from 2022
Only two days after the new RD Studios were announced in December 2021, Troubadour released a press statement revealing that they had taken over an old Toys “R” Us store at Brent Cross, further adding to London’s available space for filming. (Toys “R” Us ceased trading in April 2018 after 34 years in the UK.) The studios became available early in 2022.
The 150,000 sq ft building is next to where the A41 crosses the North Circular and is about 10 miles from Troubadour’s Meridian Water Studios. They took out a 3 year lease on the property (I assume this has been extended.)
At first, the studios offered one very large stage but this appears to have since been divided with an acoustically treated wall to form three stages:
Stage A: 193 x 74ft (15,400 sq ft)
Stage B: 135 x 69ft (8,675 sq ft)
Stage C: 51 x 38ft (2,013 sq ft.)
The building contains well-equipped offices, prop stores, workshops, wardrobe areas and hair & make-up facilities. The large car park is an ideal location for a unit base. So far I have not been able to discover what has been filmed in these studios. Can you help?
