8 filming locations from Netflix's 'The Crown' you can actually visit in real life by Lindsey Olander on Jan 19, 2018, 12:24 PM Advertisement
 - While crews couldn't actually go inside certain places — like Buckingham Palace — fans can visit a number of locations featured in the show.
- These include Lancaster House and the Lyceum Theater in London.
- In Scotland, Ardverikie House and Slains Castle served as Balmoral and the Queen Mother's Castle Mey.
Already through its second season, Netflix’s biographical series on Queen Elizabeth II has taken the streaming world by storm—the drama, the costumes, those sets, and the real-life palaces that bring royal life and post-war Britain back into the present day.
At $100 million, the show clocks in as Netflix’s most expensive production to date—but no amount of money can buy filming crews a way into the Queen’s beloved Buckingham Palace. So where were those scenes filmed? Jetsetter found out. SEE ALSO: Here's exactly how many days you should book your flight in advance to save the most on airfare 1. Buckingham Palace, London  Of course, a show about England’s longest-reigning monarch couldn’t get away with leaving out her royal residence. Though Buckingham Palace’s interiors remain off-limits to film crews, its iconic exterior makes its cameo more than a few times.
2. Lancaster House, London  Despite being the “lowly” neighbor of Buckingham Palace, the interiors of this grand house in London, built in 1825 by the Duke of York, are arguably just as grand. The Long Gallery room, in particular is used as a dining room in S1:E7 in preparation for the American President’s visit; the main hall, with its double iron-wrought staircase, glowing lamps, and scarlet carpets, provides another dramatic stage as the couple accept Buckingham Palace as their new residence. While not open to the public, you can still catch a glimpse of its opulent interior architecture during September’s annual Open House London.
3. Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire  Only real royals, like Will and Kate, can get married at Westminster Abbey. To stage Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s royal wedding in S1:E1, and Elizabeth’s subsequent coronation in S1:E5, the cast and crew headed to Ely Cathedral, an Anglican church built in 1083 near Cambridge, whose enormous cast-iron doors, dramatic stained-glass windows, and soaring romantic archways is the perfect stand in. The show’s location scouts weren’t the only ones to appreciate the resemblance: you’ll spot Ely Cathedral standing in for Westminster in both The King’s Speech and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
