Filming for Privet Drive in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone" took place in a real urban area, 12 Picket Post Close, Bracknell in Berkshire, located 25 miles (40 km) west of London. For all the subsequent film's scenes set in Privet Drive, filming took place on a constructed set in Leavesden Film Studios (replicating 12 Picket Post Close), which proved to be cheaper than filming on location. This standing set, which remained in use throughout the decade-long filming history of the Harry Potter films, remains visible in Google Maps aerial views of the studio. It sits in a location with other "Harry Potter" sets and props.
