‘Industry’ is a British series set in London in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. It follows a group of young graduates as they compete to land limited job positions at a prestigious investment bank called Pierpoint & Co. The twenty-somethings step into the wide world of possibilities, which doesn’t come without the heavy price one has to pay in the form of time, relationships, or principles.
It is directed by Lena Dunham, a Golden Globe Award winner best known for creating the HBO television series ‘Girls.’ Much like Wall Street in New York, the bustling city of London seems to be the perfect setting for anyone who is out to make a mark in the world of finance. But if you think the show is actually filmed in London, then you are in for a surprise. Let us find out where ‘Industry’ is actually shot!

The skyscrapers, the urban landscape, and the weather may look a lot like London, but it is actually filmed in the city of Cardiff in Wales. Here are the specific locations where the series is actually filmed!
