Studio Dean Street Opens in London

It will also be a central base for our film and media team, with production, screening and collaborative spaces to deliver its client work. 

More than 120 clients joined the opening, where each floor of the five-storey building offered entertainment, brand showcases and Worcestershire-themed food and drink reflecting the group’s roots.

The new Studios are also available to hire as a venue, with industry associations EVCOM and ICE already making the most of the space this month with AGMs and conferences. The central Soho location ensures that we at the beating heart of the UK’s film, media, and creative industries, making world-class talent and resources accessible on demand.

With our headquarters in Hartlebury, this new London space strengthens our commitment to innovation, giving our people, clients, and partners a world-class environment right in the heart of Soho.”
