The Lazarus Project was shot in the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic
1) Bristol
Even though the show is set in London, the majority of it was filmed in the city of Bristol in Cardiff. Its shooting also took place in various locations around London and Wales. For instance, Bedminster's East Street was closed off and given a 90s theme with electronic stores and bookies on the streets.
Some of the most prominent buildings that make an appearance in the series include Brandon Hill, Christmas Steps, Swing Bridge, The Engineers House, Brunel House, Brighton Street, Berkeley Square, and Maywood Crescent, etc.
In a press statement, Line Producer Darren Green said:
"Some of the larger buildings throughout the city center replicate the look of London buildings and streets. Filming in Bristol has always been a pleasure, with Bristol Film Office, the community, and local businesses willing to help and be helpful."
2) Prague and Postoloprty
The capital of the Czech Republic, Prague is one of the most prolific filming locations for several films and shows over the years. It's the biggest city in the country and the seat of government. It houses more than 1.3 million people and is located beside the Vltava River. The city's pleasant oceanic climate makes it perfect for shooting and producing motion pictures and series.
Some of the movies and shows shot at this location include The Bourne Identity, Mission: Impossible, Hellboy, Amadeus, Casino Royale, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and its sequel The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Van Helsing, Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Some parts of the show were also filmed in the small town of Postoloprty. It is located in the Louny District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. Almost 5000 people live here. This town has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century.

It further states:
"George and his colleagues are the few people on Earth with the ability to remember the events that are undone when time goes back. But when a freak accident harms someone close to George, Lazarus won’t let him turn back time to undo it unless there is the threat of global extinction."
