Eastbrook Studios, London’s largest film and TV production facility has opened its doors and is welcoming an inaugural wave of production to its stages.
Created by global studio leaders Hackman Capital Partners and The MBS Group, the brand new 21.5-acre campus is home to 12 purpose-built soundstages ranging in size from 16,000 square feet to 32,000 square feet.
The state-of-the-art stages offer up to 50-foot clear heights, gantries, operable walls between stages to allow for interconnectivity, along with specialized workshop, office and production support spaces. Generous backlot areas are available for exterior film sets, as well as nearby cityscapes, urban landscapes and rural locations.
Former Netflix executive and Eastbrook Studios’ Managing Director Brantley Bissette says, “Our modern and technologically advanced stages have the flexibility to welcome productions of every scale and type. This new creative hub, right here in London, is among the world’s finest. We’re extremely proud to be delivering world-class infrastructure to both domestic and international production.”
The new studios have transformed a previously redundant East London lot into one of the most sustainable facilities in the world, with a BREAM rating of Excellent. Marking further investment in the area, the studio team is also proud to be working closely with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham to create opportunities for education and employment within the local community.
With excellent access in and out of the capital, the facility is situated on the London Underground District Line, with London City Airport only 15 minutes away.
Eastbrook Studios is owned by an affiliate of Hackman Capital Partners and operated and serviced by The MBS Group. For more information about the studios, visit www.eastbrookstudios.com.
