Upcoming Trade Shows London, UK for Film & Media

We can’t talk about the British film and media industry without talking about London’s role as its historic central hub for film and television. It’s in the capital that British filmmakers cut their teeth and made a name for themselves on the global film stage. Every single significant decision made in the film world takes place in Soho – the seat of the production industry with major players like Working Title, Number 9 Films and Potboiler Films present. Here, alongside renowned post-production houses such as De Lane Lea and Prime Focus, is where movie magic happens! But London’s film legacy would be poorer if not for the iconic studios like Elstree, Leavesden and Shepperton, which present directors and showrunners with the cutting-edge facilities that make film and television productions possible. Pinewood and Ealing Studios, perhaps the two most influential studios in cinematic history, birthed timeless classics like the Bond franchise and British gems such as The Ladykillers and The Italian Job. London’s influence extends beyond film with major TV production hubs like 3 Mills Studios serving as hotbeds for television projects. These spaces provide the backdrop for engrossing storytelling across various genres. The economic significance of London’s screen industries cannot be overstated as international feature productions generated over £1.3 billion in 2019 alone. Beyond financial gains, the sector supports thousands of jobs. The London Filming Partnership (LFP) brings together diverse stakeholders, from local authorities to major studios and broadcasters, to support over 14,000 filming days annually. By facilitating collaboration and streamlining processes, the LFP ensures that London remains a premier destination for commercial filming endeavors. Organizations involved in commercial filming in London have the opportunity to join the LFP, gaining access to a network of over 560 entities committed to advancing the city’s position as a global leader in the film and media industry.
