Frequently asked questions
What are the hire rates for filming and photography in the Senate House Film and Photo space?
The venue offers filming rates but specific pricing is not detailed in available information. Contact the Event Sales Manager at 0207 660 8177 or uolevents@london.ac.uk for current filming rates and photography session pricing. Budget examples from enquiries show filming projects ranging from £1,000-£2,000 per day.
What is the capacity and seating configuration for the Film and Photo space?
The Senate House Film and Photo space accommodates up to 80 people in a fixed theatre-style configuration with authentic wood panelling. The space features court room styling with fixed seating that cannot be reconfigured, making it ideal for courtroom filming scenarios and formal presentations.
What are the operating hours and earliest access times for filming setup?
The venue cannot accommodate access before 08:00. Standard venue hours appear to run from 08:00-18:00, though specific filming access times and late evening availability would need to be confirmed directly with the venue for your production schedule.
What AV equipment is included with the Film and Photo space hire?
Standard AV package includes LCD projector, screen, laptop/PC, internet access, and up to 3 microphones. For additional filming equipment beyond the standard package, you must contact ConferenceCast/Torpedo, the venue's approved AV provider, for specialized lighting, camera equipment, or enhanced sound systems.
Are there restrictions on filming equipment, lighting, or crew size?
Specific equipment restrictions are not detailed in available information. The space can accommodate crews of around 30 people based on enquiry examples, but lighting restrictions, power limitations, and equipment setup requirements must be confirmed directly with the venue during booking.
What is the booking process and how far in advance should I book?
Complete the attached events application and due diligence forms for review and approval before booking confirmation. The venue requires these forms to assign a dedicated event manager and provide accurate quotes. Book well in advance as availability is limited, particularly during peak periods.
Can I bring external catering or vendors for filming productions?
External vendor policies are not specified in available information. The venue works with Gather and Gather for hospitality services, but arrangements for external catering during filming productions would need to be discussed directly with the venue management during the booking process.
What makes this space particularly suitable for courtroom filming?
The Senate House features authentic wood panelling and court room styling with fixed theatre-style seating that creates an authentic legal setting. The space offers natural daylight and the formal, traditional architecture provides the perfect backdrop for courtroom scenes and legal drama productions.
Is parking available for film crews and equipment vehicles?
Parking arrangements are not detailed in available information. Given the central London location in Bloomsbury near excellent transport links, parking for crew vehicles and equipment trucks would need to be arranged separately and confirmed with the venue during booking.
What are the payment terms and cancellation policies for filming bookings?
Specific payment terms and cancellation policies are not detailed in available information. These important booking conditions, including deposit requirements, payment schedules, and cancellation deadlines, must be confirmed directly with the Event Sales Manager during the booking process.
