Direction Unit: Idea Development

I went out and about Maidstone as a possible location for my Dexter drama. I wanted to find a gritty back-alley type street with terrace housing and shop/restaurant/take-away/pub buildings. I was also thinking about where my light sources would be as I'd be filming the scene at night and the location needs to tie-in with the script. One of Dexter's lines in the original script is:
 
"Miami is a great town. I love the cuban food. Pork sandwiches, my favourite."

So ideally, I want to find a take-away or pub down a street where Dexter is driving/walking to help establish the setting and anchor what is written in the script. It will also offer me another available light source when filming.
 
On top of a motorway bridge

I also plan to find a location which looks secluded in the woods (preferably with an abandoned building) or an empty, open car park (or a secluded multi-story), as that's where Dexter will end up.
