 This 1930s apartment block is now well know for appearing in Agatha Christie's Poirot since it's debut in 1989. It has appeared throughout the series' 25 year run appearing in most of the episodes. It was used as the exterior for Hercule Poirot's flat (the interior was based at a set). It first appeared in The Adventure of the Clapham Cook (1989) and last appeared in The Labours of Hercules (2013), the penultimate episode.

2. Greenway House, Galmpton, South Devon

Now owned by the National Trust, Greenway was originally owned by the Queen of Crime herself, Agatha Christie. Poirot's creator used Greenway as a holiday home and is famous for its connections to the author. In June 2013, David Suchet, Zoe Wanamaker and the Poirot production team went down to Greenway to film their final film Dead Man's Folly (2013). Greenway became 'Nasse House' in  the fictional town of Nassecomb for the production.

3. Knebworth House, Hertfordshire

Knebworth House in Hertfordshire became 'Melfort Abbey' in 2009 when the Poirot production team filmed the episode Three Act Tragedy (2010) there. It was the scene of a brutal poisoning as well as housing an alumnus in the back garden! Although the house is actually in Hertfordshire, 'Melfort Abbey' was actually set in Yorkshire. Knebworth House has also been used as the eponymous house in the Marple episode Greenshaw's Folly (2013).
