Yes - and no plans to change anything at present.

Yes. Rates for non-commercial shoots are available at a much reduced price with the stipulation that payment is made on the day. Please check the Rates for current prices.

No. Everything is on the rates and rental pages. You are paying for the studio hire - extras would be background paper (charged by the metre if you use a sweep - drops are free), lighting hire and/or overtime.

NOTE: There is an additional charge for the use of continuous lighting as noted on the Equipment Rental page.

There is plenty of very cheap on-street parking - currently £2.80 for 9 hours.

Please note that the signs above the bays say you can only park for two hours. This is wrong. The machines are correct and traffic wardens will not fine you if you have a valid ticket.

However, your best bet is to use the secure car park where you can park all day for £3.00 just 100m away - see Directions page for details.

Manor House - that's the next stop after Finsbury Park on the Piccadilly Line (though you can use the Victoria Line to get to Finsbury Park and walk across to the adjoining platform for the Piccadilly Line).

There is also a frequent overground service from Liverpool Street Station that stops at Stamford Hill Station which is only a short walk away.

No, this is the responsibility of the person hiring the studio and any breakages must be paid for.

No, there are three ring-mains circuits so quite a lot is possible but heavy-duty HMIs would unfortunately trip the circuits.

The studio has a small kitchen with an oven, a fridge and a large selection of cups, glasses, plates, etc.

The Florentia Village Café is two minutes walk away and there are various eateries that can deliver. Directions to the nearest supermarkets can be found on the directions page.

A changing mix, but we keep the basics in stock.

No.

Yes, one of the Bowens jetstream ones and at present it is included in the rental price - but do be careful that it doesn't knock anything over please.

There is a light wood laminate over the whole surface.

Well, so long as you remember that you are in London rather than Cape Town, it is pretty good. There are three large windows facing south-west and skylights along the length of the roof.

Yes. The skylights have electric blackout blinds, there are velcro blinds for the side windows and a sliding panel goes over the ventilation fans. You can get the studio blacked out in a matter of minutes.

Music videos and film can be shot here as it can be blacked out. You will know your requirements better than I do. However, there are two things to note: it is not sound-proofed and would not be suitable if you are intending to record sound, and it does not feature three-phase power so the 10K HMI will have to go elsewhere. On the positive side, there are three ring mains to use, so with a bit of ingenuity and care you should be able to manage it if your lighting requirements are not excessive.

It belongs to Nick White. He is a professional photographer working mainly within the stock industry.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

There are two Sainsbury's close by - one is a three minute walk, the other a short drive with an underground car park. Have a look at the directions page to see how to get there.
