British Independent Film Awards 2025: key facts and what to expect from the event

The British Independent Film Awards 2025ceremony will take place on 30 November 2025 at Roundhouse, London (Chalk Farm Rd, Chalk Farm, London NW1 8EH, Великобритания).

Roundhouse is one of London’s architectural landmarks. The building was constructed in 1847 as a railway engine shed for the London and North Western Railway, and later Roundhouse became a notable cultural venue in London. Pink Floyd, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix and many other iconic artists have performed here. Today, Roundhouse attracts tourists with its history, atmosphere, and its status as a prestigious creative space.

Guests of BIFA 2025 can expect the traditional ceremony format:

• the red carpet,
• announcement of winners in the main categories,
• participation of directors, actors, and producers,
• post-event netwrоking,
• presentations of new independent film projects.

Below are the key categories that attract the most interest from viewers and the professional community.

Roundhouse is located in one of London’s busiest districts — Camden. On the day of the ceremony, Camden tends to become noticeably busier than usual. The Underground and bus routes generally run without disruption, although short delays or small timetable adjustments are not uncommon when many guests arrive around the same time. Hailing a taxi in the Chalk Farm and Camden Town areas can also be less straightforward during peak periods, simply because demand increases sharply before and after large events.

This is especially true for those travelling in from Heathrow, Gatwick, or London City Airport in the late afternoon or evening, when traffic and arrivals often peak. For this reason, many attendees prefer to plan their transport in advance — particularly international visitors and guests arriving from other UK cities.
