Where was Shaun of the Dead filmed
Shaun of the Dead
Year: 2004
Country: United Kingdom
<p>Often referred to as a rom-com (romantic zombie comedy), this 2004 movie combines an eccentric mix of romance, comedy, and horror. The main character, Sean, played by Simon Pegg, is a downtrodden London traveling salesman who gets caught up in an unexpected zombie apocalypse. His life, which used to be a quiet one consisting of work, a relationship with his girlfriend and his friendship with Ed, takes a spectacular turn when the reanimated dead begin to fill their city. The comedy was filmed mostly in London, which gave a realistic feel to the story. Sean's apartment is located in Crouch End, at 83 Nelson Road in the North London neighborhood. The grocery store Weston Park Food, which is next door to Sean's apartment, also appears frequently in the movie. The exterior scenes of the fictional Winchester pub were filmed at the famous Duke of Albany pub on Monson Road in New Cross, and Ealing Studios was used for the interiors. </p>

Locations
Electronics store
In movie
Scene where Sean comes to work at the electronics store. On this day, his boss is absent, and Sean is left in charge. However, he does not enjoy much respect among his colleagues: during a meeting, one of the employees is talking on the phone, while the rest of them stare disdainfully at the ceiling.
Real
Scene was shot at the real-life electronics store Garland Electronics, which is located on the High Road in London. This location is a well-known retail distributor of home appliances and other equipment. The store also offers a wide range of audio and video equipment. Known for its extensive range of products and excellent service, Garland Electronics, has established itself as a popular place among the locals.
Pub
In movie
Scene where A group of survivors led by Sean seek refuge and head to the local pub, hoping to find shelter there. However, a crowd of zombies is chasing the team relentlessly, and someone must divert their attention. Of course, this role goes to Sean himself. He makes loud noises, distracting the zombies and giving his friends a chance to sneak inside the empty pub.
Real
Scene was shot at the Duke of Albany pub at 39 Monson Road in London. This location is the setting for some of the most tense yet comedic scenes in the movie, as Sean and his friends try to escape the zombie hordes. However, in real life, the Duke of Albany pub is no longer in operation. After filming, it was closed down and later converted into residential apartments. This is a fairly common fate for many historic London pubs that lose their popularity and are eventually transformed into residential accommodation.
Sean and Ed's house
In movie
Scene where Sean and Ed's neighbor, Pete, bursts into their house in the middle of the night, unhappy that he's being disturbed from sleep by the sounds of the DJ rig the boys have turned on. While Sean and Ed enjoy the rhythmic tunes, Pete clearly does not share their enthusiasm.
Real
Scene was shot in a house on Nelson Road in the Crouch End area of North London. The area has a typical North London atmosphere: residential houses with Victorian architecture, cozy stores and local pubs. Crouch End is a fairly quiet but also active neighborhood, with a rich history that has become an important part of London's urban landscape. In the 1990s and 2000s, the area attracted both students and young professionals due to its location within an urban area and proximity to public transportation.
