London monument recreated on city street for Sky series

A London landmark has been recreated in Liverpool City Centre as film crews descend.

Crews appeared to be making a recreation of London's Cenotaph on Water Street, in between the Liver Building and the Cunard Building on Tuesday, January 24. The road was closed to traffic in both directions as the area was transformed into a London street.

The road was covered in a dark grey gravel before the Cenotaph was recreated in the middle of the street. The ECHO was told it was related to filming for the Sky drama series COBRA which follows the British Government and its COBRA committee - and how they deal with national emergencies.

Last year, images captured by the ECHO showed a shoot happening at Exchange Flags for series two of popular Sky TV show COBRA. Crew members were also seen walking down Water Street and around Liverpool's Town Hall.

This isn't the first time the Sky team have been in Merseyside filming, as the region also appeared in the show's first series.

With two series already, production has kicked off on season three ahead of a 2023 debut on Sky Max and streaming service NOW. With Sky confirming production has taken place, they were unable to confirm whether filming was here in Liverpool.

The six episode series, called Cobra: Rebellion, will see Prime Minister Robert Sutherland, played by Robert Carlyle, and his team return and face their "biggest challenge yet".

Last year was another incredible year for filming in Liverpool. Film crews were seen shooting scenes in Anfield, the Georgian Quarter, and in other parts of the region including Prescot and Bebington.

From a new Marvel mini-series to the film Sexy Beast, may famous faces have been spotted in Liverpool.
