You and Me is the coming-of-age story, told from two timelines, of the lives of Ben (played by Harry Lawtey), Emma (Jessica Barden) and Jess (Sophia Brown).

Where was You and Me filmed?

You and Me made its debut on Thursday, February 23, at 8pm on ITV, with two more instalments to follow in the same time slot.

Ben, who has a relationship with both Emma and Jess, is a young northerner whose life gets far more complicated and interesting when he moves to London.

The romantic drama was therefore filmed in southeast London in the summer of 2022, with cast and crew spotted in locations such as New Cross and....?

Producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins, explained to press, including Express.co.uk, why London made sense to film in.

Dominic said: "We wanted to get that sense of London being 'wow', it's hot, it's summer in the city and you're sitting out, having a tinny.

"But when we first talked about it, we talked about Bridget Jones and Notting Hill and what a strong sense of place those shows have but that's kind of been done.

"So we looked at Telegraph Hill and Greenwich, those bits that aren't seen, they're cheaper to film in and look fresh.

"It's young, lots of young people are living there and we were really really lucky and that comes across."

Jess star Sophia Brown went on to add how filming in the capital at the height of summer made the show feel "real".

"I personally think London is the greatest city in the world, particularly in summer", she said.

"Not being from London and a lot of my friends are not from London and I think in your 20s when you're kind of still fairly new to this city, you find your people.

"In summer, you get swept up into this bubble and there's this palpable energy.

"That just breeds you meeting new people and those stories just happen, moment by moment, day by day in summer, it just kind of rolls into one so I think it was a perfect set in London.

"It felt really right that we were running through Deptford Market.

It felt like there were people actually doing it, maybe in Ridley Road Market and that might happen to them and it felt real."
