A daylight photo studio in Old Street, available by the day

South-facing daylight through arched windows, 3.5 m ceilings, and 250 m² of open-plan floor — no ceiling grid, no visible fixtures. The architecture does the set dressing; editorial and commercial briefs both land without a paper roll.

Practical wins that London photographers care about: goods lift for heavy kit, private entrance so no public foot traffic walks into a fitting, and Old Street station four minutes away.

Why photographers book here

01

Daylight without compromise

South-facing windows hold the light from breakfast through golden hour. The same exposure all day means your colour temperature doesn't drift between the first frame and the last.

02

Easy load-in

A goods lift opens onto the floor. A private entrance keeps your kit, your team, and your client out of any public foot traffic.

03

Architecture as backdrop

Exposed brickwork, concrete columns, and arched steel windows. You don't need a paper backdrop unless you want one. Every corner reads as a set.

04

Terrace access

Step outside for 35 m² of south-facing terrace. Exterior frames without packing the truck and moving locations.
