About Park Royal Studios

Founded with a passion for creativity and community, Park Royal Studios has been at the heart of London’s photography and filming scene since 1987. What started as a family dream has grown into one of the most respected and loved studios in the UK, renowned for its welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, exceptional service, and dedication to the craft.

From Covent Garden to Park Royal

Our story begins back in the 1960s when Nicholas Paulo left Singapore for the UK to start a new life in London. Together with his brothers Carl and Claude, they started a small E6 film processing lab in Covent Garden. It was a creative hub in its own right, a place buzzing with new ideas and possibilities. 
Fast forward to 1987, and we found a new home in Park Royal.

Here, the studio evolved into a space for the industry’s brightest stars, keeping pace with every major shift in photography and film, from analogue to digital and everything in between. Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots: a commitment to artistry, innovation, and the people behind the lens.

Building relationships, not just bookings

At Park Royal Studios, we do more than offer spaces to hire, we create an environment where creativity can truly thrive. Our mission is simple: to help every client, crew, and creative team bring their vision to life. Whether you’re shooting an intimate portrait or running a large-scale production, we’ll do everything we can to make it happen and to make the process unforgettable.

What sets us apart is the human touch. We believe in building relationships, not just bookings. Many of our clients return time and time again, drawn not only by our facilities but also by the people who make Park Royal Studios what it is: a family-run business with a heart for collaboration and excellence.

A legacy of iconic film and photography

Over the years, our studios have seen some truly iconic moments, from high-profile advertising campaigns to groundbreaking film productions. But what we value most is the trust we’ve built with the creative community. It’s this trust, earned over decades of dedication and genuine care, that drives us to keep raising the bar.

Today, Park Royal Studios is more than just a studio. It’s a place where ideas are born, where challenges are met with solutions, and where every team, big or small, is treated like family.
