The Hawk, Brentford

After Strike hurts himself at Andrew Fancourt’s home, he and Robin walk down the street and celebrate his birthday in the Hawk pub. In real life, the pub is called The Weir Bar (24 Marketplace, Brentford) and it’s only used for the exterior in the episode. The interior which was used for filming belongs to the Hope and Anchor pub, the same location which was used for the first meeting of Strike and Matthew, but with different decoration.
