Dehav Studios

The room

Twelve hundred square feet of Hackney loft with thirteen foot ceilings and five industrial windows facing east, so the light arrives early and there are blackout blinds for when you would rather it did not. A movable kitchen island, a bedroom with a gallery view over the main floor, and enough room to run two setups at once without either getting in the other's way.

What it suits

Shoots and content days first, which is what it was built for. But twenty standing or twenty five around a table also makes it a good room for a baby shower, a small dinner or an intimate reception, and there are no noise restrictions to work around.

What comes with it

Wifi, a flatscreen, a PA system, photography backdrops, full length mirrors, storage and a kitchen you can use. Water, tea and coffee are there. Open eight until eight, seven days a week.

Three things to know before you book

There is no alcohol here. None is provided and you cannot bring your own. There is no wedding licence and no temporary event notice available, so a ceremony cannot take place in the building. Promoted and ticketed events are not permitted either. Outside caterers are welcome, which is less common than you would think.

Getting in

Step free throughout, with adapted toilets, a cargo lift and a lift to every floor. Parking is paid nearby, and free on Theydon Road at weekends.
