In Sex Education series four, Margam doubled as Adam Groff’s military college, Mountainside. 

Wills Memorial Building, Bristol 

You don’t need to be a student to peek behind the splendid facade of the Wills Memorial Building on a guided tour. You can even climb the 68-metre-high Wills Tower for a bird’s-eye view of the city. In series four of Sex Education, the building doubles as the Wallace University library.
