International Shoot Locations…(but, in London!) 

International Shoot Locations…(but, in London!) 

International shoot locations that look like they could be anywhere in the world can be hard to find in London. 

If your photoshoot, film or other creative project is set overseas, but you need to stay local… we have a variety of locations that could fit your brief! 

From simple, modern homes to unique, architect-designed spaces, here are some of our stand-out international-looking choices. 

These spaces don’t have distinct London-style elements, which makes them versatile options for creative projects. 

Rylett Studios

1st Option Locations – Rylett Studios, W12


With a simple yet sophisticated modern style, West London’s Rylett Studios could be anywhere. Its light-filled interiors, industrial touch and summery outdoor spaces could be in the US, somewhere warm – or many other countries!

Eero

As a creative, architect-designed home in South West London, Eero’s mid-century style, minimalistic-feel and classy design offers versatility. Eero is set within a tranquil nature park, surrounded by lush greenery – perfect for projects that are set somewhere warmer.
