Good Omens London Trip 🐍💞🪽

It's my Birthday today and I treated myself to a trip to London last weekend to see my favourite actor Michael Sheen in Nye at the National Theatre. I made the most of my weekend by combining it with a Good Omens filming location self-tour and I'd love to share it with you all. So, are you ready for the tour?

Here we go!

Starting off with Soho, and the inspiration for Whickber Street, where Aziraphale's bookshop, Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death, The Small Back Room, and the Dirty Donkey are located.

It’s Berwick Street and a record shop that is very similar in shape to A.Z Fell & Co. Bonus points for spotting Duck Lane!

Next is Berkeley Square, a short walk from Soho. The first two photos are of the real Berkeley Square gardens in Mayfair, and the last two photos were taken in the filming location of Tavistock Square across the other side of central London near Kings Cross. I’m sitting on their ‘body swap’ bench in the last photo!

As you can see, the benches are turned around facing inwards now but are the other way, facing outwards in Good Omens.

Oh, and I can confirm that there were no nightingales singing in either location 😭

Heading up the road a few minutes from Tavistock Square to The Enterprise pub where I met a fellow fan who kindly took photos of me posing (I bet the staff thought we were off our rockers!). This is where Crowley drowns his sorrows in Talisker Whisky whilst waiting for the world to end after thinking he'd lost Aziraphale. Omg that poor poor demon, he was really just gonna die along with the world.

Also, one of my favourite moments of season 1 is Crolwey's line: "I heard that. It was the wiggle-on..." then shrugs. 😆 So many emotions in such short a time.

Onto the Ritz. The first two photos are of the real Ritz (a stone's throw from Berkeley Square) and the last one is inside Masala Zone in Piccadilly Circus where the ‘Quite extraordinary amounts of alcohol’ and ‘To the World’ scenes were filmed.

I ate in here alone to get the photo and was so lucky with the table I was given! Perfect discreet snap whilst eating my curry! Haha!

Next up is Battersea Park and the Bandstand. It was a bit of a faff to get there, it's an 8-minute walk from the Battersea Power Station underground and we walked the full length of the park to find the Bandstand, but it was so worth it.

Also filmed here was Gabriel and Aziraphale’s run/jog. Poor Angel is soft scene.

The trees were a little leafier with it being mid-May and the park was very busy because the weather was glorious. They also have a beautiful lake here with herons!

The Heaven & Hell staircase escalators are right over the east side of London in Broadgate Tower, Bishopsgate. I got the overground to Liverpool Street station to get there. It is in a private business building so I politely/awkwardly asked the receptionist if I could take a photo and had to explain about the scene from Good Omens… eek! But he kindly let me snap a photo anyway! (Phew)

The Windmill Theatre was three minutes away from my hotel in Piccadilly Circus, so I wandered up the road to take a photo of where Aziraphale ‘performed on the West End stage’ as Fell the Marvelous. And wasn’t he just?

The scenes weren't filmed here but it was fun to find it anyway.

St James’s Park is up next! I sat on their bench and got my friend to take photos of me posing and had fun editing the first photo. Haha! We enjoyed walking through the park, watching the ducks on the lake and had a nosey at Buckingham Palace while we were there.

The Duke of York Statue steps are at the other end of St James's Park and were fun to walk up. I smiled to myself as I thought of the scene where Crowley says ‘Well let's have lunch? Hmm,’ and Aziraphale turns around, as it was the first time I realised that these two were more than just friends.

Heaven’s top floor, the Sky Garden in Fenchurch Street near Monument is a very tall building with a botanical garden on the top floor. You can visit the sky garden for free, but you do need to book in advance so it’s best to plan ahead for this one. The views of London are breathtaking from the 35th floor and the tropical plants are fun.

My last stop for this visit was Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. I booked a tour on the morning I was due to go home. The first tour is 10 am and lasts an hour, so I dashed off as soon as the tour guide was uttering his last words about the gift shop, across London back to Kings Cross to pick up my suitcase from luggage storage and get the 11:48 am train home!

One I missed and could have easily gone to is Abingdon Street where Newton and Shadwell meet, and Shadwell fleeces Newton for a cup of tea with nine sugars and pockets the change. A bit gutted I missed it to be honest – I love Jack Whitehall (I’m back in London with the family in June so I’ll swing by and update then!)

There are also some other locations a little further afield that I might try to visit on a later date, such as Shadwell's and Madam Tracy's flat down Hornsey Road in Islington, Crowley's Flat exterior in Eastfields Avenue, Best Cafe on Garratt Lane where Crowley meets Shadwell, Crystal Palace Dinosaur Park where the ineffable husbands watch Warlock defacing a dinosaur sign and Antonella's Cafe and Bistro where Crowley and Aziraphale are thinking of ideas to track down the antichrist whist Aziraphale eats cake.

Okay, I’m gonna finish up with the man himself. The very kind, very charming, and VERY patient Michael Sheen The reason for my London visit in the first place. Nye was spectacular OBviOUsLy, but he was super generous with his time at stage door for us all. I got a hug and asked him to pass it on to Aziraphale (that angel really needs a hug) and it made him laugh, which made my night!

Here’s the wonderful map I used -

Shax and Crowley Meeting (First Two Scenes)

Thoughts on 1.03: Crowley and Shax meet in the park AND 1.07: Crowley and Shax talk in the Bentley

I love “The clarinet makes beautiful music” shenanigans, and how done with it Crowley is from the very beginning.

I don’t really have anything new to add to this, but yes! Crowley randomly talking about ducks, forgetting he brought them up, and then circling back to the topic is always such a beautiful thing to witness!

I also appreciate that Crowley has officially clarified that ducks should be fed frozen peas rather than bread. However, I do think that it’s very interesting that Crowley says that the “love them and good for them" line to another demon. There’s something very optimistic about him agreeing with another demon that humans will always come up with worse things than they can, then explicitly expressing interest in both the health and happiness of ducks. It has an almost “Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?” sort of vibe.

Lastly, yes, Crowley! Dismiss Aziraphale as an unimportant player or try to convince Shax that he's a being who is no longer even in the game(s) between Heaven and Hell! Crowley is just so consistently protective throughout this season, and I adore it! (I also love the irony that, to Crowley, Aziraphale is the only important player / being, in or out of the game.)

And for Shax and Crowley talking by the Bentley, I don’t have anything else to say beyond the fact that I love how Crowley is teaching Shax sarcasm! However, having rewatched it, I’m sort of curious whether Shax is playing up their ignorance at all? Years before “present day,” they already seem quite savvy, and they definitely carry themself differently when talking with other beings. (Like, is there any chance this is part of a stratagem to get Crowley to be friendlier / more helpful by resembling Aziraphale? Probably not, but I think the idea is fun!)

I also think that it’s interesting that for now, Shax is still very clearly “playing nice.” She doesn’t attempt to touch or enter the Bentley at all (though Crowley leans against it.) An interesting contrast to how she enters it both when Aziraphale is driving and later when Crowley is sitting in it.

The Buckingham Palace flower beds are in full bloom. 🌹

Scarlet geraniums are used to match the tunics of The Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace. 💂

Creating a wonderful view of St James's Park for the public and the Royal Family. 👑

Dropped into St James' Park and it feels very weird being here after writing my last couple of chapters. Crawley and Angel had a good time though.

favorite niche GOmens fanfic trope is just. Hozier. like as a character in the fic. he just listens to crowley ramble drunkenly and it goes smth like this

Crowley, at some Irish Bar, Drunkenly Slurring: And like, I ssslitherrrred alllllllll’th way from Ed’n jus’to what? Jus’to sit outside his door?

One Andrew Hozier Byrne, who unknowingly sat next to a drunk demon absolutely YEARNING for an angel, wildly scrawling into a notebook: Mhm…that’s rather sad, keep going?

(an even better addition to this is that one day crowley hears From Eden or any other song that is inevitably about crowleys love for aziraphale on the radio or smth (bonus bonus points ifs she’s still in touch w him) and goes “I TOLD HIM THAT IN CONFIDENCE-“)

#aeth talks #aeth listens to music???#good omens #hozier #andrew hozier byrne #from eden #even read one where he (hozier) was immortal and becomes friends with crowley after accidentally eavesdropping on the st james park argument #that was cool
