We’re almost half though the sixth series of Line of Duty now, and we’ve still not idea who this missing ‘H’ might be!

As AC-12 and the team are on the hunt for bent coppers, those watching at home are trying to piece together the local filming locations.

The first season of the hit BBC crime drama was filmed in Birmingham, but from season two onwards, production moved to Belfast.

Avid local fans will notice that even the road signs and town names have been altered across the city for the show.

The BBC has never shared exact locations used on the show, but several fans have spotted iconic landmarks including Belfast Central Library on Royal Avenue and the Obel Tower.

Where is Line of Duty set?

The shows’ location has never been officially revealed. It is thought to be a town somewhere in the UK but is kept deliberately ambiguous.

Where is Line of Duty filmed?

Actors and crew members have been seen filming in an array of locations across Belfast city, including Talbot Street and the Cathedral Quarter.
