About Smashy Owl Blackout Arch

Smashy Owl Blackout Arch is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Smashy Owl Blackout Arch is a fully blackout photography, film and content studio inside a converted railway arch in SE5, South London, a few minutes from Oval station and a short hop from Camberwell, Elephant & Castle and central London.

It is the sister location to the Smashy Owl Penthouse (just 0.5 miles away), run by Smashy Owl Studios: a creative location hire business with nearly 20 years in the creative industry, 500+ five-star reviews across platforms and winner of the Peerspace Open Door Awards 2026.

The arch is roughly 7.5m wide x 14.5m long with a 4.5m ceiling (approx. 1,200 sq ft), with street-level access and drive-in vehicle access by arrangement. Inside you'll find multiple built-in sets in one flowing space: a huge 3m x 3m white Colorama, a working black baby grand piano, a 10m illuminated neon catwalk, an illuminated speaker wall, a gold throne and heart arch, a dance pole and lollipop aerial hoop, a UV-reactive graffiti wall, a glossy black reflective floor, mirror, plus RGB, UV and colour-changing lighting.

A professional photo/video lighting package (continuous LED, battery and studio strobes, softboxes, triggers and creative RGB/UV lights) is included in the standard hire.

Perfect for music videos, fashion and editorial, e-commerce, campaigns, portraits and model portfolios, automotive shoots, interviews, podcasts, showreels, student films and social content.

Please note: this is a location hire studio. Clients bring their own crew; we can recommend photographers, models and crew from our network once you've booked.
