About
London Film School (LFS) is a film school in London, United Kingdom, and is situated in Covent Garden, neighbouring Soho, a hub of the British film industry. It is the oldest film school in the UK. LFS was founded in 1956 by Gilmore Roberts as the London School of Film Technique (LSFT). Originally based on Electric Avenue in Brixton, the school moved to a converted brewery on Shelton Street in 1966, after a brief parenthesis in Charlotte Street, and changed its name to London Film School in 1969. From 1974 to 2000, it was known as the London International Film School (LIFS), and reverted to the name London Film School in 2001. In 2025, it expanded with a new campus in nearby Parker Street, now become its main hub.
