The IT Crowd lives in a basement, and that’s rather the point: Roy, Moss and Jen work below a gleaming corporate tower in a windowless dungeon full of unplugged servers and unanswered phones. That basement was a studio set, filmed in front of an audience in London – but the shining tower above it is real.
Where was The IT Crowd filmed?
The IT Crowd was made in London, recorded in front of a studio audience at Teddington Studios in south-west London, with the exterior of Reynholm Industries provided by a real London office building near the docks.
As a classic multi-camera sitcom, most of the show is studio-bound – the basement, the offices, the lift – with just a handful of real locations tying it to the city.
Every IT Crowd location, explained
Teddington Studios – the basement and offices
The IT department’s basement, the Reynholm Industries offices and the show’s interiors were built at Teddington Studios in Teddington, south-west London, where the series was recorded before a live audience.
Reynholm Industries – the corporate tower
The imposing headquarters looming above the basement is a real building: the exterior of Reynholm Industries was shot at Thomas More Square in Wapping, east London, near the river.
Planning a visit
Thomas More Square in Wapping is a real, walkable London office plaza close to St Katharine Docks and the Tower of London – the nearest you can get to standing beneath Reynholm Industries. Teddington Studios, long a home of British comedy, sits further west along the Thames.
