Apple TV’s “Slow Horses” follows Jackson Lamb and River Cartwright as they work out of Slough House, a unit for MI5 staff deemed failures, while they investigate and stop plots that range from terrorism to other criminal threats.
Across coverage, outlets highlight the London settings used in the show, describing both on-location spaces and fictionalised “hideouts” associated with the series. The articles focus on the show’s recurring addresses and venues—such as Lamb’s workplace and other recognizable parts of the city—presented as places the characters visit or operate from during investigations.
Because the story is told through the series’ writing and production design, some locations are presented as real-world references while others are portrayed as imagined or blended environments. The different write-ups mainly vary in how they describe and catalogue these settings, rather than in the core premise of the programme: MI5 “rejects” continue to tackle high-stakes cases from an unconventional headquarters in London.
