Film, Theatre & TV Productions

Built around the production schedule

Production accommodation often has to work around long days, different call times and people arriving or leaving at different stages of the project.

That is why we begin with the production brief rather than with a fixed list of properties.

Location often comes first

Performers, technicians and crew may be finishing late at night or starting very early in the morning. A long or complicated journey at either end of the day can quickly become a problem.

We therefore look carefully at the theatre, film set, studio, rehearsal venue or production base and try to find accommodation as close as possible, or with a straightforward journey that works for the production schedule.

Why serviced apartments work so well for productions

Accommodation for the whole production — not necessarily the same accommodation

Different members of a production often need different things.

Lead cast or senior production staff may require premium accommodation, a particular location or additional services. Crew, technicians and support teams may have different budgets and be happy with simpler accommodation nearby.

We can look at the production as a whole and suggest different solutions for different groups. That may mean:

• Different apartment categories within the same building
• Cast and senior personnel in one property and crew in another nearby
• Several apartments in the same building where availability allows
• Different locations where this better fits call times, budgets or production logistics

Group accommodation for performers, cast and crew

We have experience sourcing multiple apartments for groups who want to stay in the same building or as close together as possible.

Where one building cannot accommodate the full group, we can look at nearby alternatives and explain the practical options.

Availability can vary significantly during busy periods, so the earlier we receive the full brief, the more choice we are likely to have.

Confidentiality and guest privacy

We understand that production accommodation can be sensitive, especially where performers or high-profile guests are involved.

Our team treats client and guest information as confidential and only shares booking information with accommodation providers when it is necessary to progress or confirm the reservation.

Where a client has particular privacy requirements, tell us at the outset and we can discuss the most appropriate way to handle the booking, subject to the identification, security and check-in requirements of the accommodation provider.

An independent search across different operators

London Serviced Apartments does not own or operate the serviced apartments we recommend.

That means we are not trying to steer a production towards one particular building or apartment brand. Our priority is to understand the brief and search for suitable options across the market.

If the original budget, location or facilities make the search difficult, we can explain the available trade-offs and suggest practical alternatives.

Long stays and changing schedules

Production dates can change, and cast or crew may need to remain in London longer or leave earlier than originally planned.

When we suggest accommodation, we can take cancellation, early-departure and extension terms into account and explain the relevant conditions before booking.

Extensions are always subject to availability and the terms of the booking, but the earlier we know about a possible change, the more options we may have.

For some longer stays, monthly or staged payment arrangements may also be available, depending on the operator and booking terms.
