But that all changed whenPeaky Blinderscame along in 2013.
Its a rare example of a renowned British gangster story that doesnt take place in the capital.
Rise of the Footsoldiertakes place in Essex, which technically isnt London, but is very close.
Peaky Blinders is a historical crime drama created and written by Steven Knight and starring Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, and Helen McCrory. The television show is based on the gang, Peaky Blinders, a group that banded together after the end of World War I.
