Filming in East London

East London is now one of the most sought after film locations in London, because of the diversity it offers. The East End can symbolise extreme sophistication with places like Canary Wharf and at the same time it can signify extreme indigence and lawlessness.

This page helps film and TV crews contact the right people for permission to film in various areas of east London. Each London Borough has its own film unit, which provide services for film crews wishing to film in the area. Certain attractions and transport providers also have their dedicated film officers.
