The Kew Bridge Studios were a British film studio located in Kew Bridge, Brentford, west London which operated from 1919 to 1924.
The site had originally been a theatre, but due to the rapid expansion of the British film industry after the First World War it switched to filmmaking as the existing studios were overspilling.
The studios hosted a number of independent film-makers during the silent era, including Walter West and Guy Newall.
[1] The studios were hit by the rapid fall in the number of films being released due to the Slump of 1924 and by competition from better-equipped studios.
After the studios closed down they were converted into the celebrated Q Theatre which occupied the site until the 1950s.
