Why creators shoot at STU 22

Everything’s included, nothing to hire. Professional lighting, coloured seamless backdrops, stands, reflectors and props come with every studio booking. No kit list, no hire-shop run, no lugging gear across London. Turn up with just your phone or camera and our team will help you set up your first look in minutes.

Three looks in one booking. Shoot pastel seamless in The Cove, moody cinematic in The Blackout and neon DJ energy in The Portal — all under one roof. Creators regularly batch a month of TikToks, Reels and YouTube content in a single afternoon and walk out with dozens of clips from one session.

Priced for creators, not agencies. The Portal from £35/hr and full studios from £100/hr make this some of the most affordable creative studio hire in London. No minimum-day nonsense and no hidden equipment fees — book by the hour and pay for exactly what you use.

East London, without the schlep. We’re in Wapping (E1W), 10 minutes from Shoreditch and an easy ride from Hackney, Canary Wharf and the City. The Overground and DLR are nearby, with simple parking options if you’re bringing extra kit.

The spaces

The Cove — from £100/hr. A daylight-style photography and video studio with seamless coloured backdrops that swap over in seconds. It’s the go-to space for fashion content, brand UGC, product photography, try-on hauls and clean talking-head video. If you’ve saved a pastel studio look on Instagram or Pinterest, chances are it was shot on a set like this.

The Blackout — from £100/hr. A fully dark video studio that gives you total control of light — no spill, no windows, no compromise. Built for cinematic YouTube intros, moody portraits, music promos, beauty lighting setups and anything that needs that expensive low-key film look on a creator budget.

The Portal (DJ / Music Room) — from £35/hr. DJ decks, neon light and instant atmosphere. Record live sets and mix videos, film podcast episodes with a visual edge, or shoot listening-party and behind-the-scenes content for your next release. At £35/hr it’s one of the most affordable music content studios for hire in London.
