Here’s a little inspiration to get you started…

“My top pick of things to see and do”
London is packed with creative inspiration, but here are a few standout experiences I always recommend for Film & Media Studies groups:
BFI Imax Theatre
The IMAX is Britain’s largest cinema screen, more than 20 metres high (that’s nearly the height of five double-decker buses!) and 26 metres wide.
Creative Media Skills Institute
A range of quality workshops that will give students real insight into career opportunities within the media industry.
London Film Academy
Half day or full day workshops are available in all aspects of film production: Making A Short Film, Production Processes, Cinematography, Documentary Film Making, Documentary, Airbrush Make-Up for Film, TV, Theatre & Fashion and many more.
Museum of Brands
Featuring over 12,000 original items, the museum is a great addition to any Media Studies trip to London.
Sky Up Academy
Sky Up Academy Studios is an immersive learning experience that places young people centre stage as media creators.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour – Harry Potter
Go behind-the-scenes in the making of Harry Potter and see how many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bro.
