Located in East London within a former aircraft factory originally designed by Sir Owen Williams in the 1930s, DeHavilland Studios is an impressive industrial Art Deco building. This bespoke daylight studio is ideal for photography and film shoots.

Situated on the first floor and approached by lift or stairs, the studio benefits from the large dual aspect Art Deco factory windows, with light reducing blinds and high ceilings.

The immense infinity cove is set within the spacious studio with three additional interchangeable backdrops; distressed, regency and abstract, along with an additional distressed stained floor boarding panel as an option.

The conversion has been carried out by a talented craftsman with painstaking attention to detail throughout.

With gated private parking by arrangement and good accessability by car and public transport, equipment hire and bespoke catering packages are also available.
