Strangers - John Simm (2018) - FEHD Quarters, Sai Yee Street

David and Lau Chen's flat makes another appearance in Episode 2, however, I recently went for a wander in the area and took a quick photo of the section that was used in the filming and I can confirm that only the exterior was used. The reason is because it appears (from my photo) that the end doorway used for the flat is in fact the entrance to the building's stairwell! You can see the Exit sign above the lintel in my photo (see last image).

The first image shows Jonah (John Simm) getting out of a cab on Sai Yee Street with the FEHD building behind him. On the left is where the Mongkok Road pedestrian bridge where it turns left to continue on towards Mongkok East station and the (now named) Moko mall. It looks like sometime in the past the bridge either connected to or was intended to connect to the FEHD building. It's been blocked off for as long as I can remember.

Hi Phil,

Walked by the area earlier tonight and found the Waterworks depot next door had already been demolished. Don't know what would become of the empty lot now.

Hi Thomas, yes I was there on Wednesday and noticed the same. No doubt it will become a new residential development. The FEHD quarters remain intact for the time being though. Phil

Hi Thomas, I can confirm that the FEHD quarters have also now been demolished. I guess they had been emptied during filming which is why they were easily available for use at the time.
