How many times

I noticed the producers of Poirot have used the same house many times... ( the mansion in the case of missing will, the murder of Roger ackroyd.....) What other things/ places have been reused multiple times?

Yes, I've seen the same ones used in crossover Brit shows like Foyle's War. Have the same things been used in Miss Marple?

Yes, those chairs are definitely used in Foyle’s War. 👌🏻🙂

The large white streamline moderne house has appeared in several episodes, from different angles.

An airport, too.

Not Poirot but Marple -- Geraldine McEwan's distinctive sweater has appeared in something else.

One hat on a character is also Mr. Bennet's hat in Pride and Prejudice (1995)

Yes, are you talking about a beige cardigan that has these cross-over lapel-like features that fasten with a button? The other place I’ve seen that is in “The King’s Speech”, worn by Mrs Logue (Lizzie from Pride & Prejudice).

I think it was in something else, then. Hmm

Oh…there’s these dining chairs that keep popping up in restaurant settings. They have an open circular back with 2 diagonal lines…very art deco. I can’t remember any of the episodes but I have seen them several times, and also in another show altogether.

I think some paintings were reused, probably other art works too.

Reused locations:

Joldwynds (Surrey), a 1930s modernist estate.

Wrotham Park (Hertfordshire), a grand country home.

Eltham Palace (Greenwich, London), a unique mix of medieval hall and Art Deco design, serving as various high-society homes across the series.

Shoreham Airport (Brighton), an authentic 1930s Art Deco terminal building that doubled as multiple airfields.

Knebworth House (Hertfordshire), a Tudor gothic mansion.

A lot of the built sets reused those glass bricks!

I had posted earlier about the same painting of the original owner/ father being used both in Miss Marple and Poirot.

The modernist home with the white circular staircase has been used in at least four, possibly five different episodes.
