Gallery
Gallery would be an ideal space to be used as a film and photo location. The large and open 125sm of floor space mean that there is more than enough space for all the equipment and crew required for this type of use. Additionally it is a blank canvas upon which you are able to adjust to your needs. The location is at the back of our building which means that it is away from the interference of street noise. Additional spaces or a whole building hire are options that will provide you with storage locations, dressing rooms and alternative film and photo areas as needed.
