Lyme Regis Beach

In this season of Heartstopper, Lyme Regis Beach on the south coast in Dorset serves as the beach in the first episode where Nick and Charlie share that kiss. And yes, Lyme Regis beach is just as beautiful and romantic IRL.

Whipsnade Zoo

Is it just us or did Nick's zoo birthday party look seriously fun? The episode 3 party was shot at Whipsnade Zoo, London's largest zoo located in Bedfordshire. There, you can see remarkable true-to-life habitats that are home to animals from all over the world.

Farnham

In season 3 of Heartstopper, Elle starts at a new school, The Lambert School of Art. The fictional school was filmed at The University Of The Creative Arts (UCA) in Farnham in Surrey, mid-way between London and Lyme Regis where the beach scene was filmed. And yes, it's just as picturesque in real life.

Upton Court Grammar School

Darcy and Tara's school, Higgs School for Girls, is meant to be next door to the boys' school, Truham Grammar School in the show. It was actually filmed at the Upton Court Grammar School in Slough outside of London.

Herne Bay High School

Herne Bay High School in Kent doubles as Truham Grammar School where Nick and Charlie go to school.

University of Kent

In the show, the characters visit the University of Kent (yes, the real one) as they visit potential universities to attend the following year.

University of Oxford

The students also pay a visit to the real-life University of Oxford. We got a peak at a few iconic Oxford sights.

University of Leeds

Finally, some of the gang visit the University of Leeds. Nick makes things a little complicated when he seems to like the university — even though it would take him pretty far away from his friends.

Menorca

Nick and his family are seen on a sunny vacation in Menora, a Spanish island and frequent destination for UK tourists. Heartstopper fans, start planning those vacations ASAP.
