Denham Film Studios (later dubbed Anvil Studios) was a British film production studio operating from 1936 to 1952, founded by Alexander Korda, in Buckinghamshire.
Notable films made at Denham include Brief Encounter and David Lean's Great Expectations. From the 1950s to the 1970s the studio became best known for recording film music, including the scores for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Star Wars.
The studio buildings were demolished in 1981 and the site re-landscaped as a business park; as of 2017 it has been turned over to residential use.
