Teddington Studios, Film studio in Teddington, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom
Teddington Studios was a production facility in southwest London built specifically for television and film work. The complex housed multiple studios of varying sizes and contained modern equipment for recording, sound, and post-production services.
The facility began in the early 1900s when a stockbroker allowed filmmakers to use his greenhouse structure. Warner Brothers took over in the 1930s to produce films for the British market under regulations of the time.
The facility became known for producing television shows that defined entertainment for audiences over multiple decades. Series like The Benny Hill Show and The IT Crowd shaped what people watched in their homes.
The site contains separate studio spaces that allow multiple productions to happen at the same time. Visitors should expect that not all areas are open to the public since active filming and work take place throughout.
The studio's story began with an unlikely partnership between a businessman and early filmmakers who transformed his property. What started as an improvised shoot in a greenhouse later grew into a professional production center of international scale.
