Since Covid, BMA House Tavistock Square in London says it has seen increased requests for filming and photography, including confirmed bookings from names like Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, BBC, and ITV.
The venue is listed as a Grade II building, with spaces such as the courtyard, garden, Great Hall, and Prince’s Room attracting business. The venue also offers exclusive access, convenient parking, secure storage and catering.
Kat Winfield, BMA House’s venue manager said: “Prior to 2020, we had occasional enquiries as a filming location, and we realised the potential we had with such a beautiful building and gardens. We saw an opportunity, and the team wanted to go for it.”
Winfield added: “Following a sustained focus, including the development of specialist packages, marketing collateral and dedicated sales resource, we saw 50 enquiries for £750k deliver nine confirmed bookings last year. These included several high-profile shows, for leading production companies.”
Cécile Howard, assistant location manager, said: “BMA House at Tavistock Square is a fantastic location with great filming spaces from the courtyard, gardens, offices, events spaces and even a disused bank! From the initial scout to filming, the Events team has been incredibly accommodating, responsive and patient as our shoot requirements developed. During filming, their events liaison, on-site security and FM team were superb in assisting our on-the-day requests. I would happily recommend BMA House for filming and crowd-basing and hope to return for future projects.”
