The Camden Film Quarter project at Regis Road in Kentish Town will deliver 11 purpose-built sound stages, more than 100,000 sq ft of creative workspace and 485 homes, half of them affordable.<\/p>\n

Developer Yoo Capital said the scheme would create a fully integrated screen industry campus, bringing together production facilities, education providers, creative businesses and housing within a single masterplan.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Studio operator Oxygen Studios will run the sound stages, while housing partner Places for People will deliver 243 affordable homes.<\/p>\n

The scheme has been designed by SPPARC and is planned around a creative industries cluster that will also house the National Film and Television School and London Screen Academy, providing facilities for more than 500 learners.<\/p>\n

Architect Broadway Malyan (housing), Oxygen Studios (studio operations), Montagu Evans (planning, historic environment and townscape), Spacehub (landscape architecture), Momentum Transport Consultancy (transport), Atelier Ten (sustainability) and a wider team of specialist consultants.<\/p>\n

Developers claim the project will support around 3,960 direct operational jobs and generate 5,155 net additional jobs overall.<\/p>\n

Alongside the film studios and housing, plans include 1.1 hectares of public open space, 301 new trees, a new recycling centre and the restoration of the Grade II-listed Kentish Town Police Station.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Yoo Capital co-founder and managing partner Lloyd Lee said: \u201cCamden Film Quarter is much more than a film studio development. It is a complete creative ecosystem that brings together production, education, employment, homes, culture and public space within a single integrated vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

The approval represents a major boost for London\u2019s studio sector as demand continues to grow for large-scale production facilities following sustained investment from global streaming and film companies.<\/p>\n

The project also forms a key part of Camden\u2019s wider regeneration plans for the Regis Road Growth Area, transforming a largely industrial site into a mixed-use neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Architect Broadway Malyan has designed the housing elements<\/p>\n

A timetable for procurement and construction has yet to be confirmed, although the planning approval clears the way for detailed delivery plans to be finalised.<\/p>\n
