Where is Two Doors Down filmed?

Most of Two Doors Down is filmed at the BBC's Dumbarton Studios in Glasgow, but some of the show is also filmed in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

In 2019, between series three and four, Two Doors Down was forced to move filming from Bowmont Hill, Bishopbriggs to Hamilton after a stand-off between production staff and a local resident that resulted in the police being called.

A source told the Scottish Sun after the incident: "Tensions first started to rise during filming for the second series.

"Alistair [the resident] accused the BBC crew of dumping a load of rubbish from a wheelbarrow into a field at the bottom of the street. He claimed the TV guys said they would return to remove it, but never did."

Following the move and filming of the fourth series, a BBC Scotland spokeswoman told the Daily Record: "The bulk of Two Doors Down is filmed at Dumbarton Studios. For series four, we have filmed the brief external shots in Hamilton, for various logistical reasons."

She added: "Latimer Crescent is a fictional suburban street so we chose a location which could reflect that, and could also accommodate filming for a week with cast and crew there. The neighbours were very welcoming and the street looks perfect on screen.”

Dumbarton Studios is 18,000 sq ft, and is located within 30 minutes of central Glasgow and 20 minutes from Glasgow Airport. Other productions that are part of Dumbarton Studios include Still Game, Shetland and Vigil.
