Star Wars: Andor filmed pickups at the Old Bank Of England buildings in Bristol this week… all part of their 60s/70s vibe.

Summary of the article

“Star Wars: Andor” is conducting takeover filming at the Old Bank of England building in Bristol.

The once-abandoned building adds a 70s vibe that fits the show’s aesthetic.

Outstanding British architecture from the 60s/70s was frequently featured in Andor’s footage.

Andor’s final season has been pushed back to 2025, with extended filming underway this week.

Today, Bleeding Cool receives reports that Star Wars: Andor filming pickup trucks in the Old Bank of England building on Wine Street in Bristol, England. The building has been derelict for years and hasn’t had a roof or windows in years, but it has a 70’s vibe inside that seems very appropriate for the show. It was previously used to film the BBC TV show to be human as well as Victims, skins, show trial, and Outlaws.

The buildings that came before the Old Bank of England were bombed in the war and the site was used as a car park until it was leased to the Bank of England in the sixties, who built deep level vaults to store gold bullion under the new buildings . They left in the 1990s and fellow tenant Lloyds Bank left in 2020. The buildings were bought by a property developer who promised a redevelopment plan, but these have been rejected and the building is scheduled to be demolished later this year . So don’t expect this location to return for subsequent seasons Star Wars: Andor. And not just because there are no later seasons of Star Wars: Andor.
