Location Agencies in London

Lavish Locations has a deep and extensive database of over 1500 locations across the UK, but with the majority situated in London and the surrounding areas. It also boasts a small amount of locations that exclusive to Lavish Locations, so always worth checking out.

The platform is a supportive partner for those working in corporate video and commercials. It offers personal support & research upfront, and has a nifty portfolio feature to help share your findings with clients for approval.

Location Works claim to be the oldest location agency in the world, and the first agency to create an online library. While the website could do with a modern refresh, Location Works still has one of the best and most comprehensive location catalogues in the business.The process is a little less user-friendly than other location agencies, but it does encourage you to pick up the phone and chat with the agency directly to discuss your needs.

Ultimately, Location Works may not have the flashiest online presence, but they have the resources and experience to deliver where others cannot.

Airspace Locations is a boutique location agency in London that was created organically out of a passion for location scouting and sourcing.

The Airspace website is a little harder to navigate when you’re looking for specific location features, however, we feel confident including Airspace in the list because of the personal customer service they offer. The team are on hand to explore their catalogue for locations to match your needs, or if they don’t have anything, they’ll do the scouting for you.

Amazing Space Locations stands out as a quality supplier for locations, especially for the film & TV industry.

The comprehensive location catalogue is supported with high-quality images and robust search features. It’s no wonder that Amazing Space can champion their film experience and impressive client base.

Film Office is a London-based organisation that specialises in film, event, and creative location management. They are dedicated to supporting the cultural and creative industries across the UK, with a particular emphasis on London and individual London Boroughs. Working hand-in-hand with local authorities is a huge advantage when booking locations through the Film Office, enabling efficient management of permissions and minimising unnecessary communications.

The location search feature comes under the Umbrella of Film Hub and provides a simple way of searching based under broad terms. However, if it’s a London space you need then Film Office is well worth checking out.

Location Collective is a location agency that aims to do locations differently. The company works closely with the film industry, and offers commission incentives for locations referred by industry professionals, hence the ‘collective’ aspect to the name.

The location portfolio is rather inconsistent in its naming, but nevertheless offers a good choice of locations in and around London. Should you need assistance, it’s easy enough to call the Location Collective team, or even send them a brief to fulfil. However, one great USP of Location Collective is their Express service, which aims to help fast-track results for productions with a tight turnaround (aren’t they all…?)

Salt Film may be one of the largest location agencies on our list. Boasting over 20,000 locations in London and beyond. The portfolio ranges from simple huts to stadiums, Salt has it all.

Salt also seems to be the only agency with an innovative image search feature. This allows you to upload a reference image and have similar location listings returned with a high degree of accuracy. And finally, the commendable ethos and values of Salt can be found on their About Us page, ensuring that a partnership with them is good for both people and planet.

Scout productions do things a little differently. The company has a huge roster of regional scouts who continue to add locations to the database, while also acting as fixers, location managers and location assistants to support your production. Having a boots-on-the-ground approach allows Scout Productions to minimise time and cost when searching for your perfect location.

The location portfolio isn’t as extensive as some other agencies (around 6,000 locations) however, the benefit of additional expertise and support can never be understated. Furthermore, if you choose to work with the Scout team, then their carbon contribution is offset through their partnership with Carbon Aware Productions.

Scouty may not have the most extensive location catalogue, but it’s been included here as it offers something a little different for producers, scouts and filmmakers.

The location offering is largely limited to residential, studios and warehouses. However, Scouty also provides video equipment hire and vehicle hire. While the proverbial venn diagram for needing all three of these services might be small, we feel Scouty deserves the honourable mention because anything that makes a Producer’s life more simple, deserves to be championed.
