📍
Upper Ground, South Bank, London SE1 9LT, United Kingdom
Corporate VenueTelevision Production Studio

Historic television production facility on London's South Bank, formerly home to major TV shows and available for private events.

About This Venue

The London Studios was a renowned television production complex located on the South Bank of the Thames, opposite the Houses of Parliament. Originally opened in 1972 as the home of London Weekend Television, the facility hosted numerous iconic British TV shows including 'The South Bank Show' and various ITV productions. The studios featured multiple production spaces with professional broadcast equipment, green rooms, and hospitality areas. While no longer in active television production, the venue's unique broadcasting heritage and prime riverside location made it a distinctive choice for corporate events, product launches, and private functions requiring a media-industry atmosphere.
