Henley Town Hall is ideally positioned for film productions, located just under an hour from many major London studios. Set in the picturesque riverside town of Henley-on-Thames, the area offers a diverse range of film-friendly locations, from Victorian cemeteries and chapels to vineyards and medieval barns. The town has already featured in high-profile productions such as The Social Network, showcasing its cinematic appeal. Local businesses, including riverboat providers like Hobbs of Henley, are known to collaborate with film crews, providing flexible and supportive on-the-ground services. Henley’s Town Hall itself sits within a market square framed by striking period architecture, making it an ideal double for a variety of historic or official backdrops.

Henley Town Hall is a versatile filming venue offering several unique interior spaces. The Main Hall, with its high arched ceiling and original stained glass windows, provides a grand setting and can hold up to 210 people, making it suitable for both on-screen scenes and production use. The oak-panelled Council Chamber, complete with an ornate fireplace and vintage brass chandeliers, offers a richly atmospheric space ideal for formal or period scenes and seats up to 60 people. A smaller Committee Room is also available, and the entire building can be hired exclusively for full control during shoots. The Town Hall’s distinctive double staircase adds another visually compelling feature for filmmakers seeking character-rich interior shots.
