Where We Film in London

Filming in London

Our London-based video crew serves the entire Greater London area, from the financial giants in Canary Wharf and the City to massive trade shows at ExCeL London. Because our team is local, we handle all Film London permits and logistics for you, saving you the cost of flying in a crew. We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Birmingham and Bristol.

Venues We Film At in London

We film at London's leading event venues, from the sprawling halls of ExCeL to boutique conference spaces across the City. Our crews know the unique challenges of each space—parking, permits, power, lighting—and arrive prepped.

  • ExCeL London Convention Centre

    Large exhibition and convention centre in London's Royal Docks, with roughly 100,000 sq m of event space.

    View our work here
  • Olympia Exhibition Centre

    Historic exhibition and events venue on Hammersmith Road in West London (W14), whose spaces include the Grand Hall, National Hall and Olympia West.

    View our work here
  • London Hilton on Park Lane

    The London Hilton on Park Lane has a Grand Ballroom of 944 sq m that the hotel says holds up to 1,250 guests and can be divided into sections.

    View our work here
  • The Savoy

    The Savoy is a luxury hotel in central London whose largest event room, the Lancaster Ballroom, measures 476 sq m.

    View our work here
  • Tower Bridge

    Tower Bridge hires out its high-level Walkways and Victorian Engine Rooms for private evening events, and its North Tower Lounge for smaller daytime functions.

    View our work here

Producer’s Note:

London's variable weather and notoriously heavy traffic mean our crews always build in robust travel buffers and carry high-output Aputure lighting to match unpredictable window light. For massive summits at ExCeL London, we utilize localized wireless audio frequencies to guarantee crystal-clear sound amidst the heavy interference of international trade show crowds.

Filming in London

What to know before you shoot in London

Filming permits and public-space rules

London has no single filming permit. Film London explains that each of the 33 boroughs has its own Borough Film Service, which handles local authority sites such as streets, estates, town halls and leisure centres. Private locations are cleared with the owner, and some places with public access are run by separate managing agencies. A vox pop that crosses a borough boundary can therefore involve two sets of rules.

The most useful threshold for event teams is the small crew. Film London defines this as five or fewer people, including participants and actors. With a handheld camera and no obstruction, there is no restriction on the public highway and no Notice is needed, although Film London strongly recommends telling the relevant Borough Film Service anyway. Tripods are where it changes: some boroughs extend the small crew position to a tripod, but all crews using one in Westminster or the City of London must obtain a Notice of No Objection. Not every borough offers these Notices. Where they do, some are free and others cost between 25 and 100 pounds.

Film London says public liability insurance is required for all filming, and you need proof of it to get permission. These rules change, so confirm them with the borough before a shoot.

  • Always need filming permission, according to Film London: The Royal Parks, Trafalgar Square, Parliament Square, The South Bank, canal and river pathways, and train and Tube stations.
  • Red-route roads are not managed by the boroughs, so those requests go to Transport for London.
  • TfL treats its networks as private property. Filming on the Underground, Overground, DLR or Elizabeth line needs a licence and permit, plus at least 10 million pounds of insurance in the applicant's name and a site-specific risk assessment.
  • The Royal Parks says requests with less than 5 days' notice cannot be guaranteed. Using images of the parks commercially also requires an application.

Drone rules

UK rules are set by the Civil Aviation Authority rather than the EU, so an EU drone certificate should not be assumed to settle the question. The March 2026 Drone and Model Aircraft Code sets a 120m height limit and bans flying over crowds, which it defines as any group of people who cannot move away quickly. Most airports and airfields have a flight restriction zone that you cannot enter without their permission. NATS publishes a map, but the Code warns that some short-notice restrictions do not appear on it.

Dense London work is the hard case. Larger drones must stay at least 150m from residential, recreational, commercial and industrial areas, which rules out most of the inner city. Drones under 250g, and those with UK0, UK1 or C0 class marks, may fly in those areas, as may C1 drones until 31 December 2027, but you must not fly over uninvolved people. Permission is also needed from the owner of the land you take off from. Film London lists drone filming among the things that may need permission, and The Royal Parks asks applicants to declare any drone use. Check the latest Code before planning a flight.

The business event calendar and districts

London's B2B calendar is split between two very different sites. ExCeL sits on Royal Victoria Dock in the east, while Olympia is in west London. The first full week of June 2027 shows how the two can collide: Infosecurity Europe runs at ExCeL from 8 to 10 June, and London Tech Week has its expo and stages at Olympia from 7 to 9 June, with fringe events across the city until 11 June. A team covering both should plan them as separate shoots, because of the distance and because fringe sessions can bring a third or fourth venue into the schedule.

Infosecurity draws security leaders, buyers and channel partners, which suits interview and testimonial capture. Olympia's listings show a broader trade mix, including Top Drawer, MPTS and Best Practice London, in spaces including the Grand Hall, National Hall and the International Convention Centre. Dates move, so check with the organiser.

Practical logistics

ExCeL is long, and that affects call times. Custom House, on the Elizabeth line and DLR, is about 200m from the West Entrance, and Prince Regent DLR is about 200m from the East Entrance, but walking between the two stations through the venue is about 1km. Tell your crew which end your stand or stage is at before they travel.

Being inside a show does not settle permissions. ExCeL's filming terms define the venue to include the building, the surrounding land, the dock edge and the water. They limit filming under that agreement to handheld or tripod-mounted cameras, set default access at 09:00 to 18:00 unless other times are agreed, and bar obstructing other people or events. ExCeL's exhibitor manual says permission is needed to film anywhere on the estate, asks for an application with up to three working days for review, and warns that security may ask crew to show the form and ID. At Olympia, ask the show team early about what the venue and organiser require.

  • Budget time for the Notice route if a tripod shot outside the venue is on your list and the location falls in Westminster or the City.
  • Carry the insurance certificate on the day, since permissions depend on it.
  • For anything on TfL property, allow for a script or brief, the insurance certificate and the risk assessment. TfL says it cannot process an application without them.

  1. 01

    Footage Log

    Every clip from the shoot, organised and labelled, with the whole log searchable - and every clip transcribed, so you can find the moment someone said the thing by typing what they said. No scrubbing through hours of rushes.
