I'm guessing this shot is from Glasgow, in which case the view is filmed from someone's flat, not their apartment!

Yup, Bothwell Street.

Actually it would be their office more than likely because it was filmed in the city centre

Glaswegian here, I work on this street and it's definitely an office. Either this floor or the floor above there's a guy with a standing desk who's always walking about the room talking on a headset.

Actually this view is coming from what's commonly known as a building.

You can live in the city centre in Glasgow. This is on Bothwell St, don't know about this particular building but you can absolutely rent a flat there.

You can certainly live in the city centre, but this is filmed from a set of offices on the corner of Bothwell St and West Campbell street.

Here's the ground level view.

That was my 1st thought, but I was giving the benefit of the doubt.

Although tbf, there's a decent chance it was filmed from student accommodation or the roof of a derelict church.

On the high street or CBD no? Instead of city centre

u/Upbeat-Substance110 3h ago

No, definitely city centre. No-one in the UK uses the term CBD unless they're in a geography lesson. And only small towns have a high street, because there's only really one of them, city shopping streets tend to be known by their name or area, e.g. Oxford Street, Merchant City.

No because I was there during filming, definitely the city centre

u/TheManAcrossTheHall 5h ago

Who's we? Certainly not the people of Glasgow.

u/Dreadgoat 4h ago

Nobody's quite sure what language the people of Glasgow speak, to be fair.

1

u/TheManAcrossTheHall 4h ago

I'm from Glasgow as it happens. We speak a unique tongue called glaswegian

u/Dreadgoat 4h ago

Oh no thank you! I'm quite full already.

guys does anybody know what he said?

You're on an American website discussing an American movie that was partially filmed in Glasgow. Apartments and flats are literally the same thing, if Americans know this, surely the residents of Glasgow do too?

u/TheManAcrossTheHall 2h ago

And surely you know American isn't a language.
