A love letter to London in one special video.

The London Museum closes its doors

The London Museum is moving to a new location, and it means a goodbye to the museum as we know it. It will reopen under the name London Museum in Smithfield Market in 2026. 

Chocolate Films was commissioned by The London Museum to create a nostalgic video that would cherish the city and thank Londoners for their support over the years. The video is based on a beautiful poem by Courtney Conrad, who also stars and reads the poem out loud in the video. 

The video was well-received and mentioned in Evening Standard with Josh Salisbury calling it a ‘love letter’ to London. 

A poetic film about magical London

Our team wrote the script based on the poem, and the video follows the poem very closely. It takes the audience back to the past and the city’s long history and how the city has been evolving with clips to the future. It’s set in a playful tone and the aim was to capture all of the elements that make London special and loved by many. 

We created the videos in different shapes and sizes to make them accessible and suitable for The Museum of London’s social media platforms.

Chocolate Films' own love letter to London

Years ago, we started a Chocolate Films project, where we wanted to offer people an insight into the lives of Londoners. The project is called 1000 Londoners, and the goal is to create 1000 short documentaries.  

The videos feature people of all ages, religions, interests, races, and incomes. It doesn’t matter whether you are born in London or recently moved to the city. The only thing that matters is that you live here. 

The content showcases London’s culture and its many facets.

Would highly recommend Chocolate Films. The end product was fantastic, they grasped exactly what we wanted straight away and were efficient and professional to work with. All for a great price too.
We had a wonderful experience working with Chocolate Films to create our new Hero Promo Video. They were easy to work with, knowledgable about what worked best, quick to respond to all emails and edits and we got exactly the end result we wanted. We had a fun shoot day and the editing process was super easy. We highly recommend Chocolate Films and would love to work with them again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Chocolate Films on a recent project to make a short film and from start to finish, it was an incredibly positive experience. From working with filmmakers Elton and Philippe on the day of filming, and working with Mary in the pre-planning, and editing afterwards, we were in very capable hands throughout the project. I would very much recommend Chocolate Films and would be delighted if I had the opportunity to work them again.

We worked with Chocolate Films to deliver a live stream for an exhibition, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They handled all aspects of the production, including audio, filming, live streaming, and post-production edits, and everything was delivered to a high standard. The team was incredibly easy to work with, professional, organised, and attentive throughout the process. A special mention goes to Morgan, who was outstanding. She was highly attentive, communicative, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we felt supported at every stage. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chocolate Films to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality streaming and production partner.

Trust Chocolate Films team to deliver on a promise. Having worked with various productions houses, I can vouch that CF has one of the most professional, creative and warm teams that goes above and beyond to deliver. They don't just work to deliver, they excel at what they do. We worked on a health awareness campaign and we were pleased with the outcome as well as the experience. And we look forward to collaborating with them on more upcoming campaigns.

Culture Croydon has had a great experience working with Chocolate Films creating social-first reels and highlights films for our events. The team have been excellent at turning around the content quickly to meet our tight deadlines, and perfectly executing the films to meet the brief.
We worked with Chocolate Films on our rebrand videos and couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was knowledgeable, supportive, and a real pleasure to work with throughout the process. They did an excellent job using video and animation to bring our new brand to life, capturing exactly what we wanted to convey. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a creative and reliable video partner.
