Wertham

Wertham, often simply called The Estate, is a fictional borough of inner-city London, United Kingdom. The show was filmed around Thamesmead in the East End of London, which stands in for the fictional Wertham. Although Wertham is never stated to be within London in-show, it clearly based on a borough of London.

Wertham seems to be a largely impoverished urban area full of council houses, graffiti-covered concrete walkways, overpasses, down-at-heel public buildings, and disused factories, but with a cleaner suburban area too. There are some wilderness areas also, although it is mostly urban. So far Wertham has been revealed to have several pubs and bars, at least two nightclubs, a Community Centre (which is surrounded by Wertham's lake and in which much of the action takes place), a bowling alley, a warehouse, a convent for nuns, a graveyard, a zoo, and Wertham General Hospital. Wertham is blighted by gangs.

Wertham is the only location where The Storm is known to have hit and given people Powers.
