For a big city vibe, check out the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas East Street. This public square is spacious and filled with energy. With its futuristic look, the Toronto City Hall boasts striking urban architecture for amazing open-air shoots. With its rows of comfortable rows of homes and stores, Danforth Avenue, known locally as ‘The Danforth’ offers a perfect city neighborhood look. The Distillery District is another great city location and offers an urban atmosphere that can mimic anywhere from New York to LA. Local restaurants and cafes are also popular choices as are stately residences such as La Belle Mansion or Casa Loma.
You will need to apply for a permit if you are planning on shooting with a large crew. Unlike other locations, Toronto does not charge for the film permit, but you will be expected to cover the cost of insurance and other additional services such as parking, garbage removal, etc. If you are filming on private property you must request approval before applying for the permit. If you have a small crew of only 2 or 3, you will not need a permit. However, it is best to notify management if you are shooting in buildings or other locations.
As Canada’s largest city, Toronto offers all types of spaces you can use for your film location. You can browse through various professional studios in the city, prepared to take in a filming crew, or look for spaces that have been used as a filming location before. Depending on your needs, you can look for cozy lofts, artistic and modern galleries, or multi-purpose spaces. Many of the cafes, restaurants and other venues will also gladly become your filming spot.

10 Things to Ask When Choosing a Filming Locations
- Is location really that important?
Absolutely. The right setting enhances storytelling and supports your visual tone. Use a completed script or shot list to guide your search. - How do I stay on budget?
Decide on your budget before you fall in love with a location. Compare hourly or daily rental rates, and factor in any extras like parking or security. - How do I start scouting?
Use online platforms (like Tagvenue) to shortlist venues based on style, size, and equipment. Check forums, film commissions, and even Instagram for ideas. - Should I visit in person?
Yes—photos don’t tell the full story. Visit with your camera and shot list to check lighting, sound levels, and general ambiance. - What if I don’t like anything I’ve found?
Explore nearby areas on foot. Many great filming spots are just around the corner from the obvious ones. - What do I bring to a location visit?
A camera, notebook, and your shot board. Take photos or videos to visualize the space through your lens. - Can I shoot all my scenes here?
Match your script to the location’s features—don’t assume you’ll “make it work.” Make sure the location supports every shot you need. - Are my technical needs covered?
Check for:
- Power outlets
- Space for gear and crew
- Load-in access
- Safety for cast and equipment
- When should I scout the location?
At the same time of day as your planned shoot. Check lighting conditions, background noise, traffic, and any potential interruptions. - Found the spot. Can I start filming?
Not so fast.
- Get written permission (for private property)
- Secure permits (for public spaces)
- Make sure you have sufficient liability insurance
- Notify local authorities if you’ll affect traffic or noise levels

Verified Reviews of Filming Locations in Toronto, ON
I liked the open communication, the honesty and similarity with what we were advertised. I also like how easily we were able negotiate any unexpected changes to adhere to our desires.
Really smooth booking experience. The venue was great. Professional, clean, we showed up and everything was ready to go.
- Great communication from Bill. - Extremely accommodating even though we were running late. - It's a double door, sound insulated room with a great acoustic, no bleed from elsewhere. - Had a minor technical at the start, but it was fixed very promptly and the audio sounds fantastic.
The hosts were very communicative, providing a video on all the specifics of the space: alarm,lighting, speakers etc. An excellent experience, would rent again.
My go-to spot for recording. I’m a regular here and they never miss! The crew is top-notch, Dylan is super organized, and the studio set looks even better than the photos (yes, that good!). 10/10 - always a great experience.
Great space with lots of options and backdrops. Nice bright windows that can also be covered with shades. Super helpful host. Extra equipment if needed.
