The café will close at 3pm.
Scenes for the first series were shot in Watford, Mill End, Harrow, and Stanmore, with the finale described as “bit of a love letter to Watford”. The show takes inspiration from real-life diary recordings Jack made when he was younger and reflects how he came to terms with losing his father and becoming comfortable with his sexuality.last year, Jack said: “Sometimes I think Watford gets a bit of a bad rep, and I really wanted to celebrate Watford for what it does have.”
In real life, Jack attended St Clement Danes in Chorleywood before studying at the University of Westminster in Harrow, rather than the fictional Brent university featured in the show.
