Here are all the real-life filming locations of the new Netflix film you could actually visit.

The Ted Lasso star’s latest Netflix romantic comedy makes use of numerous genuine locations that audiences could genuinely explore.

Office Romance arrived on the streaming service yesterday (June 5) and has already gained traction amongst viewers. It was co-written by and features comedian and actor Brett Goldstein, best recognised for his portrayal of Roy Kent in the Apple TV sitcom.

He now appears alongside pop icon Jennifer Lopez as the duo headline what has been billed as a risqué romantic comedy. The narrative centres on two career-obsessed individuals who encounter difficulties when emotions become involved.

Lopez portrays Jackie, a President and CEO of an airline who maintains strict control over her business, including an inflexible anti-fraternisation rule for all staff members. When an attractive new solicitor played by Goldstein joins her company, that rule faces serious challenges.

The production features sequences in upmarket corporate headquarters and an opulent holiday retreat amongst other settings. Filming utilised various authentic locations which enthusiasts might potentially explore should they choose, reports the Mirror.

So where was Office Romance filmed? Here’s what you need to know.

Where was Office Romance filmed?

According to Time Out, considerable filming occurred in and around New Jersey. Numerous outdoor sequences including the pair’s hot chocolate rendezvous and Jackie consulting with legal counsel at a food van were shot around Hoboken.

Production teams were observed along the downtown waterfront during filming in April 2025. The location sits on the Hudson River, directly across from Manhattan in New York City. Daniel’s flat was shot at the Cliffs Lofts building. The Air Cruz offices, meanwhile, were filmed in Kenilworth, New Jersey.

The structure supposedly housing the company is actually the Northeast Science and Technology Center, which in reality accommodates world-class laboratories. Jackie’s residence can also be found in New Jersey, particularly in Montclair.

The work retreat sequences took production crews to the Dominican Republic. The adjoining villas occupied by the pair are located at the Cayo Levantado Resort on Samana’s coastline. According to Trivago, rates begin at approximately £650 per night.

Visitors to the location will discover villas and suites offering personal butler services, all-inclusive meals, private beaches and activities including whale watching and wellness retreats.

Several sequences feature Daniel visiting his sister in custody. A genuine prison facility was utilised for these scenes, with the exterior of East Jersey State Prison serving as the backdrop. This prison previously featured as a filming location for the blockbuster heist thriller Ocean’s Eleven.

Office Romance is streaming on Netflix.

This could be the ex-pat World Cup.

There’s so many US-based England fans planning to come to games.

Around 1,500 England fans bought tickets through official channels but the FA are expecting only 1,350 of them to turn up. I didn’t see many outside when I arrived but they are filling up in numbers now.

That is incredible support. Thomas Tuchel said yesterday that he wanted to offer a “big thank you” to the fans who were coming. What an incredible effort.

The incentive is that the loyal “top cappers” get caps for this and the next friendly (Costa Rica in Orlando next Wednesday).

That entitles them to privileges like World Cup tickets (which don’t count as caps).

England fans are sensational. The best I see while covering international football. But I’m unashamedly biased.

Jeremy Bamber was convicted of the 1985 White House Farm murders and has always protested his innocence – now new evidence including a 999 call and letters could change everything.

Explosive new evidence on the grisly White House Farm murders, including a 999 call and incriminating letters, could prove convicted killer Jeremy Bamber is innocent, 40 years after he was jailed for life.

On 7 August 1985 one of Britain’s most horrific crimes shocked the nation when five members of the Bamber family, including 6-year-old twin boys, were brutally shot dead.

The massacre in the village Tolleshunt D’Arcy, near Maldon, Essex, became known as the infamous White House Farm murders and Jeremy Bamber was convicted for the killings of his parents Nevill and June Bamber, his sister Sheila Caffell and her sons Daniel and Nicholas.

Nevill and June were shot multiple times and the children were shot several times in the head in their beds – one still with his thumb in his mouth, reports the Mirror.

Sheila was found lying on her back with the rifle pointing to her neck, having been shot twice, with a bloodstained Bible next to her. Police at first believed Sheila had killed everyone and then committed suicide, but a silencer with blood traces found in a downstairs cupboard pointed to a third party putting it away after the shootings and Jeremy Bamber was convicted.

Bamber, now 65 and serving a whole life sentence at HMP Wakefield, has always protested his innocence, but Philip Walker, director of the Jeremy Bamber Innocence Campaign, says: “Jeremy knows he’s innocent – it’s the driving force that’s kept him going through 41 difficult years. He’s hopeful this new evidence will be enough to bring this back to court.”

The unearthed evidence, including a 999 phone call, shocking letters apparently written by his mentally ill sister, catastrophic police failures and fresh ballistics reports, could demonstrate that Bamber is innocent in one of the UK’s worst ever miscarriages of justice.

A revelatory documentary, Jeremy Bamber: Proof of Innocence, airing on Channel 5 tomorrow, will run through the claims. It shows how a potential 999 call made at 6.09am from inside the farmhouse, after the police arrived and while Jeremy was outside, could give him the perfect alibi.

In a 2025 New Yorker podcast, PC Nick Millbank revealed: “I was call taking. It came through on the 999 system. Then there was movement or voices in the background.”

Philip says: “If that call took place, then clearly Jeremy is exonerated because he was standing outside surrounded by literally dozens of police while there were signs of life inside.”

A series of disturbing letters apparently written by Sheila, found in a drawer in the farmhouse, have only recently been investigated – at the time they were deemed too illegible.

Former police detective and investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas says: “She was very troubled. Five months prior to the murders she was admitted into hospital with psychosis.”

Dr Sohom Das, forensic psychiatrist, confirms in the documentary that Sheila was on medication for schizophrenia and schizo affective disorder and the erratic nature of the letters, which read like a suicide note, are consistent with that diagnosis.

He says: “She had started hearing voices that told her she was somebody else and she had this sense of paranoia. She believed she could somehow project evil on to others, specifically on to her twin sons. And she believed that they wanted to have sex with her and also commit violence.”

In the letters Sheila writes: “It’s a very messy, dirty business. As soon as this is dug up and the public knows, then my darling mummy, with my babies and me, go to our rest.” Expert analysis highlighted in recent reports also concluded that no silencer was on the gun that killed Sheila.

Philip says: “The central plank of the case was built around the moderator, and we now know with absolute certainty from four very distinguished pathologists, and a very well-known firearms expert that there was no moderator on the gun.”

Ballistics expert Philip Boyce examined the gunshot wounds on Sheila’s neck and found no evidence of scorch marks that a silencer would leave at close range.

It has also been discovered that the family owned many silencers, and Jeremy’s uncle Robert Boutflour also had the same blood group as Sheila – the jury were never made aware of this.

Mark says: “If you look at it with a proper analytical approach, the evidence tells you that none of it stacks up.” There is also crucial evidence from firearms officers that not only was the silencer left in a drawer for days by police, but there was astonishing crime scene interference from the senior detective at Essex Police.

PC Neil Davidson alleges: “Chaos reigned wherever DI Ron Cook trod. We used to call him Bumbling Ron for a reason. He was a clumsy sod. He was a nightmare.” He claims that Cook picked up the Bible and put it back in the wrong place.

Philip says: “In 2002, the Court of Appeal drew huge inferences of the Bible placed next to Sheila’s shoulder in an unnatural position, implying it had been placed there. Now we know it wasn’t there, it was actually about 18 inches from her waist on the right hand side.” There are also claims that the second gunshot to Sheila was caused by an accidental discharge of the rifle, cementing a suicide theory.

Bamber’s legal team plans to submit a report demanding that the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) review their original objection and refer the case.

Philip says: “The documentary highlighting the evidence will help. There is no doubt that public pressure is one of the main reasons that miscarriages of justice get overturned.

“This is the longest running miscarriage of justice in English legal history.”

Responding to the allegations, Essex Police refer to the fact that several appeals and reviews have concluded that Bamber is guilty, while the CCRC says they are working to consider additional matters raised in his application.

Jeremy says: “Even today we believe that we’re going to win and I hope we do, and I believe that we will, but it just seems that there are ever more hurdles to overcome.”

The Healaugh Park branch will be closed from Saturday, June 6, until 8am on Thursday, August 13, as the development progresses, Aldi has confirmed.

Shoppers will instead need to travel to Aldi stores in Thornaby, Coulby Newham or Stockton during the 68-day closure from early June.

Sainsbury’s will be the only supermarket in Yarm while the store is shut.

The near ten-week closure comes as contractors push ahead with expanding the shop into the former Whitworth Chemist unit next door.

Aldi, which had been looking at extending the site for some time, first revealed its plans last year, with councillors giving the green light in December.

A spokesperson said: “Work is progressing well on extending our store at Healaugh Park, Yarm, and we’re pleased that the store has remained open during these preliminary extension works.

“However, we’d like to inform customers that the store will be temporarily closed from 6pm on Saturday, June 6.

“The newly extended and refurbished store will reopen at 8am on Thursday, August 13. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.

“Whilst works are being carried out, customers will be able to visit our other nearby stores at Thornaby, Coulby Newham and Stockton.

“The extended store will provide an improved shopping experience for our customers and will create up to 10 new jobs for local people.

“We look forward to welcoming our customers back.”

The store’s car park was fenced off in March as construction teams moved in. Since then, the former chemist has been stripped out, with walls taken back to brick.

Steelwork has also been installed at the front of the unit as part of the extension.

Once complete, the store will gain an additional 353 square metres of floor space, along with a new entrance lobby, staff room and customer toilet.

Plans also include a new paved area to the side of the store, similar to that outside Whitworths, as well as an expanded trolley bay.

Parking provision will increase to 89 spaces in total, including 85 for customers and four for staff.

The project will also involve re-roofing the building and widening the service yard.

A naked tourist who attempted to shadowbox police in Ibiza was beaten up by officers

The English-speaking tourist was detained by police in Ibiza after a chaotic confrontation on a beach promenade in front of stunned holidaymakers on Thursday in San Antonio, one of Ibiza’s popular tourist resorts.

The man, who was reportedly exercising without clothes on the seafront, attracted the attention of members of the public who alerted authorities. When officers arrived, the situation quickly escalated.

Video footage from the scene appears to show police striking the man with batons after he allegedly shouted insults in English and challenged officers to a fight while naked.

During the incident, he can be seen moving across the sand on his hands and knees as he attempts to evade officers.

One British tourist was heard saying ‘oh my God’ while watching officers overpower the man. Another bystander could be heard shouting: ‘Hit him, hit that d***head hard’, The Sun reported.

Whereas another onlooker is reported to have said: ‘Hit him, hit that d***head hard.’

the man repeatedly shouted at officers when they arrived and swore at them as they approached him.

Authorities came to the scene after receiving numerous complaints from concerned members of the public over a short period of time.

It was reported that onlookers thought the man was drunk ‘disturbed and quite agitated, possibly due to the consumption of drugs’.

The man was taken to Can Misses Hospital, the main public hospital in Ibiza Town.

Police have not yet confirmed if he will face charges or what his nationality is.

The incident comes only days after another disturbance in San Antonio involving two tourists who were filmed fighting late at night.

Footage showed the pair rolling around on the ground and exchanging blows, leaving blood stains on a large public art mural beneath them.

An attempt by a bystander to break up the fight failed when another individual unexpectedly joined the fray and punched the peacemaker, allowing the confrontation to continue.

The footage surfaced as local officials announced plans to increase police numbers across San Antonio during the busy summer season.

Temperatures of 32C are expected come kick-off at the Raymond James Stadium, but Tuchel will have plenty to sweat over beyond the weather. The stadium’s playing surface is not quite up to Premier League scratch, and he will hope at the very least to keep his players fit, with a first group stage match against Croatia now just 11 days away. The All Whites of New Zealand, meanwhile, are gearing up for just their third World Cup appearance, with Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood leading the line.

The flight from Fuerteventura was diverted to the capital.

Passengers were forced to land at Edinburgh Airport on Saturday afternoon after the pilot made a swift decision. Malta Air flight FR1667 from Fuerteventura was set to land at Bristol around 3.25pm on June 6.

Instead, passengers were diverted to the Scottish capital and the aircraft landed around 3..50pm, according to Flight Radar. The reason for the diversion has not been confirmed.

The flight left Fuerteventura shortly before 11am. It’s understood the pilot did not declare an emergency onboard.

Malta Air is owned and operated by Ryanair. The airline have been approached for comment by our sister title Edinburgh Live.

This comes following a separate incident on May 28, where officers boarded a Ryanair flight after it touched down in Edinburgh.

An incident took place on the flight from Riga to Scotland’s capital with a passenger saying half a dozen officers boarded upon landing. After departing from Latvia at 10.45am local time, the plane touched down in Scotland at 11.35am.

A video from within the plane appears to show an officer walking down the aisle of the packed flight while passengers look on in shock. Other footage appears to depict authorities surrounding the plane on the tarmac.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 11.40am on Thursday, 28 May, 2026, officers received a report of a disruptive passenger on a flight arriving at Edinburgh Airport. Officers attended and no criminality was established. Advice was provided.”

A spokesperson from Ryanair said: “Crew on this flight from Riga to Edinburgh (May 28) called ahead for police assistance after a passenger became disruptive onboard. The aircraft was met by police and the passenger was removed.

“Ryanair has a strict zero tolerance policy towards passenger misconduct and will continue to take decisive action to combat unruly passenger behaviour, ensuring that all passengers and crew travel in a respectful and stress-free environment, without unnecessary disruption.”

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police confirmed officers were called to a ‘suspicious item in a front garden’ on Abram Close shortly after 6.05pm.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has issued a pardon to Stephen Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana who served nearly two years in prison for making illegal stock trades based on inside information after he left office.

Buyer was sentenced to 22 months in prison in 2023 for trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000, representing the amount of the illegal gains, and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released in 2025.

The Supreme Court in May rejected Buyer’s appeal without comment or noted dissent.

In granting “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon,” Trump cited Buyer’s career as a judge advocate general in the Army and in the House that was “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon was dated Thursday and released by the White House late Friday.

Buyer said the pardon “corrects a politically motivated prosecution” and that it was “horrific to be imprisoned for a crime that I did not commit.” He maintains that he is innocent.

White storks (Ciconia ciconia) are a majestic bird with a two-metre wingspan and an enormous circular nest.

The recent release of these stunning birds at multiple sites in England, with more releases planned and a public consultation under way has kicked off a debate about whether non-native birds should be part of rewilding projects.

The government advising body Natural England says it does not consider white storks to be native birds. But some experts disagree and say it is a native species and was hunted into extinction in the 1400s.

What is a native species?

In the UK, native species are those which have been present throughout the last 12,000 years. This includes migratory species which breed in or visit the UK. It also includes species which have been eradicated by humans but reintroduced.

In England, a licence is needed to introduce any species which is not ordinarily resident, or a regular visitor, to England. This is partly because these species could become invasive, a term used when a species cause substantial environmental or socioeconomic harm.

But even when species are not native, they can have value for rewilding projects.
The white stork’s biggest contribution to rewilding is likely to be their ability to inspire the public interest in nature. Storks in Europe are so popular that there are special stork villages which are managed for tourism, and people can see these iconic species up close.

White storks are definitely regular visitors to England, and rare but present in the subfossil record (the last 4000 years). This status as a regular visitor means they fall somewhere between a native and non-native species – they are not considered a priority for introduction, but no license is required for their release.

Introduced non-native species can cause problems. A good example is Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), brought to the UK by the Victorians as an ornamental plant. It rapidly spreads and causes damage to the structure of buildings and essential services such as water and drainage pipes. Controlling it now costs the UK £247 million each year.

Introduced species are also a major conservation challenge, such as the damage to seabird populations by invasive cats, rats and other animals feeding on their eggs and chicks. If a rewilding project introduces a non-native species, it could become invasive and cause serious disruption to native species already in the landscape.

But evaluating the impact of adding new species to the landscape is important even when a species is considered native. The Scottish beaver trial was conducted to evaluate the impact of introducing beavers (Castor fiber) from Norway in 2008. Eighteen years later, beavers are a key part of many rewilding projects, from London to large estates in Scotland.

What can white storks add?

White storks are charismatic species which are viewed positively by most people, and this could increase engagement with nature. In Poland, tourists travel hundreds of kilometers to visit white storks, making them valuable for rewilding projects which use tourism to raise funds.

Non-native species are also introduced as “ecological analogues” which means they provide the same ecological function as extinct species. The steppe bison (Bison priscus) which roamed the UK in the Pleistocene period were mixed feeders, which means they ate a combination of grasses, leaves and the woody parts of plants. By feeding on a variety of plants and plant parts, mixed feeders like bison can encourage a patchwork of habitats in a landscape. The native steppe bison is extinct in the UK, but projects like Kent Wildlife Trust’s Wilder Blean project have introduced the related, but non-native, European bison (Bison bonasus) to provide these functions.

Adapting to warming climate

Better adaptation to future climates is another reason to include non-native species in rewilding projects. As the UK’s climate changes, species are moving from places where they are considered native to new areas which suit them better. The southern small white butterfly (Pieris mannii) has spread northwards in Europe and was first seen in the UK in 2025. This small butterfly has successfully made the journey over the ocean, but other species may require human help to move to new areas with more suitable climates.

As an island nation with many locally extinct species, the introduction of species has formed a key part of UK conservation, including rewilding projects. It does matter whether a species is native or not. Although both could benefit rewilding projects, non-native species carry greater risks to local environments and have higher regulatory requirements.

The white stork’s status as a regular visitor could allow them to sidestep the regulatory requirements for non-native species, though impact on the environment should also be considered.

But as their nests can attract birds such as swallows and martins, introducing white storks could have broader benefits to the landscape.
