About this space

Operating just off Lamb’s Conduit Street in the WC1 district, this 1,300-square-foot facility sits inside an early 1900s industrial warehouse. Because of its central positioning near King’s Cross, Holborn, and Covent Garden, the site acts as an easily accessible base for London-based crews, agencies, and visiting cast members.

Interior Architecture & Primary Uses
The open-concept room utilizes large windows for heavy natural daylight and features completely restored original floorboards. Event organizers and photographers regularly book the footprint for:

Commercial model shoots and wardrobe fittings
Agency campaign castings
Brand product launches and media previews
Fashion Week designer showrooms

Production Infrastructure
To keep shoots and events running on schedule, the layout incorporates specific prep zones. Your team receives direct access to a private changing room, a built-in kitchenette, standard washroom facilities, and a specialized hair and makeup station equipped with a professional Hollywood vanity mirror.
