From 1st April 2026 we will no longer be managing the film service contract for Tower Hamlets.
We are proud of the service delivered over the past 25 + years, during which we worked collaboratively with the Council, residents and industry partners to build one of London’s most active and respected borough film services. Our service approach has always prioritised sustainable pricing, service quality and long-term stability for boroughs and productions alike, and we remain committed to those principles.
The Film Office remains fully operational and focused on delivering high-quality film location services across London and beyond. We look forward to continuing to support productions and local authorities in the months ahead.

Best Practice
Pressure on London streets from all who live, work and travel through has never been greater, so professional behaviour and a commitment to ‘best industry practice’ is essential.
Film London, along with all London Borough Film Offices (BFO’s), established a protocol for filming called the ‘Code of Practice’ which includes your obligations under the law.
The Film Office
Tower Hamlets Film Office is managed by The Film Office.
We provide a one stop shop for all enquiries and applications to film within the borough. Our professional management and expertise ensures filming takes place in a safe and controlled manner whilst minimising disruption for local residents and business.
The London Filming Partnership – Tower Hamlets is a signatory and we are committed to making the borough a welcoming place for productions whilst ensuring our borough residents enjoy the economic benefits of filming with minimal inconvenience.
Our company affiliate membership to The Production Guild – the UK’s premier film and TV industry membership organisation for professionals working across production – aligns with our requirement and encouragement of professionalism in UK production practices.
We look forward to working with you soon.
