South London offers a brilliant mix of studios that work hard for photographers, filmmakers and production teams of all kinds. Whether you’re looking for a blank canvas for a full build or a ready-to-go kitchen location, this side of the river provides both versatility and style. At The Location Guys, we’ve spent plenty of time in these studios. They’re spaces we return to with confidence and would happily recommend.
Warehouse Kitchen, SE18
Built for Shoots and Styled to Impress
This studio feels like a production team’s wish list brought to life. With diffused crittall windows, two movable kitchen islands and a fully equipped kitchen, it’s a natural fit for food and cookery shoots. At the far end, a white infinity cove transforms the space into a cyclorama studio, complete with in-built lighting, high ceilings, and blackout options ready for use. The on-site team can quickly adjust the setup, and the sound-treated space, equipped with high-speed internet, is ideal for live streaming or editorial content.
Green Screen Studio, SE18
A Specialist Studio that Just Works
For projects that involve chroma key compositing, this green screen studio takes care of the technical requirements. The whole ‘U’shaped cove is pre-lit with Kino lighting and offers plenty of headroom for jib arms, track setups, or camera rigs. It includes a kitchenette, climate control, and blackout facilities, all of which help keep things running smoothly. Whether you’re filming a presenter piece or setting up motion capture, this studio is ready from the moment you arrive.
Dockyard Kitchen, SE18
Rustic Kitchen, Smart Details
Dockyard Kitchen offers a rare combination of texture and practicality. The heritage features include large Victorian windows, exposed brickwork and reclaimed Georgian floorboards. At the heart of the space is a functional, production-ready kitchen with concrete worktops, a movable island and cleverly designed storage. A mounted rig system keeps lighting clear of the floor, and the overall layout makes filming seamless, especially for food and lifestyle content.
Bohemian Studio, SE18
Flexible, Eclectic and Ready to Style
Just next door, Bohemian Studio offers a space full of character and customisation options. It features a mix of rustic textures, vintage props, and flexible layout options, as well as a mezzanine chill-out area. This studio works well for portrait shoots, lookbooks and styled product content. Set building is welcome here, and the existing backdrops offer plenty to work with.
Lemon Studios, SE27
Two Distinct Studios, One Creative Hub
Lemon Two features three different shooting zones, including a fixed cove, Tudor-style wood panelling and a clean white setup. With a kitchen and HMU station on site, it is ideal for content shoots that need multiple looks in one day. Upstairs, Lemon One offers a beautiful daylight studio with white painted floorboards and a calm, spacious feel. The natural light makes it an excellent choice for brand-led storytelling and editorial work.
Carousel, SE13
Creative Playground with Room to Grow
Carousel is a large and varied location inside a former spice warehouse. It’s filled with a mix of textures, vintage props, and surfaces to dress, rearrange or build onto. The owners provide full access and offer additional space outside, complete with lighting bays and on-site parking. The location features multiple kitchens, a roof deck, and an overgrown garden, offering a range of visual options within a single location.
Kemble, SE23
Light-Filled Comfort in Forest Hill
Kemble is a quiet, well-equipped warehouse studio that feels polished yet practical. A wall of north-facing windows offers consistent daylight, while the kitchen features Smeg appliances and a large central island that works for hands-on content. With fibre broadband, parking and a well-designed layout, this is a space that makes repeat bookings easy and stress-free.
Tucker, SW20
Timeless Light and Architectural Elegance
Tucker Studio is known for its soft, beautiful light, created by north-facing skylights and crittall windows. The kitchen is styled for both camera use and crew comfort, and the reclaimed parquet flooring adds warmth to every frame. With ample space for filming and stills, this studio consistently delivers strong results.
Studios Worth Repeating
These South London photography studios stand out not only for their appearance but also for their functionality. They are easy to use, consistently reliable and offer spaces that adapt to the needs of your production. Whether you are planning a food shoot, product campaign or full film crew setup, each one is a space we would confidently recommend.
