Work in production? Got the new Casualty or Holby City, then we have the location for you!

Unitbase.co.uk is a location agency based in London with some fantastic medical locations on our books. We think that they would be perfect to be home to the new Casualty, Holby City or even ER!

With that in mind, this week we at Unitbase.co.uk published our newsletter focussing on our new medical training centre that is now available for filming and photography. The location, situated within the University of Hertfordshire, is an equipped medical training facility and therefore a fully dressed filming location.

The location itself has a fully dressed ward with beds, medical equipment and even a reception desk to provide the complete 'look'. BUT it doesn’t just stop there as within the location is a fully stocked pharmacy, another great location in its own right. Normally these types of locations are very, very difficult to film in. Therefore the training nature of these locations of course allows for much more freedom and flexibility in terms of access for filming and photography.

Our locations options at Unitbase.co.uk are vast, you can see for yourself at www.unitbase.co.uk, however within the same newsletter we have also promoted the fantastically popular Royal Hospital Haslar, located in Gosport, just outside of Portsmouth. Even that the location itself is a short drive out of London, this location has proved very popular for many productions, Holby City included! This is because it is not just a vacant hospital, but also there are town houses, an Officers Mess and a fully vacant A&E hospital, all on the same site!

Have a look at this wicked newsletter on the news pages at www.unitbase.co.uk. We have loads and loads of locations and with them come an incredible array of themes and styles. With any type of production or event, we can supply a great location! Get in touch at info@unitbase.co.uk or 0207 239 8906

Unitbase.co.uk and Funky Venues - A Great New Partnership


Today, we are really excited to announce our brilliant new partnership with Funky Venues, London's premier online events resource. We have provided Funky with some fantastic locations to promote to the events industry and we are looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership. Have a look at our brilliant locations that are all available for events on our website at www.unitbase.co.uk

The five locations that are presented through our partnership with Funky Venues are:

Lexington Garage - A space that is one of the great locations in Central London. Right in the heart of Soho the space has leant itself to loads of different events. It was first transformed into a war zone for a computer game launch then into a catwalk for a fashion show, Have a look at how it was done here! High ceilings and enough space for around 400 people standing there is really no other space so centrally located that can provide so much!

201 Cityscape - What an amazing location this is, perched at the top of one of London's newest office towers, this corporate event space has unbelievable views that really sets this space apart. In fact very few locations even come close due to the size of the space and the views that come with it! 201 Cityscape must be seen to be believed!

Wharf Islands - Now for something really different! The Wharf Islands are huge floating pontoons that can be moved to any area within London Docklands and enable your production to create something completely original all with the backdrop of London's world famous banking district. Imagination is needed, as other event companies have found, one production split two of the pontoons to create a golf hole. Another company explored the idea of building a reality television house on them. They are yours to explore, so give Unitbase.co.uk a call and discuss the options on 0207 239 8906

W1 Penthouse - Looking for a high spec, lavish apartment for a small event or product launch? Then the W1 Penthouse is a great candidate. As the location name suggests, the apartment is in the heart of Central London and just off the world famous Oxford Street, so for fashion or cosmetic events the W1 penthouse ticks the boxes. Plus with a balcony, floor to ceiling windows wrapping one half of the apartment and a large kitchen for catering, this is a useable and also beautiful location.

The Atrium - This fabulous atrium space in West London is our final location that we have in our Funky Venues bundle! This great space has huge versatility enabling the most creative of minds to produce a spectacular event. With power, lighting and great access, The Atrium is a special event venue and ready for your next production.

So with all of that we really do provide the events industry with some very special locations! Don't forget we are always finding new and exciting locations so why not register with us at www.unitbase.co.uk and you won't miss a thing!

The W1 Penthouse has its first event!



Last month we completed our first event at our brilliant W1 Penthouse in Central London. The event was for a high profile make-up brand that needed a high spec, top end penthouse to launch their new products. Members of the press and PR companies attended the event and enjoyed the central London location along with their champagne and canapes. A great location and a roaring success for the first event of many at the W1 Penthouse.

The W1 Penthouse was used for just one day and it was an intimate launch of this great 'make-up' product. It utilised the lavish and beautifully finished property to match with its elegant make up brand. It was a great success and both the client and production company got exactly what they needed from this fantastic event location, exclusively with Unitbase.co.uk

The W1 Penthouse is only one location in a portfolio of great options through Unitbase.co.uk, so have a look at www.unitbase.co.uk for more interesting and unusual locations to be used as event spaces. Such locations are '201 Cityscape' in the heart of the City of London or 'The Lexington Garage' in Soho. Truly great locations exclusively with Unitbase.co.uk.
