St Albans: The Garibaldi features in ITV's Code of Silence

The Garibaldi - or Canterbury Tap - has featured in ITV's Code of Silence after crews were spotted in and around St Albans last year.

Scenes were captured during a three-day filming period at The Garibaldi pub in October 2024.

"This (Code of Silence) is the series that was being filmed in The Garibaldi last year. Can’t wait to see what can be recognised so very excited and hopefully the program should be a great watch," read a post from the pub's landlady, Caroline Beale.

"It was only the interior that was filmed not the exterior and it’s called the Canterbury Tap - we are showing it in the pub."

Ayling-Ellis is joined by Kieron Moore, Charlotte Ritchie and Andrew Buchan in the new drama.

Code of Silence is told through the point of view of Alison Brooks - played by Ayling-Ellis - a deaf canteen worker who is struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs, one in a police canteen and another in a local bar.

Alison is pulled into a high-stakes police investigation when DS Ashleigh Francis - played by Charlotte Ritchie - asks that she use her lip-reading skills to monitor a dangerous criminal gang.
