The City is the main setting of the show. It is never referred to by name either on screen or in the script.

The city is located somewhere in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. In Series 4 it is stated to be within close proximity to the M6 motorway, and that both the A38 and A51 pass through it. It is also said to be around an hours drive from Northampton.

The city is run and managed by an elected Mayor and City Council, who operate out of City Hall. Other elected officials include the Police and Crime Commissioner.

The vast majority of the city is built up and urban, especially the city centre area of Kingsgate. Large buildings, industrial estates and residential areas cover many square miles.

In Series 1 it is shown that there is at least one canal in the city (where the Kingsgate Canalside apartments are located), and Series 3 shows a large river with multiple bridges going through the city at Riverside.
