Film & TV Car Hire in Reading — Gateway to Berkshire's Studio Belt

Reading sits at the heart of one of the UK's fastest-growing studio belts. Shinfield Studios — with 18 soundstages, two measuring 41,000 sq ft, and a 9-acre backlot — is just 4 miles south of Reading town centre, making the town an ideal unit base for Netflix, Disney, and major streaming productions. Bray Studios (15 miles east near Windsor), Mapledurham House on the Thames (5 miles north-west), and the historic former Reading Prison all add to Berkshire's appeal as a filming destination. Our fleet includes Ferrari 812 GTS, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, McLaren 720S, Rolls-Royce Ghost, and Bentley Continental for hero roles, background plates, and commercial stills. London Heathrow Airport (LHR) at 25 miles ensures rapid crew arrivals and departures. Reading has no Clean Air Zone, simplifying unit base logistics across the county.

Film & TV Locations Near Reading

From Berkshire's major new studio complexes to period manor houses and atmospheric heritage sites, Reading provides outstanding film and TV production infrastructure across a compact radius.

Shinfield Studios

One of the UK's most significant new studio complexes, Shinfield Studios in Berkshire is just 4 miles south of Reading town centre. The facility comprises 18 soundstages — including two of the largest in the UK at 41,000 sq ft each — plus a 9-acre backlot, 1.8 million sq ft of production space in total, and comprehensive production support services. Major streaming platforms including Netflix and Disney have used the facility since it opened in spring 2024. Our vehicles are available for hero roles, background, and unit base transport on productions of any scale.

Mapledurham House & Watermill

This Elizabethan manor house on the River Thames, just 5 miles from Reading, is one of Berkshire's most filmed locations — used in The Eagle Has Landed and as the inspiration for Toad Hall in The Wind in the Willows. The estate includes England's last working corn and grist mill on the Thames, riverside meadows, and private deer park, providing exceptional period and pastoral production value. Our supercars and prestige vehicles are available for manor arrival shots and period-adjacent background work.

Bray Studios & Englefield House

Bray Studios in Windsor (15 miles east) is one of Britain's most historic studio facilities, with a rich heritage in Hammer Horror and international co-productions, and still active today. Englefield House (8 miles west of Reading) is a Grade I-listed Elizabethan country house that featured in The King's Speech and provides an outstanding country estate backdrop. Both locations are well within our delivery radius for luxury hero vehicles and background fleet.
