Riverside Studios

Riverside Studios is an arts center in Hammersmith along the Thames housing multiple performance stages, a cinema, and television production facilities. The complex contains spaces designed for theatrical shows, film screenings, and visual art displays.

The building was created in 1933 inside a Victorian iron foundry and served the BBC as a television studio from 1954 to 1974. Many well-known shows including Doctor Who were produced there during this period.

The venue hosts theatrical performances, film screenings, and art shows that draw both local and international artists. It functions as a gathering place for people interested in contemporary and traditional creative work.

The complex sits on Queen Caroline Street and offers on-site bar and kitchen services for visitors. Getting there by public transportation is straightforward and convenient.

The building reopened in 2019 following major renovations that blended modern HD and UHD production capabilities with historic performance areas. This combination keeps the original character while adding contemporary technical resources.
