The Brick Studio at Finchley Studios is located at 22–23 Arcadia Avenue, Finchley Central, London N3 2JU.

The Brick Studio at Finchley Studios is a distinctive filming and photography space featuring an exposed brick aesthetic that provides an authentic, characterful backdrop for professional productions. The industrial-style environment is particularly suited to commercials, interviews, podcasts, music videos, fashion shoots, branded content, social media content, photography and corporate video production.

Unlike a plain studio backdrop, the exposed brick gives your production an established visual identity straight away, making it a popular choice when you want a setting that feels urban, creative and contemporary without having to build a complete set.

The Brick Studio works particularly well for productions that benefit from an industrial, urban or contemporary visual style. It can be used for fashion photography, interviews, music videos, commercials, podcasts, social media content, corporate films and branded campaigns. The brick environment provides texture and visual interest while remaining versatile enough to work with different lighting designs, furniture, props and production concepts. It is also a strong option for creator content and thought-leadership videos where you want something more distinctive than a conventional office or plain backdrop.

Our team can discuss your requirements and help plan the appropriate lighting setup.
