Thorndon county park in Brentwood was chosen to film because it is a beautiful country park with diverse habitats that is managed for both people and wildlife, containing ancient woodlands, historic deer parks, recently planted forests, and small pastures. The underwater studio in Basildon was also selected to film some shots underwater for a unique and realistic look, though it may cost money to book. A school drama hall will be used to film most close-up and lip syncing shots. Warley nature reserve offers beautiful scenery whatever the season and is peaceful for walking, while Regent's Park in London contains Regent's University and London Zoo within its Royal Park lands in northwest London.
