Media Visit Guidelines

Basic Guidelines

  • Media looking for assistance must fully complete and submit the media request form below
  • Journalists should be prepared to submit a letter of assignment on the publication's letterhead from their editor indicating intent to publish their feature or article along with a recent copy of the publication they are writing for
  • Freelance writers need to provide two recently published travel related clippings from an audited outlet, published within the last calendar year, for the request to be considered
  • While we welcome the opportunity to work with television and film productions, London & Partners cannot arrange necessary work visas or filming permits. Film crews must also have public liability insurance to be able to film in many locations in London. Film permits and other filming guidelines can be obtained through Film London
