Best Practice
Pressure on London streets from all who live, work and travel through has never been greater, so professional behaviour and a commitment to ‘best industry practice’ is essential.
Film London, along with all London Borough Film Offices (BFO’s), established a protocol for filming called the ‘Code of Practice’ which includes your obligations under the law.
