London Film School (LFS) is a not-for-profit film school in London and is situated in a converted brewery in Covent Garden, London, close to a hub of the UK film industry based in Soho.
LFS was founded in 1956 by Gilmore Roberts as the London School of Film Technique. Originally based on Electric Avenue in Brixton, the school moved to the West End in 1963, first into a building in Charlotte Street and later, in 1966, in its current premises on Shelton Street. Around that time, it became known as The London Film School. From 1971 to 2000 it was known as The London International Film School, and reverted to the name London Film School in 2001.
