Our region\u2019s magnificent example of neoclassical architecture is a must\u2011see for any\u00a0Peaky Blinders\u00a0fan. St George\u2019s Hall<\/strong>\u00a0has enough to marvel at in\u00a0of itself,\u00a0but pair it with the fact that\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0hosted some of the show\u2019s most integral moments and it becomes something truly iconic\u2026<\/p>\n

Inside the grand main hall, fans will\u00a0recognise the backdrop to Grace\u2019s death in Season 3 and the explosive fascist rally and failed assassination attempt on Mosley in Season 5. The production didn\u2019t rely solely on the Hall\u2019s grandeur either: its dark, looming underbelly became the perfect setting for the Shelby family\u2019s (almost) execution at the start of Season 4, while its maze of corridors and side rooms doubled convincingly as the Houses of Parliament during Tommy\u2019s time as an MP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eagle\u00a0eye viewers will be able to see\u00a0the\u00a0outside\u00a0of the hall in The Immortal Man, with the imposing Corinthian columns at the front and usually peaceful St John\u2019s Gardens at the back of the building\u00a0ladened with sand bags, fake smoke and rain machines as the exterior\u00a0stood in\u00a0in\u00a0for a\u00a0Blitzed-out Birmingham.<\/p>\n

But beyond its starring roles on screen, St George\u2019s Hall is a world\u2011renowned neoclassical landmark and Grade I listed treasure. Reopened in 2007 by King Charles III after extensive restoration,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0now one of Liverpool\u2019s premier venues for weddings, events, performances, and major civic moments. Opposite Lime Street Station and anchoring the William Brown Conservation Area, the Hall has been a focal point of Liverpool life since opening in 1854, hosting everything from royal visits to public\u00a0protests,\u00a0earning\u00a0its place as the emotional heart of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the team behind St George\u2019s Hall, Peaky Blinders left an indelible park on the building:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI had worked in St George\u2019s Hall for a long time before I realised just how significant it is to\u00a0Peaky Blinders\u00a0fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It happened during a guided tour I was leading in the Great Hall. Out of nowhere a visitor asked,\u00a0\u2018Did you meet him?\u2019\u00a0I was baffled,\u00a0until she leaned in and whispered, with absolute reverence,\u00a0\u2018Cillian.\u2019\u00a0I told her I\u00a0hadn\u2019t\u00a0crossed paths with Tommy Shelby himself, but that\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0dampen her excitement. She became utterly transfixed by the surroundings, pointing out where the Shelby Charity Foundation dinner was filmed and\u00a0recounting every dramatic moment of that\u00a0particular scene.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, the production has returned to the building many times\u00a0inside and out. Fans are often stunned to learn just how much of interwar Birmingham was\u00a0actually recreated\u00a0right here in the heart of Liverpool.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a testament to the extraordinary level of detail the design teams achieve.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

One moment\u00a0in particular still\u00a0stands out:\u00a0\u201cI still recall the eerie sensation of walking past the massive banners and period props staged for Mosley\u2019s rally. Seeing Sam Claflin\u2019s character represented in such a realistic way was genuinely unsettling, the level of\u00a0craftsmanship\u00a0made the fascist iconography look far too authentic for comfort.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
