork at a Coldplay concert went viral last week when a couple tried to avoid the spotlight after they were caught hugging on the jumbotron. Internet sleuths quickly figured out that they were the CEO and chief people officer of a little-known tech company called Astronomer. The snippet of video set the internet alight, fueling a wave of memes and drawing attention to the erosion of privacy in public spaces. Here are some things to know: During the concert on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song,' when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on. A man wearing a birthday sash was up first. Two people in banana costumes were highlighted. But in between, something unexpected happened. For several seconds, a couple was shown on the big screen. They were cuddling and smiling, his arms wrapped around her, as she leaned back into him. When they saw themselves on the big screen, her jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera. He ducked out of the frame, as did she. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked. It didn't end there. After the video went viral, the internet got to work. Online sleuths rapidly figured out that the man was Andy Byron, chief executive officer, while she was Kristin Cabot, the chief people officer — in other words, the head of human resources. Astronomer, based in New York, provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data. The company at first said little about the incident. In response to an initial inquiry from The Associated Press, Astronomer's spokesman said only that a statement attributed to Byron that circulated online immediately after the incident was a 'fake from a clearly labeled parody account.' The company later confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to AP. In the hours after the video went viral, Byron's name was at one point the most searched term on Google. Astronomer eventually addressed the situation, announcing in a LinkedIn post that Byron had been placed on leave and that the board of directors had launched a formal investigation. The company said a day later that Byron had resigned, and that its cofounder and chief product officer, Pete DeJoy, was tapped as interim CEO while it searches for Byron's successor. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said in its post on LinkedIn. It's easy to miss, but most concert venues have signs informing the audience that they could be filmed during the event. Look for them on the walls when you arrive and around the bar areas or toilets. It's common practice especially when bands like to use performances for music videos or concert films. The venue in this case, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, also has a privacy policy online which states: 'When you visit our location or attend or participate in an event at our location, we may capture your image, voice and/or likeness, including through the use of CCTV cameras and/or when we film or photograph you in a public location.' In the internet age, such videos — or ones taken on someone's smartphone — can quickly zip around the world. This video rocketed around social media, as people speculated about why the couple dodged the camera. Empathy for the pair and their families was mixed with plenty of snarky commentary and countless memes, with the fake statement from the chief executive generating a lot of additional vitriol. And news reports said that Byron's LinkedIn account was disabled after it was flooded by a wave of comments. 'It's a little bit unsettling how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us — and how the internet has gone from being a place of interaction, to a gigantic surveillance system,' said Mary Angela Bock, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media. 'We are being surveilled by our social media. They're tracking us in exchange for entertaining us.' _____ AP Business Writer Wyatte Grantham-Philips contributed to this report from New York.
