Secret Service, ITV

Based on the bestselling novel by Tom Bradby, Secret Service follows senior intelligence officer Kate Henderson (Gemma Arterton) as she uncovers evidence of foreign interference at the highest levels of British politics.

The recent ITV drama transformed Forum Magnum Square, a private location that we manage exclusively, into a square in Helsinki. It underwent a Scandinavian makeover, with Finnish signage, set dressing and carefully selected vehicles helping to sell the transformation.

For anyone passing by during filming, it would have been a fascinating reminder of just how much work goes into creating the worlds we see on screen. With the right combination of location, art direction and production design, a familiar London setting can become almost anywhere in the world.
