Filming in Hackney

Hackney has a diverse range of backdrops, from the railway arches of Andre Street and Geffrye Street, and the quiet, tree lined Victorian De Beauvoir Town, to the loft conversions and vibrant social centres of Hoxton and Shoreditch.

Film friendly

Hackney Council prides itself on being film friendly and the popularity of the borough as a filming destination is growing, year on year. In 2002 there were just 353 filming days in Hackney, this rose to 445 in 2003, to 605 in 2004 and to 670 in 2005.

We operate a one stop shop for filming in Council owned locations, and on the public highway in Hackney.
