ITV1 Grace locations: Where is John Simm detective drama filmed?

Detective drama Grace returns to TV screens this spring with John Simm back as the titular policeman Roy Grace and his cast full of seasoned UK actors including Craig Parkinson and Rakie Ayloa. More on the cast, here.

But one of the other big stars of the show is the area Grace is set and filmed in, Brighton. Peter James' character lives and breathes the Sussex seaside village and some of the scenes include the very recognisable pier.

The brand new series of Grace airs on ITV1 at 8pm, Sundays, with the first episode going out tonight, March 19. You can catch up with both new and previous episodes of Grace on ITVX.

As the show is set in Brighton, Grace is filmed around that area of Sussex. You'll see the Grade II listed Brighton Palace pleasure pier located in the city centre opposite the Old Steine. The South Downs outside the town have also been used in previous series of Grace for some gloomy scenes.

Scenes have also been filmed in Rottingdean and Burgess Hill.
