Construction of London's Largest Movie Film Studio Facility

London's mayor Sadiq Khan said Thursday that the city is exploring plans to build what could be the British capital’s largest film studio facility, based in Dagenham, a suburb of East London amid continued high demand for production space.

 

Meanwhile, located 20 miles north west of Central London and serving as its UK-based shooting lot, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden offers a number of well-equipped stages for large-scale productions, in addition to a large tank for aquatic scenes.

 

 

Almost twenty years after the complex was converted from aerodrome to film studios - and over a year since the completion of work on the newly refurbished studios - the site was officially opened by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on 26 April 2013.

Approximately three-quarters of the U.K.’s film industry is based in and around London, and last year $1.27 billion (£1 billion) was attracted to the city in investment from international film production, according to Film London. Overall, London is considered the third busiest city for film production behind Los Angeles and New York.

 

"New studio space will help meet increasing demand and ensure many more multi-million-pound productions come to London, showing the world that, following the EU referendum, the capital remains open to business, talent and creativity," FIlm London said.

"The biggest U.S. studio-backed productions can bring in over £100 million ($127 million) in U.K. spend and new Dagenham studios would enable London to bid successfully for more overseas film productions, benefiting not just the capital but the rest of the U.K.," Film London said.

"To sustain and grow this success story, it is critical that the capital gets significantly more studio and production capacity to maximize the opportunities for filmmaking. London is open to the best creative and cultural minds and I am looking forward to exploring whether a new film studio in Dagenham could help the capital’s film industry thrive for years to come."
