About this location
Cochrane Street runs between George Square and the Merchant City in Glasgow’s city centre, passing the City Chambers on its southern side and bordered by other Victorian civic buildings. The street is short but densely characterised — the scale and material quality of the surrounding institutional architecture give it a significant presence for its length. Reddit posts from Glasgow in 2025 documented filming on Cochrane Street, noting it as another production in the Glasgow city centre — the sub-thread mentioned Montrose Street and John Street as adjacent filming areas in the same production, suggesting a wider city centre shoot using the civic architecture. Glasgow’s dense Victorian commercial and civic streetscape around George Square and the Merchant City is regularly used as a flexible period urban backdrop. Glasgow Film Office handles permit applications. The city’s Georgian and Victorian architecture — predominantly blonde sandstone — reads differently from London or Manchester, making it recognisably Glasgow or generically northern European.
