From rugged exteriors to polished interiors, Essex has filming locations to match every vision, no matter how ambitious. Need a setting for a high-stakes thriller? A derelict gunpowder mill could be the perfect hideout for your rogue agent. Shooting a period drama? A converted bakehouse with timber beams and exposed brickwork brings authenticity. Maybe your production calls for an eerie woodland where anything could be lurking—there’s a secluded retreat ready for that unsettling scene. Fashion shoot? A sleek studio with controlled lighting and backdrops keeps every detail sharp. Check out our favourite filming spaces here.
