What you’ll see on the tour

Led by a costumed Midwife!

As you walk around the dockyard, you will recognise the streets and buildings that have been used to portray the area around Poplar Dock (set in the East End area of London) where many memorable scenes involving its stars, such as Miranda Hart and Jenny Agutter, have taken place.  See sites such as the Lisbon Buildings, the exterior of The London hospital, Thames dockside scenes, the entrance to Doctor Turner’s surgery and much more.

The Call the Midwife Tour of Locations is a gentle-paced walking tour led by your very own ‘midwife’.  Your ‘midwife’ will share with you fascinating anecdotes about the filming of the show and behind-the-scenes facts. Your midwife will set the scene by providing a background to Chatham Dockyard itself.

A variety of other locations around The Dockyard have appeared in the BBC One production, as well as countless other movies and TV shows productions over the years.
