“Tom goes through that door in London and three months later he’s inside,” Patnick told Time Out.
South Bank
After finishing a relatively easy day’s work in Holland Park, Pine/Goodwin heads back to his flat on the South Bank, overlooking the Thames. As Patnick explains, he and the team wanted to include the river to remind viewers that we are firmly in London as the season begins – so naturally, they filmed on location.
Aldwych Station
The team also spent some time filming at Aldwych Station, a station in Westminster that closed for business in 1994. It now opens only for tours – and the odd film crew. You’ll spot the station in the opening episode.
Wild, Notting Hill
Pine meets Roxana in this restaurant, a swish, chic Mediterranean spot with brick walls and warm, burgundy interiors.
Wellington College, Berkshire
Richard Roper’s son Danny becomes part of the story in season 2. Pine ventures to his school to meet with him – it was filmed in Wellington College, Berkshire, a co-ed boarding and day school in Crowthorne.
Three Cliffs Bay, Wales
Pine also finds himself meeting with Sally and Basil in a remote cottage. These scenes were filmed in Three Cliffs Bay, Wales, which provided the perfect gloomy, atmospheric backdrop. “It was as cold and wet and windy as it appears!” says Patnick.
Richmond-upon-Thames
You’ll also spot the idyllic Richmond-upon-Thames, which provided the backdrop for an early operation.
Brompton Cemetery
This cemetery was used as the location for a funeral scene.

Medellin, Colombia
Pine soon makes his way to Colombia, where the plot really begins to unravel. The team chose the city of Medellin, just north of the country’s capital of Bogota.
“I ended up in Medellin and suddenly in front of me was The Night Manager,” recalls Patnick. “It was opulent and visually exciting, it had contrasting areas, it was cinematic, it had scale. And the Colombia Film Commission were so helpful and supportive.”
Medellin Hills
Pine spends some time in the breathtaking hills outside of Medellin. This is where the incredible modern mansion sits towering above the city below.
Cartagena
We also spend some time in the port of Cartagena filming some key sequences.
Hotel La Gavina, Costa Brava
In scenes set in the Medellin gun club, tennis court, and Medellin restaurants, the crew set up camp at the beautiful Hotel La Gavina.
Torre Melina Gran Melià, Barcelona
One of the most dramatic sequences took place in a magnificent hotel where an abduction takes place. The crew chose the grand Torre Melina Gran Melià in Barcelona, close to where they filmed shots of the interior of Pine’s Holland Park office.
Tenerife
A few moments were filmed in Tenerife, which stood in for Syria, where the first season was set.
New episodes of The Night Manager season 2 are available to watch on BBC iPlayer and BBC One every Sunday at 9pm
