London is frequently thought of as a capital of art and culture as well as the capital of England, which is why studio rental in London is so sought after. However, renting a studio as a creative business doesn’t mean having to struggle with the complications that come with working in London.
The problems with studio rental in London.
Finding your way around London might be relatively simple, but if you’re renting a studio in London for video or photography means:
- Needing to get bulky equipment to the studio, which could mean either driving and facing the congestion charges and premium parking, or paying over the odds to rent equipment and have it delivered. That’s unless you think you can carry video and sound recording equipment on the tube or by taxi.
- Getting a larger amount of space is more expensive as property prices soar in the city centre.
