Hire · SE5 9HW, South London · from £120 · open 7 days

Twenty 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.
