    Holy smoke: London site of Jehovah’s Witness HQ to be movie studios.
    By

    Robert DexArts Correspondent

    The former UK headquarters of the Jehovah’s Witness organisation is to be transformed into a huge film studio in an attempt to meet the massive demand from firms wanting to film in the capital.

    The 200,000 sq ft site in Mill Hill was home to the religious group for decades and also housed the printing plant for its Watchtower magazine and the leaflets handed out at Tubes and in door-to-door visits.

    It has been taken on by Purpose which specialises in building flexible workspaces and who will transform it into London North Studios.

    It is part of a surge in demand for studio space in the capital with broadcast giants like Netflix attempting to meet increased demand for shows powered by a rise in viewing during lockdown.

    This says that other film makers will use these studios? I guess that’s their new income stream?

    No idea how much but all the funds will be used in charitable works to help hard up JW's and non-JW's that have suffered deprivations over the last year or so. That's what charities do. *

    As regards the properties they were all up for sale on a property website run by the WT society, I will see if I can find it.

    They have no interest in a building once they have finished with it. It is sold for the best price , that's all

    Before they close up shop entirely, they owe me 5 million dollars for robbing me of a normal childhood.
