In which Salford development has the British programme Dragons' Den been filmed since 2010?

The story behind the answer

Since 2010, the British programme Dragons' Den has been filmed at MediaCityUK in Salford.

MediaCityUK is a major media and digital complex in Greater Manchester, built at the former Manchester Docks in Salford. The development contains production facilities, offices and studios used by broadcasters and other media organizations. Its location made it a prominent northern counterpart to London's traditional television hubs.

Dragons' Den moved production there in 2010, linking the programme with the rapidly expanding creative cluster around the waterfront. The move is sometimes described simply as a move to Manchester, but MediaCityUK is in Salford, the neighboring city within Greater Manchester.

The programme's on-screen concept is not tied to a single city: entrepreneurs from across the United Kingdom can pitch to the panel. The studio location identifies where production takes place, rather than where the featured businesses must be based.
