Applying to film at King's
The College is primarily a place for our community members to live, work, study and socialise. It is private property with selected parts of the College opened to the wider public. While we recognise the benefits and opportunities of allowing selected filming, photography and recording to take place, these need to be balanced against the potential impact on community members and College life.
Making an application
Applications should be submitted as far in advance as possible. Except for news media requests, a lead-in time of at least ten working days is required.
While we try to be flexible, short-notice requests may not be granted due to availability and the need to consult with various College departments to avoid clashes with other events or permitted filming.
Permission is much less likely to be granted during Easter Term when students are sitting exams or at the same time as major scheduled events.
