‘Legends of Tomorrow’ is the TV equivalent of an Avengers-style ensemble superhero series. It revolves around several characters from the “Arrowverse” which includes ‘Arrow,’ ‘The Flash’ and ‘Supergirl.’

Legends of Tomorrow Filming Locations

Many of you might be wondering where ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ is filmed. The show is set in the Arrowverse, and other than the characters, several fictional places that have appeared on these shows also appear in ‘Legends of Tomorrow,’ including Star City.

Vancouver, British Columbia

Like most of the ‘Arrowverse’ shows, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ is primarily shot in and around Vancouver, British Columbia. The city has become somewhat of a hotspot when it comes to filming Hollywood productions. A few reasons for producers opting to shoot movies and television series there include its relative proximity to the United States and generous tax credits offered by the Canadian government. As of October 2018, more than 30 television series were being filmed in Vancouver.

Most of the filming for ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ takes place on location in British Columbia, Canada. The scenes set on the fictional Waverider, a time-travelling “spaceship” are some of the few scenes set on a soundstage. Here is a rundown of most of the actual locations that have appeared on the show.

Firstly, a lot of the interior shots for ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ are filmed at The Ironworks facility in Vancouver. Featuring large open spaces and remains of an old ironwork, the facility is designated for filming purposes. It was used to film Kendra and Carter’s Apartment in the pilot, the Memphis Bar and a Music Shop in the fourteenth episode of the third season, Mari’s apartment in the sixteenth episode of the third season, and Constantine’s apartment in the seventh episode, of the fourth season.

Furthermore, a few scenes of the show were shot on the Segal Graduate School of Business rooftop. The college is located in Vancouver, British Columbia and was seen when Rip Hunter was introduced for the first time. Moving on, Stave Falls Dam in British Columbia was used to film a fight scene.
