Production Chadha was originally brought into the project as a scriptwriter : When the project came to me, the studio, Paramount, had had it for five years and even though they 're British books they had these two American guys adapt the book and they could n't get it to work. I read the script and thought how weird, this is a sort of LA male 's version of an English girl 's childhood and then I read the books and I thought wow, there is something here that relates to me growing up that I had n't seen in the script. I thought this could be a British genre film or be like Clueless or Mean Girls in England and I liked the idea of doing a British version of those films. Then it clicked that it should be like Sixteen Candles. Most of the scenes were filmed on location in Brighton and Eastbourne. Others, such as the gig scene and some interiors and exteriors for Georgia 's house, were filmed in and around Ealing Studios, London. Areas in nearby west London like Bishopshalt school in Hillingdon and the Liquid nightclub in Uxbridge were used as well. Other sites include locations in Teddington and Twickenham. Costumes included green blazers and kilts borrowed from St. Bede 's Prep School in Eastbourne, and props included Eastbourne 's signature blue bins to add to the effect and continuity when filming in multiple locations.
