Tower Bridge
TV Studios and
Event Space
London has many landmarks but few are as
well-known around the world as Tower Bridge.
While many camera positions around the city offer
views of different locations, none is recognised
as widely as this world famous bridge, with its
remarkable design and history.
Until now there has not been a studio location
that shows this iconic London view and landmark
from one position, but Tower Bridge TV Studios
changes all that, delivering a unique London
backdrop for live broadcast and pre-recorded
programme production.
The Studio is situated on the sixth floor of 2 More
London Riverside, as a dedicated enclosed unit
within the offices of London & Partners, the official
promotional organisation for London.
Furthermore, an Event Space is available to hire
for events, meetings and conferences, or as an
additional studio, offering stunning views of Tower
Bridge, the River Thames and the City of London.
The Studio
Tower Bridge enjoyed centre stage in the city as part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic Rings and Paralympic Agitos suspended from the bridge provided one of the key city backdrops to the London Games.
The studio offers clients a variety of production options, from single camera stand-up to multi-camera shoots, with edit facilities, sound room and desk space. All technical requirements can be catered for across different formats, and there is the opportunity to bring in sets.
Tower Bridge TV Studios offers stunning views of London for
all types of broadcast. The iconic landmark Tower Bridge on the
River Thames has featured in a multitude of film and television
productions as an instantly recognisable view of London.
Alongside Tower Bridge, the backdrop of the Tower of London
offers striking views from the south side of the river. Further
view options include City Hall, political base for London and
home to the Mayor.
Flexible studio space
The studio can be booked in a
variety of options, including with
or without connectivity, and with
or without crew.
