A studio day, about two hours from London

The maths on London vs West Sussex

A central London cove studio runs two to four times our rate before you have lit a thing. Our White Space cove is £295+VAT for a half day or £395+VAT for a full ten-hour day. The trade is the journey, and what you get back is a quieter floor, fifteen parking spaces, ground-level load-in and a rain rig most London stages can't offer.

Getting here from London

By road it is about two hours from Waterloo, most of it on the A3. By train, the fastest services from Waterloo reach Havant in 75 minutes, and the studio is 15 minutes from the station by taxi. Victoria to Chichester takes about an hour and a half on the fastest trains, and Chichester station is also 15 minutes away. Drive down and there are fifteen parking spaces at the door.

By road, off-peak: about two hours from London Waterloo. The fast train to Havant takes 75 minutes.

Worth the trip for

• Rain and weather work — our rain rig is one of very few in the South of England.
• Vehicle shoots — drive-in access to the cove without London logistics.
• Batch content days — book a pre-lit green stage and shoot a quarter's presenter content in a day.
• Build days — set building with room and time London rarely allows.
• Dialogue and voice: or skip the trip. A London cutting room can direct ADR and voice sessions here over Source-Connect Pro, with our timeline locked to yours (how it works).
