Straight answers

What does music video studio hire london cost at Scope?
Studio A starts at £160. Studio B starts at £120. Music Studio starts at £80. Set-up and pack-down are inside your booked time.
Can I shoot the video and record the track in one building?
Yes. A drive-in cove, a colour-washable cove and a treated music studio are all under one roof, so the shoot and the session can run back to back.
Can I take the whole building for a video?
A full buyout gives you the building to yourself for the day — Studio A, Studio B, the podcast room, the music studio, the workshop, the kitchen, the dressing room and the parking, with nobody else on site. The DJ room is the one room outside a buyout and is booked separately; say so and we will hold it alongside.
