Filming in the borough

The Royal Borough is keen to develop and promote a film friendly environment. We have established a film partnership through which all identified parties have signed up to a shared code of practice aimed at:

  • promoting the borough as a 'film friendly' ideal location for filmmakers; coordinating film location activity;
  • ensuring film activity is carried out safely and with the minimum disruption to local residents and businesses;
  • providing location managers and filmmakers with one-stop initial contact service to make their lives easier;
  • enabling information sharing across all partners; creating additional income for the borough and its partners;
  • supporting the local economy and attracting visitors to the Royal Borough.

A code of practice has been developed that enables the borough to be promoted as 'film friendly' and encourage filming in the area, while ensuring there are strict procedures to protect amenities and quality of life for local residents and businesses.
