Photography locations in/around London
      #560960 - 29/10/2007 08:03

Hi,

Could anyone point me in the right direction - I'm looking for a location in or around the London area. We're looking for something like:

- Warehouse
- Well-lit flat/apartment/house
- Office space
- Farm

Basically anywhere which is closed off from the public, has a lot of space to work in, and is not too "glossy". Ideally we need some outdoor area, but not essential.

Would be very very grateful if anyone knew of anywhere.

Thanks!

Ha, no!
I'm just looking for a place in London or the surrounding counties to shoot some non-studio shots.

I was thinking of a farm or a big warehouse - something we could do a lot with.

If you have any ideas or any tips on how to find these sort of places (without having to pay a location agency huge amounts of money) I'd be very grateful!

There's the huge old Chambers Wharf and cold store at Shad Thames - basically the last bit of the area that hasn't been turned into flats. I'm afraid I don't have any contact info, but it shouldn't be too hard to track down. It's very atmospheric.

Hi Slim,

You may want to note the posting dates before replying to messages.

This user has only posted twice and they were both on the 29th October 2007. Since then they haven't been back.

Regards,

Nope! I'm still here.

I didn't get a response for a while so I thought there wasn't too many locations out there.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I tried some of the location agencies but they're charging massive astronomical figures.

All I'm really after is someone that owns a nice house, possibly with a garden or some private land.

Really not sure where to look. I've posted on Gumtree, Craigslist, etc - to no avail.

Any more suggestions would be gratefully received.
