London: A Global Powerhouse for Film & TV Production
In 2024, the UK’s film and high-end television production expenditure reached £5.6 billion, with film production alone contributing £2.1 billion. This surge underscores London’s pivotal role in the industry, attracting major international projects and significantly boosting the local economy. The capital’s world-class crews, diverse locations, exceptional talent, and competitive tax reliefs maintain its top-tier status. However, this also means demand for studio space is incredibly high.
Square Elephant Productions offers global production teams a seamless shooting experience across London and the rest of the UK. We are a one-stop service for film and TV production, accommodating projects of any size with ease.
Additionally, with the newly introduced Independent Film Tax Credit (IFTC), productions with budgets up to £15 million can benefit from a 53% tax relief on qualifying expenditure. This significant incentive is designed to reignite the indie sector, making London and the UK an even more attractive destination for filmmakers.
England, Wales, and Scotland’s stunning scenery,
experienced crew, world class studios and attractive tax breaks
make it one of the best places in the world to film.
