Most of the scenes were shot at stage 5 of the Warner Bros Ranch in California. These scenes include the guy's apartment of Joey and Chandler, the apartment of Monica where she has lived with Phoebe, Rachel and Chandler (during the end of the series), Ross’s Apartment, and the coffee house “Central Park” among others.

During his interview with Golden Globe, producer Kevin Bright mentioned that, ‘We find that taking the show out of the studio makes it less funny, even when we shoot on the lot outside,’ claiming that even their Thanksgiving episode in Season 3 titled ‘The One with the Football’ was shot on a set.

That said, the cast of Friend have shot various scenes in real-life locations. Once such episode was shot during Ross and Emili’s wedding in London where fans see Joey and Chandler on a Double-decker bus taking a tour across London, along with the St. John’s Church in Wapping, which was going to be the wedding destination for Ross and Emily.
