Record year for filming in London
Film London has announced a record-breaking 18% increase in filming in the capital, marking an upturn in London's filming fortunes for the second successive year.
The figures, which include shooting for films, TV and commercials, are collated by each of London's 33 boroughs, and again consolidate London's place as the third busiest production centre in the world.
In 2005, the total number of shooting days in London was 12,655 compared to 10,683 in 2004. This brings the average number of crews shooting every day in the capital to 35.
The London Borough of Richmond saw the greatest rise in filming with an increase of 148% on 2004. Other boroughs to report a major boost include Haringey (130% increase); Wandsworth (55% increase); and Southwark (53% increase).
The ten most filmed-in boroughs for 2005 are:
1. Westminster - 2231 days
2. Corporation of London - 1051 days
3. Lambeth - 932 days
4. Camden - 891days
5. Southwark - 822 days
6. Wandsworth - 765 days
7. Tower Hamlets - 716 days
8. Hackney - 670 days
9. Kensington Chelsea - 624 days
10. Hammersmith Fulham - 526 days
Adrian Wootton, Chief Executive of Film London, said: "I am delighted that London has seen an increase in filming for yet another year. These figures confirm the capital's importance as a film-making centre and its position as a strong competitor in the international market."
