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.

My children attended their film making workshops. What a great time they had! The crew members were fantastic, especially Bea, who has got excellent attitude towards children and tons of patience. I really recommend them, if you are looking for some quality workshops for your children.

I work at Cystic Fibrosis Trust and we are delighted with the animation Chocolate Films created for us. It met the brief and has helped us to explain our activities to current and future partners. Chocolate Films were a pleasure to work with and we appreciated their flexibility in working to a very tight timescale.

Great working with Chocolate Films and the team for our new program. Nikita was a great point of content and we had a blast at the filming studio with everyone. Thank you everyone for your work on this project!

We commissioned Chocolate films to complete a BTS film as a promotional film for our Level 4 foundation course. We were out on location with our own 3 short films with our most senior students, and we needed an extra crew to capture all that was happening on set. They were thoughtful, efficient and proactive. Capturing some great interviews and BTS (thanks Elton!), weaving it into a great promotional film for us. Lucia steered the project beautifully from start to finish (thanks Nikita too). We’ve worked with Chocolate films before and would happily do so in the future. Chloe – London Screen Academy

I filmed a green screen production using sound and it came out great. Lucia and Nikka are lovely and happy to help, the facilities are exactly what I needed (there’s also a make-up room) and it was easy to get to.

Chocolate films produced a fun promotional video for us as part of our 80th anniversary. They were professional with clear communication, and the project was delivered to time.

The video content creation workshop offered by Chocolate Films was incredibly useful, packed full of handy tips on how to create compelling videos with the minimum equipment and time! The space is great and the team were welcoming, generous with their knowledge and clearly enthusiastic about what they do.
HUGE round of applause for the Chocolate Films team! We attended their ‘Using Video for Business’ Workshop, which they so kindly offered free of charge for local businesses in the Wandsworth area. Hosted at their lovely new Nine Elms studio space, we had a great morning of learning, chatting over tea and coffee. They are a really delightful and organised company that we hope to work with going forward, and we would love to see the team at one of our cookery classes one day! Ax

I joined other small business owners, founders and entrepreneurs for a morning workshop on how to create content, shoot and edit footage. The studio was so welcoming and the team gave some fantastic advice whether it was your first foray into film making or had been trying for a while but stuck with certain elements. The workshop was fun, enjoyable and informative with a good balance between information and hands on practice. They made something quite complex seem very accessable. The teams enthusiasm for their craft is infectious.
