London remains one of the most exciting cities in the world for photography. From fashion campaigns and beauty editorials to content days and large productions, there is a constant need for flexible, well-equipped studio spaces.
Shootfactory represents a growing collection of photography studios and photo shoot locations across the capital. For 2026, the studio line-up includes 10 fresh options across London, each with its own character, layout, and lighting.
Whether you are planning stills, social content, TV, or a mix of all three, these studios offer a strong choice of daylight, blackout control, lifestyle sets, and drive-in access. Every space featured below is available to hire through Shootfactory’s photographic studios collection.
Our London location agency has a carefully chosen library of residential locations, photographic studios and industrial spaces. The studio category focuses on photo shoot studios suited to fashion, interiors, portraiture, beauty, and commercial work, as well as filming and events.
Working through a location agency brings practical benefits for production. The Shootfactory team knows what crews need from a studio day, from power and parking through to access notes and client areas. Instead of approaching multiple studios separately, you can use a single point of contact to shortlist options, check availability, and support the booking.
The studios below offer a wide range of photo shoot locations across London. There are bright glasshouse studios, characterful warehouses, lifestyle-focused spaces, kitchen studios, and full-production hubs with drive-in access.
All of them sit within easy reach of central London through public transport or key road links, which helps crews, clients, and kit arrive smoothly.

Palm London is a 900 square foot purpose-built studio space set inside a glasshouse. The space offers 360-degree daylight, providing soft, even light for much of the day and the freedom to track the sun’s movement. Access is straightforward, with double doors and no steps, which makes load-in far easier for larger shoots.
The studio is split into two main areas. The daylight studio includes a portable cove, ideal for following the light and adjusting angles throughout the day. The second area is a fixed cove with blackout curtains so that you can move from natural light to controlled lighting setups during the same booking. This flexibility suits both stills and motion, and helps teams make the most of a single studio day.
Palm London is set within a five-acre commercial nursery. There are planted areas, planted walls and a Victorian lean-to, all of which can add a green backdrop or natural texture to your images. Plants from the nursery can be brought into the studio, and larger specimens can be moved with plant machinery by arrangement.
A cottage on site provides a calm space for a green room, client holding or hair and makeup. It is a valuable extra if you are working with larger casts or need a quiet area for talent between setups.
Location: London N16
Studio Sketo is a compact, characterful photography studio in Dalston, set within the Stamford Works building. The studio is around 75 square metres, with a five-metre ceiling height, creating a real sense of volume and room to frame full-length looks.
Four large windows and additional skylights bring generous daylight into the studio. Remote-controlled blackouts on the skylights let you adjust contrast when needed, so it works well for both daylight shoots and more controlled lighting setups. The location is convenient for transport, with Dalston Kingsland Overground station about three minutes on foot and Dalston Junction about ten minutes.
A small kitchenette supports longer shoot days, with a kettle, cutlery, a coffee machine, and a refrigerator already in place. The simple hardwood floors and clean finishes give you a neutral base for portrait sessions, lookbook shoots, and content creation, while still feeling warm and lived-in.
Campbell is a bright warehouse-style studio in the middle of Dalston. The space combines a high vaulted ceiling with steel A-frame rafters, white brick walls, and wood-panelled sections, giving you a good range of backgrounds in a single studio.
Two rows of skylight windows bring in strong natural light throughout the day. These can be blacked out partly or entirely, which is helpful for flash-heavy setups or filming. The studio also provides drive-in access, so vehicles, large set pieces or bigger props can be brought straight into the shooting area.
Campbell includes a generous lounge and client zone, an open-plan kitchen and a styling area with everything a team usually needs. There are props and tables on site, Wi Fi, and nearby parking. Local catering can accommodate any dietary requirements, and rental equipment can be arranged at short notice, keeping production nimble.
Location: London SW18
Down To Earth offers two floors of studio space with high ceilings and a modern, lifestyle-focused feel. It brings together styled sets, soft furnishings, and traditional photography backdrops that work well for personal branding, products, still life, and fashion content.
The ground floor balances lifestyle settings with a more classic studio approach. There are camel-toned armchairs, a full-length walnut mirror, and real marble accent pieces, along with extra seating that matches the available colour backdrops as an add-on. A clothing rail and moveable trolley make it simple to move the wardrobe, props and photography kit around the space.
Upstairs, you will find an elegant office-style arrangement with a walnut dining or desk table, a cream boucle chair and considered decor. The staircase can also serve as an additional backdrop for portraits or detail shots. A coffee corner in this space includes a Nespresso machine, a kettle, bottled water, snacks, and dinnerware, keeping the crew refreshed.
Location: London E5
Andor Studio sits in a former Victorian tram depot and retains much of its original character. A glass-pitched roof and large Crittall-style windows bring in generous daylight, while the space can also be fully blacked out if required.
The studio features exposed brick, white brick walls, distressed concrete surfaces and original pine beams. A double-height shooting area provides room for larger sets, wider frames, and more ambitious lighting plans. Rolling walls and a bank of props support a wide variety of looks in one studio day.
Andor includes a fully functioning kitchen, which makes it a strong choice for food photography and motion, as well as a licensed bar, a viewing gallery and a client zone. Shower and bath facilities support longer productions or beauty and skincare work. There is also access to a communal shooting area that leads out to the original Victorian cobbled yard and warehouse exteriors, perfect for adding an outdoor sequence to the schedule.
Luxe is a daylight photography studio spread across two floors of a Victorian building in South West London. The overall look is clean, modern and neutral, which suits personal branding shoots, fashion campaigns and polished content days.
The studio is arranged with several lifestyle setups, each with its own mix of furnishings and background. This lets you cover multiple scenes in one day, from relaxed lounge setups to more formal seated portraits, without needing a complete set build. Natural light adds softness and clarity throughout.
Facilities at Luxe include a dedicated hair and beauty station, steamer and clothes rail, plus a fitting room and storage area for wardrobe and equipment. A fully equipped kitchen offers premium teas, coffee, snacks and bubbly, so you can keep the atmosphere relaxed and celebratory for both clients and talent. A studio assistant remains on hand throughout the booking, working discreetly to provide your team with support when needed.
Location: London E17
Stow Studio is a 2,700 square foot production studio with a flexible layout that works for both intimate editorial shoots and larger commercial projects. It combines industrial touches with practical features required for modern productions.
Large Crittall windows and skylights flood the studio with daylight, while blackout curtains let you switch to a lighting plan whenever you need to. The space includes a sizeable white stage measuring approximately 6.5 metres by 3.5 metres, three-phase power, and ultra-fast Wi-Fi.
For crew comfort, Stow offers a private hair and makeup area, a full kitchen and shower facilities. Direct drive access and on-site parking for up to three vehicles make logistics smoother, especially for larger teams. An on-site prop house offers a curated selection of vintage design pieces available to hire, ideal for elevating sets without a complete prop build.
Location: London N1
Paper Loft is a bright, character-filled studio on the upper floor of Paper Mill. Original wooden floors, exposed brickwork and a high-pitched ceiling give it a warm, textural look that works very well for lifestyle photography and film.
Natural light pours in through large industrial windows and skylights, creating an airy, open feel that flatters both people and product.
On the ground floor of the building, you will find a fully functioning kitchen studio that doubles as a location apartment. It includes a fridge freezer, dishwasher, hob, oven, microwave and a large central island that can be repositioned. This makes it a strong choice for food photography, recipe videos, brand activations and intimate dining events.
Paper Loft is designed with flexibility in mind. It suits photography and film shoots, workshops, pop-ups and smaller events. Furniture and decor have been carefully chosen to look stylish on camera while still feeling neutral enough for brands to make the space their own. A mezzanine level includes a dedicated bathroom for added privacy.
Location: London W10
White Building is a third-floor studio of approximately 4,500 square feet, with high ceilings and a dramatic double-height, pitched roof. Exposed beams and glazing give a strong architectural feel that reads very well on camera.
The studio offers generous open areas alongside more defined sections, providing scope for both large sets and simple, graphic compositions. A goods lift opens directly at ground level, making loading equipment, flats, and props much more manageable for production teams.
Private parking can be booked in advance on a first-come, first-served basis, and there is ample street parking nearby via pay-and-display. The combination of scale, access and ceiling height suits large fashion productions, set builds and commercial shoots that need room to move.
Location: London NW10
Modular Studio is a 2,300 square foot ground floor studio set in a former light bulb factory in Park Royal. The space benefits from generous daylight through west-facing reconditioned windows, with blackout blinds available for more controlled setups.
Patina concrete floors and original industrial details provide a textured backdrop for both stills and film. One of the key features is a townhouse-style set, with a subtle greyed parquet floor, a tall Georgian window with original glass, and a marble fireplace mounted on pads so it can be moved within the set area.
The studio will usually only consider dismantling the townhouse set for studio hires of one week or more, which is worth bearing in mind for larger productions.
Modular Studio is well-suited to fashion work, interiors campaigns and projects that need both a raw industrial feel and a more refined residential look in one booking. The flexible set configuration allows creative teams to adjust the environment without requiring a complete relocation.
London offers a rich mix of photography studios and studio spaces, so it helps to match the brief carefully to the features of each location. Natural light studios such as Palm London, Studio Sketo and Paper Loft tend to suit portraiture, fashion, editorial and content where a soft, authentic feel is essential.
Warehouse studios like Campbell, Andor, Stow, White Building and Modular Studio are excellent for sets, builds and technical lighting. High ceilings, strong structural lines, and drive-in access provide greater freedom for rigging, large props, and ambitious camera moves.
Lifestyle-focused studios, including Down To Earth and Luxe, are ideal for content days, social campaigns and branding shoots, as you can move between several styled scenes without significant changes to the set.
Practical details should also guide your choice. Transport links, parking, loading access and lift availability all affect the flow of the day. Client areas, kitchens, prop access and nearby catering options can make a noticeable difference to comfort and productivity, especially on longer bookings.
Budget and time planning should allow for set dressing, styling, pre-light, and de-rig periods. It is often better to book a full day in a studio that truly fits the job, rather than squeeze a complex brief into a shorter window.
Booking through Shootfactory keeps the process organised. You can share a brief that includes dates, timings, crew size, content type and usage, along with any preferred parts of London. The team can then suggest photo shoot studios that suit your project, including the ten new options listed here and many others in the broader library.
Ahead of the shoot, Shootfactory can assist with recce information, reference images, notes on access and any special considerations for neighbours or building management. On the day itself, communication runs through the studio or host contact, with clear instructions in place to ensure arrivals, deliveries, and wrap are as smooth as possible.
You can also browse the dedicated photographic studios category on the Shootfactory site to view further studio spaces across London and the rest of the UK.
Q: Do These Studios Work For Both Stills And Film
Most of the studios featured here work well for both photography and filming. Features such as three-phase power, blackout options, drive-in access, and kitchens make them suitable for motion as well as stills. Always confirm specific technical requirements with the Shootfactory team and the studio before booking.
Q: Can Sets and Props Be Brought Into the Studio
Yes, sets and props can usually be brought into these spaces, especially those with drive-in access or goods lifts such as Campbell, Stow, White Building and Modular Studio. Some studios, such as Modular Studio with its townhouse set, have conditions around altering existing sets, so it is essential to check any restrictions in advance.
Q: Are Backdrops And Colorama Included
Several studios provide backdrops or Colorama either as part of the hire or as an extra charge, as seen with Down to Earth. Availability and colours vary from studio to studio, so any specific backdrop needs should be shared at the enquiry stage.
Q: What About Crew Sizes And Overtime
Each studio has its own guidelines on maximum crew numbers, standard booking times and overtime rates. Sharing accurate information about your team size and schedule helps Shootfactory and the studio advise on the most suitable space and any costs for early access or extended hours.
Q: Do I Need Insurance
Production insurance and public liability cover are usually expected for professional shoots. Levels of cover can differ between buildings and landlords, so you should confirm requirements before confirming the booking.
London’s photography studios continue to grow in range and quality, and the ten new studios for 2026 add even more choice for producers, photographers and creative teams. From glasshouse daylight studios and leafy nurseries to industrial warehouses, kitchen studios and lifestyle apartments, there is a studio space here for almost every kind of brief.
