The Arena - Studio 1
Park Village Studios, also known as the Old Riding School, was built in 1892 as an indoor riding arena to serve the residents of the Nash Houses of Regent’s Park.
Protected by English Heritage, its eclectic history includes housing elephants, giraffes and a brown bear named ‘Spitfire’, when nearby London Zoo was bombed in WW2.
Situated metres from the Gloucester Gate entrance to Regent’s Park the building offers 10,000 sq ft of flexible studio space over three distinctive areas to provide a stunning setting for film, photography and a wide array of events.
WE HAVE TWO OTHER STUDIOS FOR HIRE:
About our studio
The Arena (Studio 1) is the centrepiece of Park Village, a 2,700 sq ft double-height converted Victorian riding arena.
At one end, a cast-iron spiral staircase leads to the original cantilevered viewing gallery and The Stables. At the other, a J-shaped infinity cove provides an eye-catching backdrop for 3D mapping, projections and set-dressing possibilities.
The Arena has full blackout and daylight options, 3-phase power, 1GB ultra-fast WiFi as well as flexible lighting set-ups from the steel rigging. Perfect for large numbers and big production builds.
Many clients hire the building on an exclusive basis to allow total privacy and control of their working environment. As well as the studios, exclusive hire includes extra client spaces, styling suites, green rooms, and outside areas. We also have beautiful outdoor space.
