Why You Should Film in the London Borough

London is one of the most exciting cities in the world – and for good reason! It’s a diverse city, with a mixture of historical landmarks, and privately managed buildings. Filming in London is an amazing experience, and with much diversity, you’re bound to find the right location.

Selection of Famous Places

When you think about London, what comes to mind? For some people, it will be Trafalgar Square, while others might think about the Camden market. Other popular locations include Big Ben, Southwark Bridge, and Buckingham Palace.

No matter what you’re planning to film, London is an incredible location that suits people with a range of budgets. From quaint, typically British town halls and churches, to a range of eclectic bars and restaurants, you’ll enjoy walking the streets of the capital city and giving your viewers the opportunity to enjoy London.

Tower Bridge is another popular location because the Tower of London is where many famous prisoners were held – including Anne Boleyn.

Frequently Asked Questions


Will I need a permit?
London is a friendly city, and in most cases, filming is permitted. You will need to get a permit, but it’s a relatively simple process and the London Borough Film Service will be able to give you the information you need.

It’s important to note that you can film highways, but it’s always best to check in with us and we’ll tell you which areas you’ll need filming permission. You will need to provide proof of your public liability insurance, and Buckingham Palace is off-limits – unless you get special permission.


What about equipment?
London is a busy city, and while the London Underground provides useful transport links, it can be difficult to carry your filming equipment around. We can provide useful solutions, and if you only want to take your camera, we’ll help you to source other equipment.

There are many private rental solutions, so you can rest assured that you’ll have the best equipment for your film.
