Filming Locations for Interviews & Documentaries

Finding the right location for an interview or documentary shoot is about more than just good lighting.

You need character, a quiet setting (that won’t send your sound engineer into a meltdown), and a space that looks as good on camera as it does in person. The best film-friendly properties for hire should offer you a variety of spaces to get the most of your location. The ideal is a mix of drawing rooms, cosy studies, sleek modern spaces or atmospheric industrial backdrops - all within one venue, giving you options for different moods and set-ups but without the hassle of moving crew and kit. Working smarter not harder!

Whether you’re after period charm, minimalist elegance or something with a little more retro style, we’ve shortlisted some of the best commercial shoot places for your needs to help set your scene.

Cator House

Cator House has over 3800 square footage, seven bathrooms, five bedrooms, four floors, three gorgeous reception rooms, plus a study, a kitchen and a utilities room. There is plenty of room to accommodate as many talking heads as your documentary needs. Take a closer look here.

Groom Crescent

If you’re looking for a shoot venue with Scandi minimalism with botanical details, we’ve got good news for you! With plenty of interesting elements and a sunny wood panelled outside space, there’s plenty of angles to be made. Explore this film production location more here.

Heaver House

This is not the location hire for you if you’re after minimal, as joyful maximalism lives here! If you’re scouting for a documentary location with personality this has it in spades. Yes, you’ll need to warn your guests they may end up filming in a loo, but we’re pretty sure they’d be ok with that. Absorb some of the design details here.

Larkhall Rise

A modern home with plenty of clean lines and understated decor. If the pizza oven in the orchard-feeling garden doesn’t satisfy the location manager, then the bright and airy plant-filled space will. Take a deeper dive here.

Links Green

A stunning split level, newly renovated, architecturally-designed home. Strong clean minimalism, with excellent detailing across the whole location. From pool room, to pool house, to piano, it’s a luxury film location in every way. Explore more here.

Tennyson

This town house has bags of cosy country character, with rugged stone and wood details in almost every room. For a Georgian London townhouse it has a surprising amount of space, making it an ideal shoot location. Admire the aesthetic here.

Telford Park

This is an incredibly spacious house - 5000sqft! It’s a double-fronted, detached Victorian House with a swimming pool. You and the crew will absolutely not be on top of each other while filming here.

The right filming location can make all the difference, whether you’re after a cosy corner for a candid chat or a dramatic backdrop for something bigger. (And the right location agency too, hint hint!)

These places have character, versatility and just the right amount of cinematic magic. Still looking for a spot that ticks all the boxes? Get in touch - we’ll help you find the perfect setting.
