Romantic Locations of One Day



First met in Scotland in 1988, on the day they graduate from Edinburgh University.


Dexter and Emma do what so many Edinburgh residents do-meander up the grassy slopes to reach the top. The name of the peak supposedly refers back to King Arthur.


Dexter meets his mother in Paris, they rendezvous at Café le Neamours, a classic cafe off the Palais Royale.


Driving from Paris to Dinard, Dexter and Emma witness some of Europe’s most stunning landscapes and charming small towns.


One of the most stunning locations in One Day is the French resort of Dinard, the town to which Dexter takes Emma for a getaway.


When Emma moves to Paris to write her first novel, she finds a charming artist-style apartment in the 11th arrondissement. For those Paris-savvy people, it’s a perfect neighborhood.


In Paris, Emma catches up with Dexter by the Canal St. Martin, a waterway close to both her apartment and where her French boyfriend plays jazz. Again, the location is perfect for this couple.


In a scene that captures the luxury and excess of the 1990s, Dexter and Emma have it out in a public squabble at a posh London restaurant. The location for the scene is Floridita, a Cuban-style cafe that is situated in the center of London’s trendy Soho district.


In One Day, Emma swims at one of the celebrated art deco lidos on Hampstead Heath.


In One Day, when Tilly gets married at The Lady Chapel in Westminster Cathedral, both Dexter and Emma are in attendance. It’s a magnificent space in one of London’s most important Catholic churches.


As the relationship between Emma and Ian begins to unfold, they head to the Rio Cinema for a date.
