In which city is the BBC's British Dragon's Den primarily filmed?

The story behind the answer

The BBC's British Dragon's Den is primarily filmed in Manchester.

The programme has been associated with Manchester production facilities, although its set represents a stylised investment room rather than a real permanent office where entrepreneurs routinely seek funding. Studio production allows the programme to control sound, lighting, cameras and the separate spaces used for pitches and post-pitch discussion.

Location details can be confusing because the programme is broadcast nationally and entrepreneurs travel from across the United Kingdom and beyond. The business shown in a pitch may be based in a completely different city, while the filming location describes where the television production takes place.

Dragon's Den has also used different studio arrangements over its long history. A change of production facility does not change the programme's format: entrepreneurs still face a panel of investors and must explain their product, valuation and requested deal.
