A city centre street has been transformed into the London Borough of Hackney as filming is underway for a new Paramount+ drama.
A prequel to the cult 2000 film Sexy Beast, which originally starred Ray Winstone as Gal Dove, Ben Kingsley as Don Logan and Ian McShane as Teddy Bass, is currently being shot in the city. Cast members and film crews have been photographed in Rumford Street, near Moorfields Station.
Last week, the Jumbo Cafe in Anfield was transformed to look like a corner of East London for the show. The street’s signs were changed from Bingley Road to Strawberry Lane, which had ‘E1’ and ‘London Borough of Hackney’ written on it.
