Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References

The World's End - Letchworth All the pubs featured in the film do not exist in real life in their The World€™s End guises. However, they are actually regular pubs in Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth Garden City, but given new, significant names. Ironically, a pub crawl in Letchworth €“ where the majority of filming took place €“ is that it would be over very quickly. Until 1995, the town had only 6 drinking establishments €“ two hotel bars and four pubs. Even now, there are only 7 pubs and one hotel bar, which for a British town of 37,000 is an incredibly low figure. However, it does possess the UK€™s first roundabout, something which was referenced in the film, with Newton Haven picking up that honour in Letchworth€™s place.
