After undertaking an extensive search for our ‘forever home’, Central Film School moved to its current campus in 2022. Occupying a former 19th-century music hall nestled between Brixton and Clapham North, our premises offers the CFS academic community everything a visual storyteller could need.  Famous for its vibrant social scene and cultural diversity, Clapham has also been the home to some of the screen industry’s biggest stars such as Margot Robbie, Jason Statham, Christopher Wood and J.K Rowling.
