THIS IS HISTORY NOW UK

History doesn’t
stand still.

History Now UK is here to explore the UK’s stories through the places that hold them. We make short educational films with original location footage and researched storytelling.

We’re starting in London: its landmarks, hidden corners and details you might otherwise walk past. One place. A fresh perspective. A reason to look again.

Clear arrangements.

Access, suitable times and restrictions are discussed with you. Each location’s rules and permissions guide what can be filmed.

03 /

History, opened up.

Original footage, researched storytelling and AI-generated narration help introduce historic places to a wider audience.
