At AAE, we work with a lot of creatives looking for the perfect location for their next production, helping them cut out the stress of scouting the backdrop to their project.
We’ve selected a few of our favourite studio spaces with real character, for those of you looking for somewhere to shoot your next collection, film, or portfolio. Some of these places allow for intimate gatherings too- think workshops, talks, or screenings.
Get in touch if any of these have caught your eye- we’re all ears.
Bean Studio 3, Hackney
A compact studio space that leans into a more intimate atmosphere, designed as much for creative expression as it is for connection. Exposed beams, painted block walls and raw concrete are layered with warm-toned textiles, rugs, and plants.
A sculptural mezzanine and reclaimed spiral staircase add depth, while vintage furniture on wheels allows the space to be easily reconfigured. It’s fully equipped for productions and small-scale events, with a PA system, soundproofing for recording, and even a tea bar.
