A location that you just know you've seen in five other TV shows or movies.
Filming at a landmark is a separate trope when the scene is supposed to take place at that specific landmark (e.g. the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, famous courthouses), but it counts here when a landmark is used generically (e.g. any Vancouver landmark).
Sub-Trope of California Doubling. Kirk's Rock might be the single most-used That Place in American television, with Down L.A. Drain as another very famous local. The various BBC Quarries serve a similar role in the UK. See also Recycled Set.

Hatley Castle/Royal Roads University, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, has featured in numerous films; The X-Men franchise and Masterminds are among the better-known titles. Other Victoria landmarks seen or at least used include Fan Tan Alley (seen in Bird on a Wire), and the Royal British Columbia Museum (which hosted an episode of MacGyver).

Old Tucson Studios. Built initially for the movie Arizona in 1939, its buildings were used as the sets of countless Western television shows and movies, including episodes of Gunsmoke, Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza, and Have Gun – Will Travel. It is also a tourist attraction, though most of the original sets were lost in a fire.

The house from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was used briefly in the first Charlie's Angels movie. This was the scene where Drew Barrymore's character falls naked from her house.note Barrymore appeared in both movies, but the naked scene referred to was in the latter; in ET she was still in elementary school.

Walthamstow Town Hall and the neighbouring Assembly Hall in north London are the UK's stock location for a large inter-war building due to the art deco exterior and surviving 1930s interiors. Notable appearances include many different fictional locations in Poirot, the exterior of the hotel in Misfits series two part six, and the exterior of the Reichskanzlerei and the Nazi nightclub in the Doctor Who episode "Let's Kill Hitler". Many recordings of classical music have been made here as well.

The Universal Studios back lot is highly recognizable from Back to the Future, Murder, She Wrote, Remington Steele, and other works. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by a massive fire in June 2008, making its appearance something of a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment.
Colonial Street, on the backlot, made famous as Wisteria Lane in Desperate Housewives, actually first gained cult status as "Mayfield Place" in the Tom Hanks Comedy The 'Burbs. also seen in The Munsters and ''Leave It to Beaver'.

The eponymous Dollhouse of Dollhouse resembles the office of Wolfram & Hart from Angel with a few modifications and a new paint job; the Angel set was refurbished for use in Dollhouse. This is particularly glaring when the characters look down from the top balcony of either show.

The Caltech campus represented its own fictionalized copy, the California Institute of Science ("CalSci"), in NUMB3RS. The older Mediterranean-style buildings on the east and south parts of the campus (especially the faculty club known as the Athenaeum) also appear in a fair number of films and commercials. Ironically, Real Genius (which was also set at a Caltech stand-in) had its outside scenes filmed at Occidental and Pomona; the interiors of buildings and dorms were recreations.

Super Sentai often uses Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Dome. When these appear in Power Rangers, they obviously aren't supposed to be those locations. One notable example is the Power Rangers Zeo episode Rangers of Two Worlds. The Zeo Rangers and Alien Rangers perform their rollcall outside Tokyo Dome... or rather, Angel Grove Stadium. The following season, the Dome was the base for the Rescue Zords and Artillatron.

Tokusatsu fans are familiar with quite a few locations in Japan that seem to be used every year, no matter what the series. This practice goes back to the original Kamen Rider, which prided itself on picking outdoor locations like dams, quarries and coasts for elaborate fight scenes.
