Main filming locations

  • Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, England (UK) – Most interior sets, including the Chocolate Room and much of Wonka’s factory, were built and shot on the huge 007 Stage and other soundstages here.
  • Shepperton Studios, Surrey, England (UK) – Additional studio work and interior scenes were also filmed here.
  • Town exteriors in England – Street and town scenes, such as Cherry Street, were shot on the backlot at Pinewood and on location in places like York, High Wycombe, Hatfield House, and Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire (used for Veruca Salt’s mansion exteriors).

International locations

  • Gengenbach, Baden‑Württemberg, Germany – Used to portray parts of Düsseldorf in the film.
  • Buford, Georgia, USA – Featured for some suburban American-style exteriors to give the story a more global feel.
