Where were Ginny and Georgia filmed? Filming locations of the rom-com drama

Ginny and Georgia is a rom-com drama series centered around a complicated mother-daughter relationship. As the title suggests, Georgia Miller is a 30-year-old mother, and Ginny is 15 years old. The duo tries to build a new life in a seemingly perfect fictitious town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts. The show also portrays Ginny dealing with biracial discrimination as she is half Black while her mother is White.

Ginny and Georgia gained popularity among fans, who wondered about the beautiful shooting locations the series portrays. However, it would be surprising to know that the show was barely filmed in America. The charming town we see is actually in Cobourg, a town in Canada, and the film's primary shooting happened in Ontario, Canada, and Toronto, as per the official IMDb page. Let's dive deep into the details about the filming locations of the rom-com drama.

Where were Ginny and Georgia filmed?

As hinted previously, the fictitious town is a small town in Cobourg; the major shooting of the exterior shots happened in Cobourg King Street, located east of Toronto. Exterior shots of Wellsbury High School and the town square were planned in this location for the landscape and vibrant neighborhoods it offers. The town comes with stylized British cafes and is also called the 'Gem of Lake Ontario.'

Interior shots like that of the restaurants and some public buildings in Ginny and Georgia are filmed inside TriBro studio, situated in East York, a district within the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Baby Point is the location in Toronto where we see the new home of Ginny and Georgia.

Ginny's school that appears in the series is actually a vacant place in North York that was earlier used to be a high school. Nelson A. Boylen Collegiate Institute was built in 1966 and ceased to exist in 2016. Since then, the building has been vacant. The school was popular for its diversity in terms of culture, as students from all corners were a part of it.

Here are some particular locations Ginny and Georgia used to create the required world

The Blue Farm Cafe that we see in the show where Ginny finds her new job is The El, which is supposed to be a Spanish restaurant and currently is going through a transformative renovation.

In one of the scenes, Georgia, who desires to fit among the elites, purchases a pricey bag from Roche & Co., while Georgia’s credit card gets declined. The store is a real boutique that plays itself in the series and is situated in Cobourg, Ontario.

The place where the Wellsbury Halloween Festival was shot is Victoria Hall, which is known for its neoclassical architecture and design with a prominent clock tower at the top. The building was deemed unsafe as a result of depreciation in around 1970. The building was, however, renovated and opened in 1983 by a group of people determined to save the historical place. Not just Ginny and Georgia, but many films have used the location for shooting purposes.
