On which trading estate is Wernham Hogg's Slough branch located?

Wernham Hogg’s Slough branch is located on the Slough Trading Estate.

The fictional paper merchant is the workplace at the centre of the British mockumentary sitcom, with David Brent managing its Slough branch. The estate gives the series a distinctly ordinary, industrial setting that contrasts with Brent’s belief that he is a charismatic business celebrity.

The Slough Trading Estate is a real business district in Slough, Berkshire, and is one of Europe’s largest industrial estates. The programme uses the location as part of its deliberately mundane atmosphere, although the office interiors were filmed elsewhere rather than functioning as a permanent real Wernham Hogg branch.

A common mix-up is to confuse the setting with the American adaptation, which takes place at Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in Pennsylvania. Trafford Park and Team Valley Estate are also real trading or industrial locations, but they are not the setting of the UK series.
