MAKING LONDON’S BUILDINGS THE MOST FILM FRIENDLY ON THE PLANET
LOCATION COLLECTIVE AGENCY
Location Collective is a leading, London based provider of space to the film & TV industry, with over 16 years of experience in bringing together filming and property. Our company mission is to ‘Make London’s buildings the most film friendly on the planet’.
BEST AT WHAT WE DO
Our Agency business focuses on sourcing the types of properties which are in highest demand with our production customers, with our dedicated in-house Acquisitions Team working to build relationships with property owners and secure sites to our portfolio for film & TV industry usage.
We source all types of production space to suit the requirements of hiring productions, whether for front of camera filming or as behind the camera production space including alternative set build, workshops and ancillary space or production offices.
Once new properties are introduced to our portfolio, our in-house Customer Service Team works to ensure the most film friendly space and policies with our owner clients, whilst taking the administration associated with filming away from owners to ensure they keep their doors open to filming for as long as possible.
To date, Location Collective have placed well in excess of 10,000 filming and production space hires into buildings within our Agency portfolio. We currently represent 250+ properties on an exclusive basis, and 600+ properties on a nonexclusive basis.
