In addition to the renowned Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, filming for Andor took place all across the UK. There were many outdoor settings used, including Little Marlow in Buckinghamshire, Middle Peak Quarry next to Wirksworth in Derbyshire, Winspit quarry in Dorset, and the Coryton Oil Refinery in Corringham, Essex. In the Disney+ series, a space base was reenacted in the old refinery, which is now a commercial hub. The structures, many of which are older than a century, provide the ideal setting for simulating Empire-era structures.
Additionally, Cruachan Dam in Perthshire, Scotland, which was heavily featured in the show’s promos, and the surrounding Glen Tilt were used for filming. Cleveleys on the Fylde Coast, close to Blackpool and Scotland. Andor’s squads were located close to the Cruachan Dam, close to Glasgow, Scotland, for the sake of the Season 1 plotline.
While the building’s interior and tunnels were utilized for the filming, several artificial sets had to be created from scratch. Many of the series’ scenes—which are meant to occur in isolated, preserved areas of the Empire—were able to be filmed by the Andor crews in these sparsely populated, distant locations.
How was the Crews’ Experience in these Shooting Locations?
According to Diego, the production team worked very hard to get shots on location in areas like Pitlochry, Scotland. The actor said, “We had to go up a mountain for hours to put up one picture in Pitlochry, Scotland. The massive effort is really risky to get there.
For shooting at the neighboring Cruachan Dam in Oban, Scotland, over 500 crew members headed there. He told us that the whole procedure was quite exhausting, but as we can all see in the series, it was well worth it.

In this week’s episode, Mon Mothma made her series debut. Her comeback has been a major component of the advertising for Andor. She is under constant strain, as seen by a dinner party she hosts later in the episode, even though Luthen is pressuring her to send money to the Rebellion despite the danger to her life.
Andor grudgingly decides to join a group of rebels who want to plunder the Empire the night preceding their mission-for a fee-after a short back-and-forth with Luthen. Andor hasn’t faced a conflict as difficult as the one he’s going to have with the Empire, despite the fact that he’s been only motivated by survival instincts up until this point.
