Film and High End TV in the Thames Valley
“Britain’s Thames Valley is a centre for film and television production. It has a long tradition of filmmaking, with world class studios such as Pinewood, together with beautiful and varied locations all within easy reach of London and Heathrow Airport. A large number of crew and facilities are based in the region, contributing to the overall strength of the creative sector, which is a significant employer in the South East of England.”
Gareth Neame, Executive Producer of Downton Abbey and MD of Carnival Films

The UK’s film and TV studios have struggled to meet booming demand for production space in recent years. This has triggered a wave of new studio developments, warehouse conversions and extensions to existing studios, but the current development pipeline still appears insufficient to satisfy future demand. LSH estimates that 2.3 million sq ft of new sound stage space will be required by 2033. Read the full report here.
