About this space

Overview & Location
Situated in Camberwell, just a short distance from Elephant & Castle, this railway arch workspace is operated by an active commercial photographer. The booking model is built on transparency: all standard lighting equipment is rolled into the base rate. You gain access to multiple staging areas and top-tier gear without the hassle of extra rental forms.

Important Audio Notice: Because the building is a functioning railway arch, train noise is frequent. This location works perfectly for photography, B-roll, and music videos, but is not recommended for capturing clean, long-form dialogue.

Provided Photography Gear (Flash)

Flash Heads: 8 Godox Pro units (including the AD600 Pro, AD400 Pro, AD300 Pro, and AD200 Pro).

Camera Triggers: Ready for Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Fuji systems.

Modifiers: A massive selection featuring a 120cm octobox, 90cm parabolic, beauty dish, fresnel spot, snoot, grids, umbrellas, strip boxes, and standard softboxes.

Provided Video Gear (Continuous)

Lighting Units: 14 different continuous fixtures, including LED panels, spotlights, and RGB spots.

Compatibility: All video lights feature standard Bowens mounts.

Extras: A selection of color gels is kept on-site.

Props, Sets, & Upgrades
Mix and match our colored paper backdrops and staging props to build distinct looks during your session. If your project involves heavy rigging or complex lighting adjustments, you can hire the host for hands-on "Lighting Assist" directly at checkout. Specialized green screen equipment and complete blackout setups are also available as paid extras.

Building Amenities
Load your gear straight through the street-level entrance. Inside, your cast and crew have access to a private changing room, a bathroom, and a kitchen area.

Host Reliability
Robbie maintains a 5.0-star rating after more than 40 successful rentals and generally replies to new inquiries within eight hours.

Robbie was very helpful while we were shooting and we got some really good shots. There were loads of props available and all the equipment we needed. Will definitely be booking again

The venue was very well equipped and decent size (more sizeable than it seems in the pictures). Robbie was punctual, affable, attentive and helpful throughout the day. He was committed to helping us get the lighting and setups we needed for our shoot, even providing set dressing when possible. Highly recommended.

Photo Shoot · 2 guests · November 2023
Robbie is extremely helpful - he assisted with lights and gave us many options we could explore to enhance our image composition. He had every utensil and tool to assist with the shoot as well. The studio also has lots of props, backgrounds, and equipment which allowed us to experiment more. The walls are quite high and the location is spacious.
The only issue with the location was accessibility getting there via train. There are accessible bus routes but no nearby stations. There is also the occasional rumble from the trains above which didn’t affect our photoshoot, but would make video and sound recording harder.
