The episode takes place in the 1980s and featured vintage stores like WH Smith and Chelsea Girl.

Croydon is a large town in South London, England, about nine miles south of Charing Cross. It has a population of 379,031 as of a 2015 census. St. George’s Walk is a covered shopping parade in Croydon with many stores.

Everything was decked out to look like the 80s.

You might also notice an Easter egg on the bus. Its destination is “Skillane,” which is the name of a character from White Bear.

In this photo, you can see Bing Cabs in the background.

And an old timey pizza hut. The signs even have retro-looking phone numbers.

In answer to questions on Twitter, @CosmicScale said the set wasn’t closed and anyone could walk around as long as they weren’t filming.
