The film based itself and shot all set scenes and car driving scenes at Garden Studios in North West London, a leading hub for independent film.

“The experience I had on Goodbye June would not have been possible without the wonderful support of the entire team at Garden Studios. Their willingness to accommodate the requirements of our cast and crew was outstanding, especially given the limited budget we had and with so many of us! They simply made it a joy to come to work every single day.” – Kate Winslet, Director, Goodbye June
