Filming

Known for its rich history, unique industrial buildings and wild natural landscape, the Gunpowder Mills has had its fair share of screen time. With its post-apocalyptic landscapes, natural woodland, waterways, industrial decay and peculiar structures located just off the M25, the Gunpowder Mills offers a unique, private and accessible filming location.

The site also offers beautiful scenery and carefully restored buildings which make great studio spaces for filming, photoshoots and documentaries.
