Testimonials

“I recently had the opportunity of filming on Tower Bridge, which is without doubt one of London’s most iconic Locations! 

The whole experience was great, and the Bridge team were super helpful in making sure the brief was met. Communication was brilliant and the changing requirements were met with courtesy and professionalism.  

I look forward to working with Tower Bridge in the near future.” 

Locate Productions, 2024

“We shot a large-scale feature film on Tower Bridge in the summer of 2024.  The Tower Bridge team couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. 

This ranged from a willingness to consider our inherently disruptive proposals, attend numerous site visits and meetings with ourselves and other stakeholders, ask staff to work extremely antisocial hours on a Sunday and deal with our often-changing plans with good grace. On the day, our shoot went very smoothly and was, dare I say it, even quite enjoyable! This was in no small part down to the Tower Bridge team. 

If I get another Tower Bridge request in the future, I will look forward to it with a lot less trepidation knowing how well this shoot went.” 

Owl Films, 2024
