Royston Vasey is a small fictional town in the north of England, and the setting of the BBC television comedy series The League of Gentlemen. It has made famous the comedic phrase "a Local Shop for Local People". Royston Vasey is the real name of British stand-up comedian Roy 'Chubby' Brown, who played the part of the town's Mayor in a cameo appearance. Filming of the television series took place in the Derbyshire village of Hadfield.
The preceding radio series On the Town with the League of Gentlemen was set in the equally fictional and almost identical town of Spent.
