General Location Filming Procedures

All producers undertake to inform Film London of any especially complex shoots well in advance of the start of shooting to ensure effective liaison with all parties affected by the shoot. Film London undertakes to facilitate such liaison in a timely and efficient manner.

Productions undertake that they shall inform the relevant film contact of a shoot that is taking place on a private location where such shooting may have an impact on the relevant local authority or organisation.

Filming Application Process

The production agrees to provide the relevant film contact with a written application within a time frame that is adequate and proportionate, bearing in mind the scale of the planned filming and its potential impact on the local community. The more complex the shoot, the greater the lead in time required.

In consultation with the Borough Film Service, the production shall undertake appropriate and mutually agreed consultation with local residents, businesses and other local parties likely to be directly affected by filming.
