The series takes viewers on a journey through an array of iconic spots in the UK and further afield.
Over a decade after the film adaptation of David Nicholls’s best-selling novel One Day hit the big screen, the book has been given the TV treatment on Netflix.
Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall take on the roles of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew – parts previously portrayed by Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess in the film adaptation – in the new series, which tracks the duo’s lives over two decades as they navigate the highs and lows of life… both together and apart.
But it’s not just the will-they-won’t-they dynamic which has gripped viewers, but also the series’s recognisable filming locations.
From country houses and a Tudor wedding venue to an iconic hill, the series takes us on a journey through an array of iconic spots in the UK and further afield.
Read on for everything you need to know about where One Day was filmed.
Where in Edinburgh was One Day filmed?
In episode 1, Emma and Dexter meet for the first time at a university graduation party in 1988.
This was filmed in the courtyard of The Old College, a historic building at the University of Edinburgh.
Where is the hill from One Day?
After spending the night together in episode 1, Emma and Dexter hike up Arthur’s Seat, which is the huge hill that overlooks Edinburgh from the east, and is now part of Holyrood Park.
Where is the hotel in Rome in One Day?
In episode 2, we see Dex enjoying an adventure in Rome.
He wanders in front of the 17th-century Fontana dell’Acqua Paola and the Spanish embassy across the via Garibaldi, before moving through the greenery and restaurants of the Trastevere quarter.
He then meets his mother at a hotel, which was filmed at two hotels near Piazza Navona.
The entrance is the Camp de’ Fiori, on via del Biscione, while the terrace is part of the Bio Hotel Raphaël in Largo Febo.
