TV interview studio in central London

Why broadcast teams use it

The problem with interviewing contributors in central London is usually either sound — recorded in an office or hotel room — or access, dragging people out to a studio in Park Royal or Bermondsey. Bloomsbury Film Studio sits between Russell Square and King’s Cross, making it one of the most accessible studios in London for contributors who cannot spend more than thirty minutes away from their desk.

The studio is soundproofed to 54 dB in a building that sits on a quiet residential mews. No traffic noise, no disturbances. What you record is what you intend to record.

Practical details for production teams

• Pre-lit and ready: Lighting is rigged and set. You can shoot within minutes of arriving.
• Multiple contributors, one day: Ideal for programmes putting several contributors through in a single day. The central location means they can come on their lunch break or between meetings.
• Self-service or staffed: If you have your own DoP and sound recordist, hire the studio only. If you need an operator, our package includes Sony FS7 and an in-house camera operator.
• Three backgrounds: White infinity curve, green screen, and pre-rigged black drapes. No charge for switching between them during the day.
• No overtime fees: Earlier starts or later finishes available by prior arrangement at no extra cost.
