Studio hire · South London
What are you making?
Six rooms in one building off Paulet Road. Pick the job and we will tell you which room does it — including when the honest answer is that we are not the right studio for it.
Every price is on the rate card, and the rooms themselves are on the spaces page. If the job is a film, an advert, an interview or anything else with a crew, start from film and video production, which puts the whole family on one page. Agencies, production companies, news and TV teams and brand teams have their own page.
- 01Drive-in Car Shoot Studio Hire LondonA studio you can drive into.Most London studios stop at whatever fits through a fire door. Studio A does not — the cove is drive-in, so the vehicle comes to the light instead of the other way round.
- 02Photography Studio Hire LondonTwo coves, one building.A big white room for scale and a smaller sound-treated one that takes colour — booked together or separately, in the same building, on the same day.
- 03Film Studio Hire LondonA small stage, honestly sized.This is not a sound stage with a grid over it, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It is a 1,200 sq ft room with a drive-in white cove, a sound-treated room, a music studio and a workshop that doubles as a production office — a whole small unit in SE5 that one production can take over for the day.
- 04Commercial Shoot Studio LondonThirty seconds, built in a day.Adverts are made against the clock: a product, a presenter or a car, a handful of set-ups, and a client in the lounge waiting to see the frame. Studio A gives the commercial its seamless white and its scale, Studio B gives the dialogue and the pack shot a quiet, colour-washable room, and the whole building can be yours for a closed set.
- 05Interview Filming Studio LondonSay it once. It records clean.A talking-head interview lives or dies on two things that have nothing to do with the questions: whether the room is quiet and whether the light stays put for the hour it takes. Studio B was built as a room within a room for exactly that, the podcast room does the camera-ready conversation by the hour, and Studio A takes the multi-camera set-up that needs more floor.
- 06Short Film Studio Hire LondonBuild the interior. Own the light.A short lives in its interiors, and the interiors you cannot find on location you build here: a flat, a cell, a kitchen at three in the morning — in a room that blacks out so the night scene is lit from black rather than negotiated with the sun. Dialogue goes to the sound-treated room, ADR to the vocal booth, and nothing is written off because a plane went over.
- 07Green Screen Studio Hire LondonKey it on set, not in the edit.A clean key is made on the day: an evenly lit screen, a subject standing well off it, and a room where you control every other photon. Studio A is the room at Scope used for green screen work — 1,200 sq ft, full blackout, a drive-in cove — and the only thing to settle before you book is whether you are bringing the screen or asking us to supply it.
- 08Corporate Video Studio LondonThe company, on camera, without the fuss.Most corporate video is one of four things: a leadership message, an expert interview, a training module or a piece for the company's channels. All four want a quiet, consistent room where a non-actor can relax and the take is usable the first time — and a building where the client can wait, eat and get touched up between set-ups.
- 09Set Build Studio Hire LondonBring the set in through the roller door.A set build wants three things from a studio: floor to build on, a door the flats fit through, and a wall of white to shoot against when the build stops. Studio A has 1,200 sq ft, a roller door at ground level off the yard, and a white drive-in infinity cove along the length of the room.
- 10Production Office & Edit Suite Hire LondonTwenty seats, ten Macs, one quiet room.Every shoot needs the room nobody films in: where the call sheet gets rewritten, the client takes a call and the editor pulls selects while the floor is still rolling. The workshop room is that room — twenty seats and ten iMac workstations — and Studio B carries its own edit and playback area for reviewing on set.
- 11Fashion Film Studio Hire LondonThe lookbook, moving.A fashion film is the lookbook with the stillness taken out: the walk, the turn, the fabric catching the light for two seconds longer than a photograph allows. Studio A gives the campaign its seamless white at scale, Studio B gives each look a different colour wash with a make-up zone beside the set, and both black out so the light on the last look is the light on the first.
- 12Dance Video Studio Hire LondonRoom to move. Dark enough to light.Choreography needs floor, and a performance piece needs a room where the light is a decision rather than a weather report. Studio A is 1,200 sq ft with full blackout curtains and a white drive-in cove behind the dancers; Studio B is the sound-treated room whose cove takes colour, for the single performer and the piece that is lit as much as it is danced.
- 13Live Session Video Studio LondonOne take, filmed and recorded.A live session is a promise to the audience that the band played it once and that is what you are hearing. It needs a room quiet enough to record in and good enough to look at. Studio B is built as a room within a room with a cove that takes colour; the music studio tracks the engineered version in the same building; and the DJ room films a set with the lighting already rigged.
- 14Livestream Studio Hire LondonGo live from a room built to be filmed.A livestream forgives nothing: there is no second take and no edit to hide the hum. The podcast room is camera-ready and treated, by the hour; Studio B is a sound-treated room within a room with a cove that takes colour; and the DJ room is built so a set can be filmed or streamed with the lighting already rigged. The encoder and the cameras are yours.
- 15Casting Studio Hire LondonTwenty seats, one door, nobody in the corridor.A casting day is a waiting room and a quiet room, run on a schedule that slips. The workshop room seats twenty and runs as a casting room; the client lounge in the same building holds the people who are next; and Studio B is in the same building when a read has to be filmed with sound you can send to the director that evening.
- 16Documentary Interview Studio LondonShot in March. Matches the one from June.Documentary contributors never arrive together. One is free in March, one in June, one the week before the edit locks, and the film has to cut as if they sat down on the same afternoon. Studio B is a blackout room within a room, so the set-up is repeatable and the sound is clean each time; the podcast room takes the audio-led contributor by the hour; and Studio A takes the dressed-set interview that needs floor.
- 17Showreel & Self-tape Studio LondonYour scene, in a room that does not fight you.A self-tape shot against a bedroom wall with the fridge running is a self-tape the casting director notices for the wrong reasons. The podcast room is camera-ready and treated at a flat £40 an hour; Studio B is the sound-treated room for a showreel scene whose dialogue comes back clean; and Studio A is the stage for the scene that needs a set and some distance. You bring the camera, the reader and the lines.
- 18Product Video Studio LondonThe product turns. The background does not.Product video is the stills job with a time axis: the same seamless white, the same unmoving light, but now the product rotates, the lid opens and every reflection has to behave for ten seconds rather than one. Studio B gives it colour and clean sound for the presenter; Studio A gives it scale and a drive-in cove; and the music studio records the voiceover in the same building.
- 19Photo & Video Studio Hire LondonStills and motion, one set-up.The hybrid content day is now the normal day: the campaign stills, the fifteen-second cut and the vertical hook all taken from the same set-up before anyone touches a light. Both coves do it — Studio A at scale on seamless white, Studio B in colour with clean sound — and the podcast room records the audio piece in the same building. A buyout puts a brand sprint under one roof with nobody else in the building.
- 20Media Agency Studio Hire LondonShoot once. Fill every placement.A media plan is a list of placements, and each one wants its own length, its own frame and sometimes its own line of copy. The cheapest place to meet that list is the one day in front of the camera: shot once, in a room that holds its light, with the client able to see the frame before the set is struck. Studio A and Studio B take the hero set-ups, the Podcast Room takes the voiced pieces by the hour, and the Workshop is where the cuts are checked against the list.
- 21Advertising Agency Studio Hire LondonFrom the treatment to the take.A creative team arrives with a treatment and a set of boards and needs a room that does what the boards say. Studio A is 1,200 sq ft of white drive-in cove with blackout, for the hero product, the set build or the car; Studio B takes the performance and the pack shot in a sound-treated, colour-washable room. The voiceover can be recorded in the music studio the same day, in the same building.
- 22Production Company Studio Hire LondonThe stage is a line in the budget.A producer pricing a job needs a stage with a published rate card. Studio A and Studio B sell by the block at published prices, load-in is at ground level from the yard, and the Workshop is the production office with twenty seats and ten iMac workstations. It is a small stage and it says so: the page below sets out what fits and what does not.
- 23Social Media Agency Studio Hire LondonShoot the vertical first. Crop the rest.A social shoot is a volume job: many posts, several looks and a talent who is only there until four. The Podcast Room is camera-ready and treated at a flat £40 an hour, Studio B is a colour-washable cove that changes the look without changing the set, and Studio A has the floor for the day that wants a bigger set. Frame for 9:16 first and work outwards, because a vertical cut from a wide frame throws most of the picture away.
- 24News Video Studio Hire LondonA quiet room, the same light, out by lunch.Online news video wants the same few things every time: a quiet room, a look the audience recognises and an expert who can be in and out inside the hour. Studio B is sound treated and blackout capable, so the room's sound and light stay under your control through the day, and the Podcast Room does the seated guest by the hour. What a hire studio is not is a news gallery: there is no live link here, and this page is built around that.
- 25TV Production Studio Hire LondonA small stage, for the work that fits one.A pilot, a sizzle, a promo or a presenter's link does not need a sound stage; it needs a quiet room, a controlled light and somewhere to look at the take. Studio B is sound treated and blackout capable with a colour-washable cove, Studio A is 1,200 sq ft with a white drive-in cove, and the Workshop is the production office. It is a small stage, not a sound stage: there is no lighting grid and no gallery, and the page below says what that means for the work.
- 26Brand Content Studio Hire LondonYour launch, your team, and the whole building if you need it.An in-house team usually shoots in bursts: a product launch, a season of e-commerce, a leadership message, an all-hands piece. What it needs from a room is control of the light, the sound and who is in the building. Studio B is the controlled room, Studio A takes the product at scale and the Podcast Room does the spoken pieces by the hour; and when the work is not for anyone else's eyes yet, the whole-building day puts nobody else on site.
- 27PR Agency Studio Hire LondonRehearse it on camera. Then record it.A PR day is several small jobs sharing a booking: a spokesperson's statement, a media-training session with mock interviews on playback, the press portraits, a podcast recorded in the afternoon. Studio B is the controlled room for the statement and the portraits, the Workshop holds the training and the briefing, and the Podcast Room records the conversation by the hour.
- 28Infinity Cove Studio Hire LondonTwo coves. One white, one any colour you like.An infinity cove is a curved corner with no seam in it, so the background falls away and the subject sits in nothing. We have two, and they are not interchangeable — one is white and big enough to drive into, the other takes colour and holds sound.
- 29DJ Studio Hire LondonA booth built to be filmed.Most rooms sold as DJ studios in London are practice booths — a soundproofed box, one fixed light, an hourly rate designed for getting your mixing tight. This is not that. It is a room built so the set is worth watching, with the lighting already rigged and a concrete booth that reads on camera as architecture.
- 30Podcast Studio Hire LondonTurn up and record.A room that already looks and sounds like a podcast, so the hour you booked goes on recording rather than on building a set and taming a room that were never meant for talk.
- 31Blackout Studio Hire LondonKill the daylight. Own every photon.A blackout studio is not a dark room. It is a room where nothing arrives that you did not put there — no window, no weather, no hour of the day. Both of ours do it.
- 32Music Video Studio Hire LondonShoot it and cut the record in the same building.The video, the stills and the session do not have to be three bookings in three postcodes.
- 33Recording Studio Hire LondonThe music studio. A booth, a desk, an engineer if you want one.Book it dry and run it yourself, or put an engineer on the desk. Neither has to be a full day.
- 34Voiceover Booth Hire LondonA booth for the voice alone.Voiceover is the least forgiving thing you can record: no music to hide behind, no picture to carry the ear. It wants a booth that adds nothing — and a bigger room for the reads that come with a body attached.
- 35Workshop & Class Space Hire LondonTwenty seats and ten iMacs.A bright working room that runs as a classroom, an edit suite, a casting space or a production office depending on the week.
- 36Product Photography Studio LondonThe fortieth SKU matches the first.Product work does not need a big room, it needs a controlled one — a background with no seam and light that behaves the same for the last SKU as the first.
- 37Headshot Studio LondonNothing changes between sitters.One portrait is a sitting. Twelve people who need to look like they belong on the same page is a production — and it wants a room where the set never moves.
- 38Video Studio Hire LondonControlled light, clean sound.The two things that sink a video day are light you cannot control and sound you cannot use. Book a room built to remove both.
- 39Studio Hire South LondonSix rooms, one unit, south of the river.One 4,000 sq ft unit off Paulet Road in SE5, on the Southwark and Lambeth border: two coves, a DJ room, a podcast room, a music studio and a workshop. Park in the yard, come in through the roller door, and book one room or the whole building.
- 40Content Creation Studio Hire LondonMany looks, one booking.A content day is not one shot, it is thirty assets for four platforms before the light changes. Studio B is built for that: a cyclorama that takes a new colour instead of a new set, and a sound-treated room so the talking-head take is usable as recorded. From £120 for two hours.
