It was an incredible old Georgian building. And it was a very old river master's house, and I think it was a commune for a while. And it was like an oasis in this huge housing estate. It was a house right on the riverside in the East End of London. REEVES: The Russian house where she goes and plays chess, that was in the most extraordinary location. And in Season 3, where I have a meet with Ben Chapman in a launderette i – I don't think we could get it with the first season, we couldn't lock in the location – but in the third season, I meet Ben in the launderette, which is at the launderette that is in the book. So he set it in that building, in that location, and that is where we film. OLDMAN: Conceived that building that is Slough House, it’s the building that Mick Herron used to walk past, or travel past on the bus, every day to work. I was invited to a small screening of it, and it was the first movie that I was in where I thought, “I can't believe I'm in this film, that I'm involved and that I'm part of it.” To me, it's one of masterpieces, actually. And it was, I think, the first movie that I saw. But I thought what Oliver did with it was just really quite something. I have a pivotal role, but not a huge role, in the film. GARY OLDMAN: You know, I'm awfully proud of JFK.

Oldman also share what it’s like eating 20 bowls of noodles a day, previous projects they’re proud of, and when Slow Horses Season 4 will begin filming. Ahead of Season 2’s premiere on Apple TV+ on December 2, Collider’s Steve Weintraub was able to sit down with stars Oldman and Reeves to discuss the advantages of shooting on location in London, filming in the building author Herron’s Slough House was inspired by, and where they are with the production of Season 3.
