At which studio was The Office (UK) filmed?

The Office (UK) was filmed at Teddington Studios. The production used an office space at the historic television-studio complex in Teddington, London, rather than BBC Television Centre, Pinewood Studios or Elstree Studios.

The choice suited the programme’s deliberately ordinary setting. Much of the sitcom takes place inside the Slough branch of the fictional paper company Wernham Hogg, so the production needed a practical office environment that could be dressed as a workplace. The studio location helped the crew control the layout while maintaining the show’s documentary-like appearance.

The Office used a single-camera setup and no laughter track, techniques that helped create its awkward, observational style. Although the story is set in Slough, the fictional branch itself was not filmed in a real Slough office. This distinction is a frequent source of confusion.

Teddington Studios had a long history in British television and film, hosting productions for companies including ABC Weekend TV and Thames Television. The complex was later demolished in 2016, with the site redeveloped for housing.
