More and more production companies are discovering Addington Palace's potential as a location for film, video and television recording.

The White House, No.10 Downing Street, Saddam Hussein's residence, a classically elegant ballroom, a casino... the rooms in the palace have been transformed to create them all.

From music videos for Girls Aloud to historical dramas such as Churchill at War, a follow-up to critically acclaimed Shadowlands, Addington Palace is an adaptable venue with on-site parking for large unit bases.

Among the regular visitors to the palace are such popular series as The Bill, Footballers Wives, Family Affairs and Bremner, Bird and Fortune.

"Just a quick note to thank you and your colleagues for all your help and co-operation for our location shoot on Top Ten TV: Bitches. That the day passed without a hitch was in no small part due to the laid-back professionalism of all the people at Addington Palace, and no doubt to the groundwork you put in beforehand. I thought the Palace looked magnificent (and just as good on camera) and it was a very 'user friendly' environment to work in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a location to other production companies and I hope that we get the opportunity to film there again soon."
