Popular with commuters, Surrey is a southeastern county of England only an hour’s train ride south of central London. It provides the perfect balance between rural and urban life and is bordered by Kent to the east, Sussex to the south, and Hampshire to the west. Surrey boasts several charming historic towns and villages, including Woking, Epsom, Farnham, and Reigate. Guildford is the largest town in Surrey and is a vibrant hub with a historic high street, a castle, and a renowned university.
Compared to filming in central London or other major cities, hiring a film location in Surrey is generally more cost-effective too. Many filmmakers are drawn to Surrey thanks to the affordable hire fees, accommodation costs and services, while still enjoying high production value and attractive locations.
You may not realise that many beautiful Surrey locations have been used as backdrops for major international feature films and TV series.

Checklist for hiring a Surrey film location
Visual requirements
Before starting your search, clearly define the specific requirements for your production, including the type of location, architectural style, setting, and any particular features needed like a pool or a garden.
Budget
Establish a budget for your Surrey shoot, considering factors such as the basic hire fee plus transport costs, equipment and prop rental, crew hire, and allowing for potential costs like overtime fees.
Accessibility
Once you understand your vision and your budget, evaluate the accessibility of potential Surrey film locations in terms of public transport options, parking facilities, and proximity to other essential services such as accommodation and food for the crew. Most towns in Surrey are easily accessible by train.
Facilities
Assess the availability of essential facilities required for your production, such as power outlets, water supply, restrooms, changing rooms or kitchen facilities for self-catering. If specific technical requirements are necessary, confirm with the host whether they can accommodate them (e.g. lighting, rigging, etc.).
Visit sites
You can request to arrange visits to your shortlisted Surrey locations if you’d like to assess their suitability in person. When you tour the space, check for any potential space limitations like narrow stairs and hallways, and verify the location matches the desired look and feel for your project.
