The Avengers on Location

The Avengers inhabited an extraordinary landscape of aristocrats, mad scientists, and spies, having only a tenuous connection with the realities of 1960s England. Filmed in a variety of locations in southeast England, many of the settings are easily accessible and remain virtually unchanged after 40 years. This guide to the locations for The Avengers, and numerous other classic television shows from the 1960s and 1970s, is an absorbing gazetteer of strangely familiar follies, pubs, hotels, and country lanes. "Then and now" photos accompany many of the entries in this compelling alternative history of cult television.
