Filming in Camden: permits and fees

Camden covers Bloomsbury, Kings Cross, Camden Town, and Hampstead with standard London Filming Partnership processes.

Who issues permits

Camden’s filming team issues street and public space permits as part of the London Filming Partnership. Productions working on Hampstead Heath need separate consent from the City of London Corporation which manages the Heath independently.

Process

Apply via Camden’s filming enquiry form or by direct contact. Minimum five working days for standard permits; road closures need three to four weeks. Camden’s team is accessible and responsive for both independent and commercial shoots.

Fees

Standard London borough filming fees apply. Admin charges apply for street permits. A reduced rate may be available for student and low-budget productions — confirm with the team.

What’s covered

Streets in Bloomsbury, Kings Cross, Camden Town, Hampstead village, Holborn, and Kentish Town. Council parks excluding Hampstead Heath. Camden Town Hall and other civic buildings.

Typical restrictions

Hampstead Heath is outside Camden’s remit — contact the City of London Corporation. Residential street night shoots require neighbour notification. Insurance minimum £5 million public liability.
