Our Very Own Summer Blockbuster Locations

As a celebration of the release of this years summer blockbuster, Inception, we thought that it would be quite cool to show you all our Summer Blockbuster locations...


Now the secret here is that, the films in which these locations were used, may not have actually been released in the summer, but never mind...here are our Summer Blockbuster Locations...


Inglis Barracks - An Education

As many have found before Inglis Barracks is incredibly versatile, with huge potential for filming and photography. In An Education some of the residential rooms within the Officer Mess were used to double as a cheap 1960's hotel just outside of Heathrow...


RocknRolla - South Dock, London Docklands

London has never looked cooler than in the Guy Richie directed film RocknRolla. Check out the backdrop to this location behind the huge 70 ft yacht!! Such a great scene and it used the London scenery that is available on British Waterways property to its max!


In The Loop - Swakeley's House (in Vyners House)

One of the funniest films of the last couple of years was In The Loop. The official offices were created in the modern office section of Vyners house within the grounds of Swakeleys House. We think more people should see this place as it holds loads of filming possibilities!


4,3,2,1 - Westfield Shopping Centre

One of Londons up and coming directors, Noel Clarke, wrote directed and acted in this action packed film. Based at Westfield for three days the filming brought some upheaval, but the production were really happy with the outcome and the shopping centre loved the publicity.

ITV's Identity hits the screens tonight

A major new ITV drama series starts tonight and we at Unitbase.co.uk are very excited about some of the locations on show. The show starring Keeley Hawes of Ashes to Ashes fame and Queer of Folk’s Aidan Gillen, are part of an elite police unit that is set up to combat identity related crime.

The main office location that was used for the filming was Thomas More Square, an office complex in Wapping, London. The production took over a whole floor of the building where they recreated their special unit police headquarters. The production required a modern, high spec office location with London City views and this is exactly what they got! We are really excited to see how the production utilised this great location, a location that has been used in many productions before, such as ’28 Weeks Later’ and many television commercials.

The production was on site for 2 months whereby the crew built the set into the fabric of the building. What must also be mentioned is the fact that the filming was able to be carried out while other companies were carrying out a normal day’s business within the same building! This is a fantastic achievement and here at Unitbase.co.uk we were really happy to be able to make this happen!


UK television and film production is on the up and we are really proud to be a facilitating part in it! The team at Unitbase.co.uk will be glued to their screens tonight as to make sure they don’t miss a scene. With great locations like Thomas More Square as part of our Land Securities portfolio, we know we will be involved in many productions to come. Have a look at us at www.unitbase.co.uk or call 0207 239 8906.

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.

Hackney Empire - Exclusively with Unitbase.co.uk

With performers such as Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, this iconic London theatre is steeped in history. Now Unitbase.co.uk is excited to announce its exclusive representation of all filming and photography at the Hackney Empire. This stunning theatre built in 1901 undertook a huge refurbishment in 2004, which has resulted in the location having a selection of great filming and photographic locations!

Unitbase.co.uk is one of London’s top location agencies and is very proud to be representing a location that is such an iconic and famous London entertainment venue. With clients such as Warner Brothers, BBC and Tiger Aspect, Unitbase.co.uk are keen to get started representing the property and commenced a marketing campaign on the 19th April 2010 to raise the profile of the venue as a possible filming location.

The theatre is of course home to a fantastic and traditional auditorium space, but as with any refurbished theatre, there are other great spaces that can be utilised by any filming or photographic production company. These includes rehearsal rooms, green rooms and bar areas. All can be locked off and are usable for filming and photography, and as due to the nature of the Hackney Empire’s business then these spaces are normally available throughout the day.
If you or your company are interested in utilising the Hackney Empire for filming or photography, then please contact James or Alex at Unitbase.co.uk on 020 7239 8906
