Question 1

Where can I find your studios?

Accepted Answer

Our Battersea, Hewlett, and Founders Rooms are all located in the same building in Battersea, SW8 4AS. Our Finsbury and Pod Rooms are located in Finsbury Park, N7 7NU.

Question 2

Is there free parking available onsite? What is the closest station?

Accepted Answer

BATTERSEA LOCATIONS (Hewlett, Battersea, Founders Room): During weekdays, there is off-street parking which is free before 11AM and after 12PM. Before 12PM, there are limited pay-by-phone spaces in the courtyard. There is usually street parking available surrounding the building on Havelock Terrace and Bradmead. If you want to avoid re-parking between 11AM-12PM, the nearest parking lot is at the Battersea Power Station, a short walk away. Street parking is free all day on Saturday and Sunday. FINSBURY LOCATIONS (Pod Room and Finsbury Room): The full address is 5F Thane Works, Finsbury Park, N7 7NU. There is off-street parking which is free. Please ensure that you park appropriately, allowing other vehicles to pass along the pathway.

Question 3

Can I come in for a tour?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Please email us at info@manyroomsstudios.com or give us a call at 0736 158 6556 to arrange a time.

Question 4

What is the minimum amount of time I can book? How long should I book?

Accepted Answer

The minimum time you can book is 1 hour in any of our rooms.

When you are thinking about the amount of time to book, please consider things like outfit changes, staging, setting up the lighting, etc. Often, an unexpected amount of time can easily be eaten up by something as small as parking or steaming an outfit. The amount of time that you schedule should include about 5-10 minutes return the room in the same condition it was found.

It is always more relaxing to over-estimate and take it slow than try to rush through!

The shortest duration for any booking is one hour, and we book each session by the hour.

Question 5

What are your hourly rates?

Accepted Answer

Our Battersea Locations are set at £55/hour and our Finsbury locations start from £45/hour. If this amount is not accessible, please do let us know as we are often running promotions and are happy to negotiate for longer bookings.

If you would like to book for several days, weeks, or months at a time, please send us an email at info@manyroomsstudios.com and we can arrange a custom offer.

For commercial bookings our hourly rates are increased. Please send us an email if you are booking for commercial use!

Question 6

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

Our regular hours are 8AM - 6PM everyday of the week. We offer flexible hours and can accommodate most bookings even on weekends, late at night and early in the morning. You can book most off-hours on our website, but if our system isn't allowing you to select the timing you need, please contact us.

All bookings scheduled during the weekend, bookings starting at 7AM, and starting after 6PM will be billed an additional £50.

Question 7

What if I need longer in the studio than initially booked?

Accepted Answer

Please speak with the studio manager by calling or texting 0790 486 0344 if you need more time. We will try our best to accommodate your request, provided no booking is scheduled immediately after yours. In such a scenario, we would happily extend your booking at the regular hourly rate for the room.

We charge all overtime by the hour.

Question 8

How many rooms do you have?

Accepted Answer

We currently have two studios: Battersea Room & Hewlett Room. They are both located in the same building and can be rented separately or together.

Question 9

Do you offer photography or videography services?

Accepted Answer

We are so happy to refer some of our favourite  photographers! Please check out our photographer page to see some of their work and arrange a session with them.

If you want, please shoot us an email info@manyroomsstudios.com with some information about the type of shoot you have in mind and we can help narrow down your search.

Question 10

What if I need help or need to change my booking?

Accepted Answer

We understand that sometimes the unexpected happens! If you need to make any changes or if you are running behind on the big day, please give us a ring at 0736 158 6556.

Question 11

What happens the day of my shoot?

Accepted Answer

Before your shoot, please be sure to see and sign the Studio Use Agreement. This is required to confirm any bookings in our studios. After your booking is made, we will send you extra details with information on parking, how to access the building, our address and contact details.

Once you arrive at the building, please give us a ring at the number provided, or at 0736 158 6556 and our studio assistant will come outside to welcome you in. To gain access into our building, you must be taken inside with one of our staff, please refrain from entering the building, or asking the building manager for assistance.

Our studio assistant will then take you up, show you the room and equipment, and provide additional details. After, the assistant will leave you to complete your shoot!

Question 12

Can I arrive early to set up?

Accepted Answer

We kindly ask to arrive for your booking no more than 5 minutes before your booked time, as we book clients back-to-back and we may be preparing the room for you. Please refrain from entering the building, or asking the Hewlett House building manager for assistance.

Question 13

Can I use paper backdrops in the studio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have several rolls of Colorama paper backdrops available in our rooms. If you'd like to request one, please email us at info@manyroomsstudios.com, and we can send you sample images of the colours we currently stock. Each Colorama use is £15. Please note that we do not set up the Colorama for your session, but our staff can help explain how it works! The process is relatively simple, and please remember to treat the paper with care when you set the roll up and put it away.

Question 14

Can I rent out cameras, polyboards, podcast mics, or any other equipment?

Accepted Answer

We only rent out some of our cameras. These are:
Canon 5D Mark iv
Canon M50 mark ii

Otherwise, we do not have additional equipment for rental outside of what is listed on each room's page.

Question 15

What are the differences between your rooms?

Accepted Answer

Both rooms offer similar props, furniture and equipment but they are different styles - the Battersea Room has more cream colours and is more lifestyle focused while the Hewlett Room has cooler tones with an editorial look. Of course, all of our studios can be manipulated and designed to fit the needs of your shoot!

For equipment, the Battersea room has a ring light and Godox flash with a softbox while the Hewlett room does not. The Hewlett room does come with an additional ≈250 sqft and a curtained-off area with tea/coffee that can double as an MUA or changing area. Both rooms have a Godox continuous light, 2 x panel lights, iPhone and camera tripods, spare standard stands, a curtain backdrop, and a clothes steamer.

Question 16

Can I drop off my props the day before my session or leave them overnight and pick them up the next day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can drop off your props the day before your session or leave them overnight and pick them up the next day. However, please note that we charge a flat holding fee of £100 per evening. This fee reserves the room for your props and ensures that it cannot be booked by another client during that time. Additionally, this fee covers the cost of arranging staffing to assist in the drop-off and pick-up.

If you need to arrange for prop holding, please contact us in advance to ensure availability and make the necessary arrangements.
