Film & TV Production Transport in Leicester
The East Midlands' Cultural Heart.
Leicester's Cultural Quarter and genuinely diverse streetscapes give productions a distinctive East Midlands backdrop - Film Unit Car runs cast, crew and equipment across the city, with the same fleet and booking process as our London and Home Counties work.
Leicester Is a Location-Filming City
We're upfront that Leicester doesn't have a major dedicated soundstage of its own - its strength is genuine location filming: the Cultural Quarter and the city's diverse communities and streetscapes offer something distinct from the usual period-drama backdrop.
A Leicester call sheet typically moves between city-centre and suburban locations, with the M1/A6 providing fast access in and out of the city.
When a Leicester production needs the Home Counties studio belt, that's a genuine long-distance leg - a few hours by road - and we arrange it as a dedicated booking, using the fleet and drivers that already work those studios daily.

Getting Cast & Crew To and From Leicester
East Midlands Airport sits around 12 miles northwest of the city centre and is the practical arrivals point for most Leicester productions - we run meet-and-greet collections there, coordinated against your call sheet.
For international cast or crew connecting via London, or a production needing a Home Counties studio leg, we also cover every London airport as part of the same booking.
Studio Access From Leicester
Leicester's production strength is genuine location filming rather than a dedicated soundstage, and we know the city's Cultural Quarter and surrounding areas well from regular bookings there.
When a production needs one of the established Home Counties studios - Pinewood, Shepperton, Elstree or Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden - that's a genuine long-distance leg via the M1, and we arrange it honestly as a dedicated booking, using the same fleet that already works those studios daily.
