In East London’s vibrant creative scene, Hackney Warehouse stands out as an exceptional filming location. Its rich history, coupled with modern amenities, makes this versatile space the perfect setting for productions of all sizes. Whether you’re filming a gritty urban drama, an edgy fashion shoot, or a quirky independent film, Hackney Warehouse offers a unique combination of raw East London aesthetic and fully equipped facilities, ideal for bringing your vision to life.
From Artist Squat to Creative Hub: The Story of Hackney Warehouse
Hackney Warehouse has a fascinating backstory that sets it apart. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became a squatted space for urban creatives, giving it a unique, rebellious character. The warehouse was filled with creative energy, street art, and eclectic décor, which still influences the space today.
Now transformed into a fully operational fashion studio, Hackney Warehouse retains its edgy, artistic vibe while offering a polished, flexible environment for a wide range of film and photography productions.
Incredible Versatility for Set Design
Hackney Warehouse is more than just an empty space—it’s ready to become anything your production requires. The main event space can be easily dressed to recreate a variety of sets, including:
An edgy East London apartment with industrial vibes
A quirky café full of personality
An artistic office space with a creative, urban twist
An old-fashioned diner evoking a retro feel
An eclectic waiting room with vintage and modern touches
This adaptability makes Hackney Warehouse perfect for diverse scenes within a single production, or for creative projects looking to experiment with different looks and styles.
Fully Functioning Natural Daylight Studio
In addition to its expansive event space, Hackney Warehouse offers a fully equipped natural daylight photographic studio. Complete with professional backdrops and a small selection of lighting, this studio provides a controlled environment for high-quality shoots. The natural light enhances any production, from fashion editorials to portrait photography, ensuring beautiful, cinematic visuals.
Perfect for Make-Up Stations and Prep Areas
Hackney Warehouse is designed with the needs of a film crew in mind. The space features a fully functioning bathroom complete with a shower, making it ideal for make-up stations and prep areas. Whether you need a place for touch-ups, costume changes, or simply to refresh the cast during long shooting days, this facility ensures that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Rooftop Access with Iconic East London Views
One of Hackney Warehouse’s most striking features is its sweeping rooftop, which offers breathtaking views of the East London skyline. This gritty, urban backdrop adds a layer of authenticity and cinematic drama to any production. Whether you’re shooting wide panoramic scenes, capturing the city’s energy, or filming an intimate rooftop conversation, the rooftop access provides filmmakers with the perfect visual element to enhance their story.
