am I in the right area?

Having a film crew turn up can be a bit daunting: even the smallest crew will be a dozen or more personnel each with their own specialist vehicle. A larger crew may have a lighting truck, mobile generator, catering kitchen and dining bus. So parking is a major consideration: the interior/exterior of your property must be exceptional to compensate for the fact that there is no parking nearby!

Also you must give some consideration to the geographic location. Location Works is based in London, and the majority of our clients are looking to do their location work within or near London or another centre of production such as Manchester or Glasgow. But you don't find dramatic mountain backdrops in the Home Counties! so if your property is exceptional in some other regard (i.e. has qualities that we won't find closer to home), do still please get in touch.

We do have a number of properties on our books outside of the British Isles, but we don't pretend to properly represent any location which is not within the United Kingdom or Ireland. If you are overseas you would be best advised to have a look at our links page. Look there for a library which is in your locality, and apply to them to represent you as a location.
