Where was Wonka filmed? The city and all the real filming locations

The town's harbor was filmed in The Cobb at Lyme Regis, at the wall and breakwater that protect the ships in this charming coastal town in Dorset.

This curved stone structure has served as a harbor for centuries and is noted for its appearance in literature, notably Jane Austen's novel Persuasion and John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman.

The main square with the fountain was a set built at Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire.

The archway is inspired by the Gros Horloge in Rouen, France, a large astronomical clock housed in a Renaissance arch (lower pic).

The studio is famous for its association with the Harry Potter film series, although many other productions were based there, including several James Bond films and The Dark Knight trilogy.

The glass-roofed Galeries Gourmet were also built at the studios, but they seem to have been inspired by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade in Milan, Italy (lower picture), or the Leadenhall Market in the City of London.

Fantastic Beasts 2, which was also filmed at Leavesden Studios, featured a very similar set. Perhaps the filmmakers recycled a few props!

The gorgeous roof appears to be modeled after Le Grand Palais on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, shown below in a screenshot from Mission: Impossible Fallout.

Le Grand Palais is a historic exhibition hall and museum complex built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) to showcase French art and architecture.

However, some of the city street scenes were filmed on Bath Street in Bath, Somerset.

This colonnaded street is part of the city's historic center, lined with elegant Georgian buildings, many of which house shops, restaurants, cafes, and boutique hotels.

The scene where Wonka goes down the stairs and there is a dark covered passageway with columns was filmed in The Parade Gardens in Bath.

This park is a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city, overlooking the River Avon and Pulteney Bridge.

Wonka's city clock tower is inspired by the iconic Powder Gate Gothic tower (Prašná brána) in Prague, Czech Republic.

Built in the 15th century as one of the city's defensive towers, this stunning monument stands as one of the original 13 entrances to Prague's Old Town.

Rowan Atkinson plays the chocoholic priest Father Julius, a chocoholic priest who keeps a large stash of chocolate under the city's cathedral.

The interior of the church was filmed at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, the 17th century Baroque wonder located in the heart of the city.

As the BBC reported, the scenes in and around the zoo were filmed at the Verulamium Park in St. Albans, Hertfordshire.

A set was also built on Abbey Mill Lane, near the Ye Olde Fighting Cocks pub.

All the buildings in the background were added to the scene via CGI.

A very short scene during Abacus' backstory includes the Great Gateway of the Monastery, also in St. Albans.

Arthur Slugworth's house interior was filmed at Eltham Palace in London.

Originally a medieval royal residence, this magnificent estate underwent significant changes in the 1930s when a luxurious and innovative Art Deco mansion was built on the palace grounds.

The awe-inspiring architecture of Oxford, the so-called city of dreaming spires, provided the perfect backdrop for some outdoor scenes.

The giraffe almost lost its head in Hertford College's Bridge of Sighs in New College Lane.

More inspirations: the multi-domed building to the right of the cathedral has the same domes as the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, located across the street from the famous Casino of Monaco.

Towards the end of the film, there is a key scene recorded in the Radcliffe Camera, also in Oxford.

This outstanding 18th-century circular building serves as a reading room for the Bodleian Library of Oxford University.

The Bodiam Castle is a spectacular and well-preserved medieval fortress in East Sussex.

Featuring a quadrangular layout and moat, this 14th century fortress is renowned for its picturesque setting and classic design, making it one of the most famous and romanticized castles in England.
