The largest film studios in central London, based in the heart of East London
3 Mills is London’s largest film and television studio, set on a historic and spacious 20 acre island site, situated within the London borough of Newham near to the Olympic Park.
The Studios, which are owned by the Development Corporation, have been used by some of the most successful independent filmmakers including Danny Boyle and Tim Burton. The Development Corporation is committed to supporting the creative and media industries in East London.
