BAFTA and how to get there
The Academy was formed on 16 April 1947 when a group of the most eminent names in the British film production industry gathered in a room at the Hyde Park Hotel. The great film director David Lean was appointed Chairman. Their fundamental aim was "to recognise those who had contributed outstanding creative work towards the advancement of British film."
Nowadays the British Academy of Film and Television Arts supports, develops and promotes the artforms of the moving image, by identifying and rewarding excellence, inspiring practitioners and benefiting the public.
The promotion of excellence isn't something that only happens at Awards ceremonies. There is an equally powerful role that the Academy plays at its headquarters at 195 Piccadilly and across its nations and regions, in cinemas, schools and communities in the UK and US.
The Academy's full address is 195 Piccadilly, London W1J 9LN.
The nearest tube stations are Piccadilly Circus and Green Park.
