Question 1

Can you film in the Royal Parks (e.g., Hyde Park)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires planning. Royal Parks permits cost £250-£1,500 depending on location and crew size, and typically take 4-6 weeks to approve. Our London team has facilitated 40+ shoots in Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and St. James's Park. For commercial projects, we recommend building 6-8 weeks into your timeline. We handle the permit application and liaise with park management. Non-commercial social content can often be shot without permits, though location scouts still advise checking current restrictions.

Question 2

Do you have experience filming on the Tube?

Accepted Answer

Transport for London (TfL) has strict rules about filming in stations and on trains. Commercial filming requires permits (typically £500-£2,000) and specific operating hours. We've produced videos for tech companies showcasing Tube advertising placements, but we don't typically film passengers or operations without TfL authorization. Alternative: we often recommend using the London Film Office as an intermediary. For corporate videos that reference London transport, we can film relevant exterior shots and use archive footage or animation instead.

Question 3

Are your crews based in Central London?

Accepted Answer

Our core team is based in zones 1-2, which means faster response times for central shoots. That said, we also work across Greater London (zones 3-6) regularly—we've shot in Canary Wharf (Isle of Dogs), Croydon's growing tech hub, and Stratford's creative spaces. Our 5.5-hour average response time applies whether you're in Westminster or Wandsworth. Travel time is factored into our quotes, so there's no premium for outer-zone shoots.

Question 4

Can you film at iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge?

Accepted Answer

Tower Bridge filming is possible but regulated. The bridge authority allows still photography freely but requires permits for commercial video (£400-£1,500). Background filming from public riverside areas (South Bank, North Bank) is generally permitted without permits. We've filmed dozens of corporate videos using Tower Bridge as a visual backdrop from public vantage points. For close-ups or exclusive access, we can coordinate with the bridge authority, though timelines extend to 6-8 weeks.

Question 5

Do you offer drone videography?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our drone operators are CAA-certified and our drones are fully insured. London airspace restrictions apply: no flights within 5km of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, or City Airport without special clearance. Central London has additional restrictions near Parliament and other government buildings. We conduct airspace checks for every shoot. Drone footage typically adds 1-2 days to a project timeline. Costs range from £800-£3,000 depending on location complexity and footage duration.

Question 6

Do you have experience filming on the Tube?

Accepted Answer

We can arrange filming on the London Underground, but it requires a permit from Transport for London (TfL) and is restricted to off-peak hours or specific locations. For simpler shoots, we often suggest using the DLR for great moving city shots without the same level of restriction. Our London-based video crew has the experience, equipment, and local relationships to execute complex productions throughout London and the surrounding UK region. We know the best filming locations, understand local permit requirements, and can coordinate seamlessly with London authorities. From corporate videos to commercials, we bring professional production expertise to every project filmed in London.

Question 7

Are your crews based in Central London?

Accepted Answer

Our crews are located across Greater London, allowing us to deploy quickly to The City, Canary Wharf, or the West End. This distributed network helps us navigate London traffic efficiently to arrive on time. Our London-based production team is fully equipped to handle your video production needs. We bring professional expertise, local knowledge, and established relationships throughout London to ensure seamless execution. Whether you're filming in London's urban areas, landmarks, or surrounding regions, we deliver professional results that exceed industry standards.

Question 8

Can you film at iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge?

Accepted Answer

We can film b-roll of Tower Bridge from public property. However, setting up a tripod on the bridge itself or private riverside property (like More London) requires permits which we can secure for you. Our London-based video crew has the experience, equipment, and local relationships to execute complex productions throughout London and the surrounding UK region. We know the best filming locations, understand local permit requirements, and can coordinate seamlessly with London authorities. From corporate videos to commercials, we bring professional production expertise to every project filmed in London.

Question 9

Do you offer drone videography?

Accepted Answer

Flying drones in Central London is heavily restricted (EGR 160). We work with CAA-licensed pilots who have special permissions (OSC) to fly in certain congested areas, or we can suggest locations further out like Greenwich Park for skyline views. Our London-based drone pilots are fully licensed and comply with all UK aviation regulations. We understand London's airspace restrictions, no-fly zones, and permit requirements. We can deliver stunning aerial videography of London's landmarks and landscapes while ensuring complete regulatory compliance for your production.

Question 10

Do you have a teleprompter available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can provide a professional teleprompter and operator. This is essential for CEOs or government officials who need to deliver scripted messages precisely in a busy environment. Our London production team provides professional teleprompter equipment and experienced operators for all your video shoots. Whether you're filming executive interviews, corporate videos, or commercials in London, our teleprompter service ensures polished, scripted delivery. We've supported countless productions throughout London requiring professional on-camera talent support.
