Vision

Camden Film Quarter will transform the industrial land around Regis Road in Kentish Town into a new creative neighbourhood at the heart of Camden.

The vision is to bring together film and television production, creative workspaces, new homes and public spaces within a vibrant mixed-use district. Purpose-built film studios will sit alongside homes, education spaces, shops and landscaped streets, creating a place where creativity, community and everyday life can exist side by side.

By embedding film production within the city, Camden Film Quarter aims to support the growth of the UK’s screen industries while creating new opportunities for local people. The development will also introduce new routes, green spaces and public places, helping to reconnect this currently fragmented industrial area with the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Together, these elements will create a distinctive new destination for Camden.

Masterplan Policy

The regeneration of the Regis Road area in Kentish Town has been guided by Camden Council’s planning policies over several years.

The Camden Local Plan (2017) first identified the area as an opportunity for redevelopment, followed by the Kentish Town Planning Framework (2020), which set out a vision for a new mixed-use neighbourhood combining employment, housing and improved public spaces.

Building on this policy framework, a Masterplan Vision for Camden Film Quarter was developed to explore how the industrial land around Regis Road could evolve into a creative district centred on film and television production, alongside new homes, workplaces and public spaces.

In March 2025, Camden Council adopted the Regis Road Area Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). This document provides detailed guidance for the regeneration of the area and forms part of the planning framework used to assess development proposals.

The guidance supports the creation of a connected mixed-use neighbourhood, with new homes, employment opportunities, creative industries and improved public spaces, while strengthening links with surrounding communities.

Camden Film Quarter has been developed within this planning framework and contributes to the long-term vision for the regeneration of the Regis Road area.
