Beautiful space a lot more roomy than expected, Michal was very helpful and kind! He explained how to use the equipment and offered advice 10/10 would recommend :)
Michal was very thorough in explaining everything we needed! He was very helpful and put us at ease. We will be back! Thank you :)
Really beautiful studio with everything you need! Michal was extremely helpful & polite throughout. Would recommend.
Michal is such a great host and looks after the studio wonderfully! It’s well equipped and there’s no such place in this price range in central London! Highly recommend 🤗
We loved how well equipped the studio was, everything we needed was right there for us to use. Alexis was also a great host, helpful, friendly and very organised. We’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend it.
Great venue! Had a small cubby for changing, and plenty of optional equipment. Michal was super helpful getting us set up. Would happily book again :)
Alexis provided me with extra equipment to use during my session, which helped tremendously in capturing the required shots for my client. Alexis was very helpful and communicative throughout the entire hire session.
