Pinewood)
Pinewood Studios is a major British film studio situated approximately 20 miles west of London among the pine trees on what was the estate of Heatherden Hall, near the village of Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire.
They were created in 1934 by Charles Boot and built within 12 months by the Henry Boot Company of Sheffield. Boot drew his inspiration from the latest Hollywood movie studios. J. Arthur Rank later took control of both Pinewood and Denham Film Studios which were often used by producer Alexander Korda.
Pinewood is now managed together with Shepperton Studios, which is the other leading British production location. Both studios are linked to the media network Sohonet.
