Primary Studio Filming Locations
Much of House of the Dragon is filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, England. The production uses large soundstages and backlot sets to build interiors and controlled environments for key scenes in King’s Landing and other major locations.
On-Location Filming Sites
Exterior scenes are shot across several real locations in the United Kingdom. The production has filmed in areas including Surrey, Cornwall, and other parts of southern England to capture landscapes that stand in for Westeros. Additional filming has taken place in Spain, with the Canary Islands used for desert and coastal exteriors.
For more details on specific filming spots, you can check the official production notes on the HBO Max website HBO Max.
Why These Locations Matter
The combination of studio work and on-location shooting helps create the look and scale of the Targaryen world. Leavesden provides controlled sets, while real landscapes add texture and realism to exterior sequences.
