E1 Council Double is based in Mile End, E1, and falls within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. This versatile East London location offers an authentic urban setting that can easily double as a traditional council house or council flat. Combining practical production facilities with a raw, adaptable aesthetic, the property provides a realistic residential backdrop.
The location features a range of interconnected spaces that can be dressed and adapted to suit a variety of creative briefs. Its understated interiors, industrial elements, and functional layout make it especially suitable for productions seeking an authentic, lived-in environment without the restrictions often associated with occupied residential properties.
A dedicated green room, hair and make-up area, and dressing room are available on the third floor, with lift access provided.
Parking is available on site for approximately four to six vehicles by prior arrangement. Street parking is also available, although council permits will be required. Equipment can be loaded directly into the building via the front shutter entrance, which can accommodate Luton-sized vans. The nearest public transport link is Mile End Underground Station, located within easy walking distance of the property.
The property runs on a domestic power supply with a three-phase supply available, including a 63A five-pin socket for larger production requirements. The building offers disabled access throughout the majority of the property.
Sound levels are generally very good for filming and sound recording, although occasional low-level noise from passing Underground trains may be audible.
