The Ashley Walters-starring crime drama Top Boy has seen quite a few changes in its decade on our screens.

While new episodes will drop this Friday on Netflix, the show originally began life on Channel 4 back in 2011. After two seasons it was cancelled in 2014, only to be saved by celebrity super-fan Drake.

Now the show’s fourth season is about to drop on the streamer, with RadioTimes.com calling it the “most ambitious season yet” in our Top Boy season 4 review.

Given all this change and upheaval, the show has also had a number of different filming locations over the years, with different estates and London boroughs doubling for its Hackney setting.

Read on for everything you need to know about where Top Boy was filmed.
