The series is set in suburban London and follows a similar house structure, according to an Express UK article. The locality and the environment for the series too have been modelled to replicate actual suburban houses. The show is actually set in London and the shots taken during the series episodes are real ones that the makers initially took. However, the show does not have any real locations and is shot entirely at the BBC studios in London. Different stages are used for various sets throughout the series. This would mean that actors often move from one set location to another to film particular scenes in that setup or environment. Right from the houses to the coffee shops, all of it has been a part of set design and has been shot at the BBC studios in London.

One interesting aspect of shooting Not Going Out is that the laugh track is authentic. The makers of the show build a set in such a way that a live audience is allowed on set to watch the actors perform live. Therefore, often when certain laugh tracks are played, it is the real laughter of the audiences from the set, according to Express UK. The audiences gather around to watch the show and often even watch pre-recorded scenes from the show. This helps the creators gain an original laugh track and also helps them work on their writing material. The audiences thus deliver genuine laughter while watching pre-recorded and live scenes.
