Our London filming venue is available for hire for filming, photography & promotional events. Built on the site of Charles Dickens' former London home, with plenty of Georgian inspired features, the venue works well as a backdrop for both historical and contemporary productions. We have developed a series of filming & photography shoot options for clients to be able to make the most of our unique period filming location.

Each space has different floor levels and accessibility considerations.
What outdoor filming locations are available at BMA House?
BMA House offers two outdoor spaces: the Courtyard & driveway, and an exclusive botanical Garden. The Garden closes at 22:00 but events can continue in the Garden Room until 23:00. These spaces have been recently made available for filming and provide unique period location options.
What are the booking hold periods and response times?
Enquiries must be confirmed by specific deadlines (example given was 25th June for a July event) or they expire from the system. The venue experiences high enquiry volumes with response times of 1-2 days. Site visits can be arranged during weekdays for viewing spaces.
What accessibility features are available throughout the venue?
The 3rd floor is wheelchair accessible but requires use of a wheelchair lift with weight limitations that may not accommodate electric wheelchairs.

What historical and architectural features make BMA House suitable for period filming?
Built on Charles Dickens' former London home site, the venue features Georgian-inspired architecture designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

BMA House holds Gold Green Tourism accreditation and supports British farmers while requiring suppliers to meet high ethical and sustainability standards. This results in lower carbon footprints for events and productions, making it suitable for environmentally conscious filming projects.
