THE TOP 10 PRODUCTION LOCATIONS TO TRAVEL TO OUTSIDE OF LONDON

If you’re looking to take your next production to a regional location, you’re not alone. The city can only tick so many boxes. As a location agency, we are experiencing an increasing number of clients choosing to take their photoshoot and film productions out of the city, travelling outside of London and into the surrounding areas. We understand that travel can be expensive and time consuming, and the result needs to be well worth the effort. That’s why we have collated our top 10 production locations outside of London that are worth the travel, and will take your next creative production to incredible heights.

WHY TAKE YOUR PRODUCTION REGIONAL?

If you’re looking for a reason to take your next production out of the city to a regional area, here’s three.

ABUNDANT SPACE AND ACCESSIBILITY 

Anyone who has been on the set of a creative production at a city location knows that some of the biggest constraints on a shoot day is space, accessibility, and parking. The crew on set can range from 10 to 40 people and beyond, with a seemingly never-ending amount of filming equipment, furniture, lighting, props, clothing, hair and makeup supplies and more. That’s where a regional shoot location can be a huge benefit. Larger properties provide more shoot space, and larger grounds provide more wide-open space and parking options for cast and crew.

CREATIVE EDGE IS A REWARD FOR YOUR TRAVEL

The effort of travelling may not be in the cards for some clients, who prefer to stick to the city. However, the benefit of choosing a regional shoot location is that your production gets a creative edge, standing out from your competitors with a less utilised and incredibly unique location and vistas that will leave your audience stunned.

THE OPTION TO SHOOT AND STAY

A selection of our regional locations conveniently offer shoot and stay productions, where your crew can stay overnight and greatly cut out travel and set up times. This is the benefit of choosing a regional property, which are often much more spacious and with a higher number of bedrooms to make shoot and stay a possibility.

We have an incredible calibre of photoshoot and filming locations outside of the city, that will take your next production to new and exciting heights. From extravagant views and grande estates, to cozy cottages with country charm, we have a regional NSW location for every creative brief imaginable.
