McMafia takes the modern global underworld at its word, following dirty money from London to Mumbai to Tel Aviv – and films in all of them. This is a genuinely globe-trotting series, stitching a dozen real cities into one seamless web of organised crime.
Where was McMafia filmed?
The series was shot across the world, anchored in London and reaching to Istanbul, Belgrade, Prague, Mumbai, Tel Aviv, Croatia and Qatar. Its international sweep is the whole point – money and violence crossing borders.
Every McMafia location, explained
London – the Godman family
The Godmans’ world of banks, boardrooms and expensive flats is London, the show’s home base and the hub of its clean-money facade.
Istanbul, Belgrade and Prague
The European underworld plays out in real cities: Istanbul (around Sultanahmet), Belgrade (the Skadarlija quarter) and Prague‘s old town all feature.
Mumbai, Tel Aviv and beyond
The trail of money reaches Mumbai, Tel Aviv, Croatia and Qatar, giving the series its convincing sense of a borderless criminal economy.
Planning a visit
London and Prague are the most accessible of the show’s many stops, both compact and walkable. The pleasure of McMafia is that its locations really are the cities it names – Istanbul’s Sultanahmet and Belgrade’s Skadarlija among them.
