If you need to film in a library, we encourage you to consider a public one! Not only are these buildings are authentic and cinematic, they also offer a wide range of architectural styles and time periods. Plus, choosing to film in a public library is a way of supporting these vital community spaces by providing revenue to the Council. It’s a no-brainer!
Waltham Forest has a number of libraries to suit your filming needs, and we’d like to introduce you to a few of them here. Click through for a gallery of photos –
Leytonstone Library – light & bright, wood-panelled walls, art deco atrium
Lea Bridge Library – community feel, outdoor space, stylish events room & cafe
Walthamstow Library – grand main atrium, period features, lots of doubling potential
The borough is also home to Chingford, Hale End, Leyton, Wood Street, and Higham Hill libraries, so if you don’t see anything above to fit your brief we’re sure to find it elsewhere.
