Where was Charmed filmed?

The first time the third sister, Macy, appears in the Pilot episode is three months after Marisol’s passing. She’s walking with Galvin (Ser'Darius Blain) around the neighborhood of Hilltowne, where she just moved into when a house caught her eye.

With a surprised look, she says, “That house,” referring to the Vera Manor, where her mother, whom she never saw, died. You’ll also see an evening shot of the house as Macy and Maggie head out for the night at the beginning of the episode before their mother’s death.

If you think the Vera House looks familiar, that’s because they used the James & Elizabeth Phillips Home for those exterior shots. It’s located at 323 Queens Avenue, situated at the corner of Fourth St. and Queens Ave. in New Westminster, BC, Canada. It’s one of the country’s Historic Places, revered for its association with the early periods of Queen’s Park Victorian-era development.

Visiting the residence will allow you access to other TV shows and movie locations, including the Friendship Gardens & Tipperary Park, just a short walk from the house. There are several bus stops nearby, allowing you to get to the residence quickly and conveniently. You can take bus 105 with a stop at Queen's avenue.

Harry is an essential character in the show, so you’ll see him throughout the series. Interestingly, his first encounter with one of the sisters, Mel, isn’t as pleasant as he probably hoped. In the early parts of the Pilot episode, Mel is hanging posters in the school hallway when Harry, the new chairman of the Women’s Studies Department, approaches her.

Mel doesn’t hide her displeasure with the new head of the department, who replaced her mother. According to her, him replacing her mother is only “the fifth reason she doesn’t like him.” But Harry knows more about her than he’s letting on.

The Chemistry Building provided a setting for this and other scenes in Charmed. It’s one of the buildings at the University of British Columbia, which is one of the key locations in the series, especially in the first season. Whether you’re planning to study here or simply going on a filming tour, UBC offers free and friendly tours for groups and individuals visiting the campus.

The Vancouver campus provides an array of entertainment and sights, from sports, culture, and arts to recreation and natural beauty you can explore. It is home to the Museum of Anthropology, the Pacific Museum of Earth, UBC Botanical Garden, Greenheart Tree Walk, and other attractions, like galleries and even a beach. It’s also a great place to mingle, meet new people, attend events, and many more.

You can get to the university campus by bike, car, or bus, but public transportation is highly recommended. It is cheap, easy, and efficient. The 44, 84, 99, and R4 express buses run directly to the campus, and you can also take your bike on transit.

In an attempt to “find her zen” and some serenity in the season one Kappa Spirit episode, Lucy (Natalie Hall) decides to meditate. While grabbing some candles, she finds a unique candle holder inside the Kappa house and uses it for her meditation. But after lighting the candle and before she even gets deeper into meditation, she accidentally releases the ghost of a former Kappa member, Brenda (McKaley Miller).

Pay close attention to this scene, and you’ll notice a unique feature behind Lucy, which sets the mood of this sequence. If you’re familiar with this den, that’s because it’s been used in numerous shows and movies.

Provided the setting for this scene is the historic Casa Mia mansion in Vancouver. It was built in 1932, boasting eight bedrooms, an outdoor pool, enormous windows, vaulted ceilings, elaborate woodwork, a ballroom, and a well-maintained garden. It celebrated the charm and splendor of Spanish architecture, so it’s not surprising that it’s a beloved filming location for Charmed and other productions.

Today, Casa Mia is expanded and converted into a care home with 90 beds for seniors, including 32 private-pay and 58 publicly-funded beds. However, some of the most cherished features of the property will be preserved, including the elegant main rooms and basement areas.

In the Out of Scythe episode of season one, with a glass and a bottle of wine on hand, Maggie visits Parker (Nick Hargrove) at the frat house only to see him injecting himself with a drug in his room. “This is your big secret?” she asks with accusations and disappointment in her voice and then rushes out of the room.

Cecil Green Park House serves as the setting for the Phi Delta Upsilon house used in this scene. It’s a stunning old-world mansion surrounded by lush gardens and set by the sea. It serves as a glorious venue for weddings, meetings, and special events, delivering a flexible space and private setting for different occasions.

It is situated on the University of British Columbia campus, offering an array of impressive facilities for meetings, parties, and personal celebrations. It is accessible via car, taxi, or bus and is within walking distance from major attractions in Vancouver.

Mel and Harry return to the facility in the season two Sudden Death episode, where the Darklighter was keeping the creatures, hoping to get a clue to its location. However, they seem to be “at the dead end,” as Mel points out.

This scene was recorded inside the abandoned Molson Brewery at Burrard St. in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The brewery manufactured beer in the city for decades until it was sold in 2019. It became a famous production location for several shows and films over the years.

However, it will become a site for Quantum Park, an inclusive and vibrant condo development in Vancouver. It is close to several historical landmarks, including the Seaforth Armoury, and is accessible by public transit.

The Safe Space episode in the second season takes The Charmed Ones to a different location through a portal. The magical doorway appears when a mysterious hooded assassin attacks them and destroys the Book of Shadows, leaving Harry with the villain.

The sisters end up in what looks like a lair, and behind its door is the SafeSpace Seattle, “the premier communal workspace,” as the tour guide, Swan (Christin Park), describes. It's like any other co-working space, with desks, chairs, and even a café and shop. But nothing seems ordinary in this place, as they find themselves unable to use their powers.

The entire site looks like a massive warehouse. That’s because the building where the filmmakers captured this scene was initially built as a supply warehouse in 1886. Later, it was used as a city hall, jail, and morgue after what’s now known as the Great Vancouver Fire that destroyed the city on June 13 of the same year.

In 1997, the building was restored and structurally upgraded, turning it into The Warehouse Studio. It’s a multi-media recording facility and a spacious photography studio with large loft spaces complete with materials and equipment, like recorders, tape machines, monitors, video displays, and more. It also has rooms for hair and makeup, a large bathroom, workstations, a wardrobe, etc.

You can take a tour and check out the site. It is on Powell St and within walking distance of several shopping areas, stores, and bus stops. Take bus 050 with routes that pass by the studio. But line 019 is usually the cheapest way to get to The Warehouse Studio from Vancouver and takes only eight minutes.
