The Office Filming Locations in Los Angeles and Scranton

Kara dressed as Dwight Schrute and me dressed as Jim Halpert in front of the Dunder Mifflin office building in Panorama City.
If you haven’t guessed it by now, I am a huge fan of the TV show The Office - as evidenced by this massive guide you’re about to read. My friends and I decided to completely geek out on a trip to Los Angeles and dress up as our favorite The Office characters while we went on a self-guided tour to many of the filming locations in Southern California. I was dressed as “3-hole-punch Jim”, Kara was Dwight and Brianna was Kelly.
The Office show takes places in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but in reality most of the show is filmed in Los Angeles. The most commonly used cities for filming locations is Van Nuys, Panorama City and Studio City - which are commonly known as “The Valley” to LA locals.
It can be tricky to find the exact addresses to the filming locations, but don’t fret because I’ve done all the research for you.
Also, if you listen to the Office Ladies Podcast by Jenna Fischer (who plays Pam Beesly) and Angela Kinsey (who plays Angela Martin), they reveal many of The Office film locations and they provide all kinds of insider info on the show for fans.
Finally, for all The Office fans, you can shop my huge Etsy collection of The Office fan gear including mugs, t-shirts, graphic art and more. Etsy is where my husband purchased my blue Dunder Mifflin coffee mug that you’ll see in the photos in this blog post.
