When the world ground to a halt during covid, it seemed that the film industry – along with many other industries – would never fully recover. Thankfully, that was not the case and filmmaking has come back to life with a boom. So we are delighted to see London’s newest state-of-the-art studios – London North Studios – going from strength to strength since opening.
London North Studios is a production, rehearsal and event space based in the quiet and sought after North London base of Mill Hill. Comprising multiple studios and a range of brand new facilities for every production need, London North Studios has seen TV Series for BBC, Netflix and Sky being filmed there in the past 8 months. It is certainly getting a reputation as one of the best and most well-equipped studios in London.
State-of-the-art Facilities
The film studios boasts workshops, maintenance bays with compressors, pits, paint shops, wracked storage rooms, 18 hair & make up rooms/costume rooms, plus a hair salon, 80,000+ sq. ft of production offices. Formerly the HQ of Jehovah’s Witnesses HQ has been transformed and has had success since it opened as a TV and film hub. Within the 200,00 sq ft lot, there is a 300-person dining hall, with executive dining rooms, and a commercial kitchen.
The studio building has multiple vehicle access points throughout with ample parking spaces for cars and a further large parking area for Winnebagos, articulated trucks and action vehicles. There is also an underground car park to accommodate smaller vehicles. The site covers nearly 5 acres and includes its own private woodland.
It can cater for both small and feature scale productions and can ensure all production needs are met.
London North Studios’ major selling points are that it has 7 studios on site, which range from 2,850 sq ft all the way up to 13,700 sq ft and also includes 100,000 sq ft of plug and play production offices. And since there is a desired need for studio space right now, this really delivers everything you need.
