BBC Two drama Industry filming locations: where is the show set and where was it filmed? London and Cardiff locations revealed.

Industry is the latest drama to have us hooked, and episode two airs on BBC Two tonight.

The show was filmed mostly in Cardiff, Wales, at Pinewood Studios, but is set in London, England.

Lena Dunhem, who directed the series, tweeted last year: "AHHHH! I'm so excited to announce I’m directing & executive producing a new series with @hbo called INDUSTRY.

"It’s all about the cutthroat world of international finance. Think Wolf of Wall Street meets Melrose Place. I've moved across the pond for the summer to shoot this - specifically Wales UK - which is a dreamy place with fairytale gardens, super sweet humans, and dragon mythology. So taking reccs on secret spots, cuisine, you name it! Stay tuned for more! [sic]."
