At Canonbury Antiques, we’re always thrilled to see historic architecture take centre stage and Hertford’s County Hall has done just that. This elegant civic building has become a sought-after filming location, earning Hertfordshire County Council over £250,000 across 2023 and 2024, as it played host to a string of high-profile productions. With all the recent Hertfordshire studio openings - including the massive Sky Studios in Elstree just down the road - we at Canonbury Antiques are well located for all your film prop sourcing and hire needs.
A landmark of classical design in Hertford - the county capital - County Hall's period charm and grand interiors have attracted major platforms including Netflix, ITV, and Apple TV. Among the highlights is the upcoming third season of Silo, a dystopian drama starring Tim Robbins and Rebecca Ferguson. Although previous seasons unfolded in a post-apocalyptic bunker, the new series ventures into the origins of the silo—bringing County Hall’s stately architecture into the spotlight.

These shoots alone brought in nearly £165,000 in location fees, reflecting the venue’s appeal as a ready-made period set.
It’s a reminder of how enduring design—like the antiques we champion—never goes out of style. Whether it's a bronze fountain in a formal garden or a Georgian sideboard in a stately interior, heritage brings atmosphere that modern design simply can't replicate. Our large Hertfordshire showroom - just outside Potters Bar where the A1 meets the M25 - is well located for all your film hire needs and is open to the public. We have hired out our goods to numerous film and TV productions so please get in touch if you would like to make an appointment.
