The 12 best Shoreditch studios to hire

The Podcast Studio at Flint Social Studio is the ideal location for content creators looking to record audio and needing equipment. It’s located right across the street from Hoxton station and can hold eight people boardroom style or 12 people standing.

It has a 7 x 5-metre white infinity cove and creators can customise the studio to meet their needs — either rent it as a dry hire or with full-service in-house production. They also have a range of service and equipment packages like camera, audio and lighting equipment, videography, sound engineering, and editing to help you produce high-quality content.

Located inside a handsome townhouse in the heart of Shoreditch’s Chance Street, Dream Factory is a bright, multi-functional studio space geared towards stylish events that would make full use of its plush sofas, studio lighting and tall ceilings.

Inside you’ll find spotlighting, director chairs set up for filming along with white infinity curve screens. The entire venue can fit 300 guests, and the nearest station is Shoreditch High Street Station. There are also a number of fantastic pubs in the surrounding area for that post-event pint.

Inside this squat, handsome converted warehouse you'll find one of Shoreditch's finest studios. The 750-capacity space covers a total of 13,000 sq.ft across five studios, it's a huge, airy blank canvas in exactly the way a studio should be. Sandwiched between Great Eastern Street and Shoreditch High Street ensures that you are never too far from Shoreditch High Street Station.

Equidistant between Old Street and Angel, Up Studios straddles the border of Islington and Shoreditch, providing both neighbourhoods with an excellent studio space. Up Studios provides bright, spacious and open-plan areas, a great backdrop for lifestyle photo and film shoots.

For those with video plans, ceiling-mounted video lights and sound reverb panels create the ideal setting for interview-style shoots. The capacity is capped at 26, and you can make full use of the adjoining kitchen.

With exposed brickwork, alongside an open-plan layout with a definite tendency towards creatively-centred clientele, Cobalance is certainly ticking the boxes of the Shoreditch studio mould. The style is self-described as ‘New York loft’, split across two floor you’ll find a brightly lit space that can accommodate 85 - 95 standing, 60 theatre-style, or 40 boardroom-style across the whole space.

The Studio facilities at Cobalance are up to standard spec: breakout spaces, projector screens and colour-changing lights bring a degree of polish to the space. If, however, you’re looking for something different they also provide a cash bar alongside arcade games and an outdoor area.

Industrial architecture and technology-supported facilities coalesce at this Shoreditch Studio to bring a very special space to the neighbourhood.

Catering to panels, pitch events, networking events and presentations, all of which are supported by high spec AV throughout, including wired and wireless casting options, 4 microphones, record-out capability and a SONOS system you can control. 200 guests can fit comfortably into the Studio, with Old Street being a short walk away. Half-day and full-day bookings are both available (weekdays only).

The practically named Shoreditch Studios consist of a 3,500 sq. ft warehouse with a capacity for up to 350 guests. The building itself is centred around two adjoining railway arches, which form the basis for two studio spaces boasting the seemingly mandatory Shoreditch combination of exposed Victorian brickwork and high ceilings.

The studio comes with contemporary white infinity coves (a sort of curved white structure that proves essential in photoshoots), green rooms, a small kitchen, a mezzanine lounge and a spacious outdoor courtyard. Versatility is the name of the game here – with dry hire options, Shoreditch Studios can be transformed to order for art exhibitions, conferences, corporate functions, fashion shows, pop-ups, product launches and training events.

Resembling what we imagine Marie Kondo's apartment post-spring-cleaning, Lover Studio is certainly not a studio that can be accused of being cluttered. Double-height vaulted ceilings reveal the thick timber beam work which acts as a striking centrepiece for the lofty studio. This is complemented by hardwood flooring, large warehouse windows and minimalist furniture. The result is, as you can see, a stunning studio that feels as comfortable as it does spacious.

Capacity-wise, Lover Studios tops out at 80 people, with a good variety of event types being catered to. Unfortunately, the dog is not included.

White Rabbit Studios is massive, spread over 10,000 sq ft, and can be fully opened to welcome up to 400-500 guests. Situated between the flanking avenues of Curtain Road and Shoreditch High Street, this studio is a good option for those local or commuting via the overground (the neighbouring Shoreditch High Street Station connects well to South London and the central hub of Highbury & Islington).

Like many studios in Shoreditch, the structural framework for White Rabbit Studios comes from three interlinking victorian railway arches, parabolic focal points which give a degree of urban charm to the versatile studio space. Expect high-spec facilities which can lend your photo shoot, product launch or networking event a professional sheen.

Making you feel as if you're in the closing scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey, SHED's studio A space is a clear convert to the aesthetic school of making everything as white as possible.

SHED are clearly familiar with the high standards demanded by photographers: The studio provides a full range of power from 63amp to 13amp. The studio can provide grip, stands, boards, bags, and flags. Parking is available in neighbouring Haggerston. All studios run high wi-fi connection with dedicated landline phones. Stocked fridges are available if you require them.

Alongside the 20-person capacity Studio A, SHED have a number of smaller studio spaces as well as a dedicated event space that can accommodate 80 guests.

Another studio near Shoreditch, another archway it seems. 2,500 square feet of space is split across two rooms, with both having undergone a full renovation to make sure the studio feels comfortable and functional. Alongside the original brickwork arch, your studio event will benefit from various artworks – the studio doubles up as a gallery representing contemporary pieces.

Private hire is available, with 250 guests being catered for. Alongside the aesthetics of the studio, you can also expect flood lighting throughout, moveable walls, an enclosed private garden and a working kitchen, alongside internet and telephone access.

Okay, so technically EartH is found a short jaunt up from Shoreditch, in the Dalston section of Kingsland Road. We're disregarding these facile distinctions, though, as EartH Hackney is a special studio space. The Theatre has a capacity of 680 seated (or 700 with a standing area). The studio wears its social responsibilities on its sleeves, bringing disparate artistic voices to its programming and signing up to the Good Night Out and the Mayor of London’s Women's Night Safety Charter.

The venue has retained all of its majestic, original features. Juxtaposed against its faded grandeur, the space is fitted out with state-of-the-art AV including a 360° L-ISA PA system and can play host to talks, conferences, AGMs, press launches and screenings.
