Info
Lime Grove Studios was originally a film studio complex built by the Gaumont Film Company in 1915, but it was later purchased by the BBC who used it for television broadcasts from 1949 to 1991. It was situated in Lime Grove, a residential street in Shepherd's Bush, west London, and when it first opened was described by Gaumont as "the finest studio in Great Britain and the first building ever put up in this country solely for the production of films". Many Gainsborough Pictures films were made here from the early 1930s. Its sister studio was Islington Studios, also used by Gainsborough. Films were often shot partly at Islington and partly at Lime Grove. The complex was demolished in 1993.
