London North Studios

What London North Studios does

London North Studios operates a multi-purpose film and TV production facility on a 5-acre site in Mill Hill, North London, under the legal entity Ridgeway Property Holdings Ltd. The facility offers seven on-site studios ranging from approximately 1,115 sqft (Studio 8) to 17,500 sqft combined (Studio 2/3), with ceiling heights up to 33ft and high-capacity electrical infrastructure including 500A three-phase power boards for productions with heavy technical loads. The asset base also includes production offices across four floors, support spaces (green rooms, HMU, wardrobe, rehearsal, PPM, publicity), nearly 18,000 sqft of storage and workshop capacity (Bay 1-3, prop stores, micro storage), four event spaces (Studio 7, UGCP, Auditorium, Event Hall), location filming assets, an on-site café, podcast studio, and parking.

The business serves three primary customer segments: film and TV productions (the primary segment, renting soundstages, offices, support spaces, and storage as integrated production hubs), creative businesses (renting flexible production offices with short break clauses), and event organizers (renting blank-canvas event spaces for corporate events, parties, screenings, and presentations). Revenue is generated through a hybrid of one-time project-based studio and event rental and recurring subscription-style contracts for offices, storage, and long-term support space hire. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer acquisition is sales-led via website enquiry forms, dedicated email channels (hello, sales, hire, info), and phone outreach, supported by organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The company has completed the TV Access Project (TAP) accessibility audit, signaling alignment with sector accessibility standards.

Broad incumbents

• Pinewood Studios: UK's flagship film and TV studio operator, owned by Pinewood Group. Offers a much larger portfolio of stages, tanks, and backlots, but addresses the same London/UK production customer base that London North targets.
• Elstree Studios: Long-established film and TV studio in Borehamwood, North of London. Overlaps with London North's North London catchment and competes for TV drama and film commissions.
• Sky Studios Elstree: Sky's purpose-built film and TV studio complex in Borehamwood, opened in 2022. Represents new, well-capitalised stage capacity competing for the same high-end TV and film commissions in the London region.
• Shepperton Studios: Major UK film and TV studio complex with extensive stage capacity, owned by a consortium led by Sunrise Film Studios. Competes for the same high-end film and high-end TV productions that may also consider London North.

Direct peers

• Longcross Studios: Surrey-based film and TV studio with multiple large soundstages and production office space. A directly comparable multi-stage facility targeting UK and international productions.
• Eastbrook Studios: London-based film and TV studio with multiple stages, production offices and support facilities. Closest direct comparable to London North in scale and product mix, both targeting film/TV and event clients in the London market.

• Sunset Studios Waltham Cross: Newly developed large-scale studio campus in Hertfordshire backed by Blackstone and Hudson Pacific. Represents a major new entrant in the London-area stage market, directly competing for the same high-end TV/film bookings.
