Shaping Camden Film Quarter, Together
Camden Film Quarter has been shaped through extensive consultation and collaboration with the local community.
From early masterplan discussions in 2023 to detailed planning proposals in 2025, residents, businesses and organisations across Camden have shared ideas, priorities and concerns.
This engagement has helped shape the proposals, influencing everything from public spaces and walking routes to creative opportunities and community facilities.

Consultation in Numbers
Listening to the Community
Building heights and scale
Some residents expressed concerns about the height and scale of buildings and how they relate to surrounding neighbourhoods.
Building heights and massing were reviewed and refined to create a more balanced relationship with nearby streets and public spaces.
Recycling centre impacts
Residents raised questions about noise, air quality and the visual impact of the recycling centre.
The layout of the facility has been refined and additional operational improvements introduced to reduce potential impacts.
Public spaces and green areas
Residents highlighted the importance of accessible public spaces and green areas within the development.
The masterplan includes new landscaped spaces and improved public routes through the site.
Walking and cycling connections
Residents emphasised the need for safe and clear routes through the site and better connections with surrounding neighbourhoods.
Pedestrian and cycle routes have been strengthened to improve connectivity between Kentish Town Road, Grafton Road and nearby streets.
Creative jobs and opportunities
Residents were interested in how Camden Film Quarter could support creative industries and provide local employment.
The proposals include film studios and creative workspaces, alongside opportunities for training and employment in the screen industries.
Next Steps
Following the programme of community engagement and consultation, the Camden Film Quarter proposals have now been submitted to the London Borough of Camden as part of a planning application.
Camden Council will review the application and undertake its own statutory consultation process, providing residents, businesses and stakeholders with an opportunity to comment on the proposals directly to the Council.
The planning authority will consider feedback received during this consultation, alongside the submitted application documents, before making a decision on the project.
The Camden Film Quarter team remains committed to ongoing dialogue with the community as the project progresses. Updates will continue to be shared through this website and through future engagement with local residents, organisations and businesses.
We would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to share their views and help shape the proposals for Camden Film Quarter.
