SHINFIELD STUDIOS COMPLETES PHASES ONE AND TWO S hinfield Studios – the latest UK production hub based in Shinfield’s Thames Valley Science Park – is now partially open, with 13 stages finished and a further five due to complete by 2024. Shinfield will offer nearly 1 million sq ft of space to film and TV productions, furthering the UK’s reputation as a production force to be reckoned with. Once completed, Shinfield Studios will house 18 soundstages, a workshop and mill space, a post-production facility and contemporary office areas, as well as a nine-acre backlot. Each stage is a different size, making Shinfield suited to productions of various magnitudes. It’s positioned to become one of the largest studio complexes in the UK with a sister campus in Atlanta, Georgia owned by the same parent company, Shadowbox Studios. Shinfield Studios is a short train from central London or a 30- minute drive from Heathrow Airport – with plenty of on-site parking.
