Grays Inn Studio is based in King’s Cross, WC1X, and falls within the London Borough of Camden. A unique feature of the location is the top floor, a historic former hospital wing, this distinctive location combines original industrial character with contemporary, design-led interiors. With multiple interconnected rooms, abundant natural light and an impressive variety of textures, the property provides a highly versatile backdrop.
The interiors transition between clean, minimalist white spaces and beautifully distressed walls, while the building’s original hospital corridors retain their authentic architectural layout with a contemporary grey finish. A working artist’s studio provides an additional ever-changing creative backdrop, giving productions several contrasting looks within a single location. The south-facing aspect brings excellent natural daylight throughout many of the spaces, while good acoustic separation makes selected areas particularly useful for interviews, talking-head content and productions requiring clean sound.
One of the location’s standout features is its exceptionally long fire escape balcony, providing panoramic views across the City of London and towards Canary Wharf. The combination of elevated city views, industrial heritage and adaptable interiors makes The Surgeries particularly suited to productions looking for something more distinctive than a traditional studio environment. The location is experienced in accommodating crews, with a professional Location Manager on site to oversee productions.
Parking is available with four complimentary spaces on site, alongside two small car parks to the rear and additional local street parking. The nearest public transport link is King’s Cross St Pancras Station, located within easy reach of the property.
The property runs on a domestic power supply. Access is available from both the front and rear of the building, with concierge assistance available to direct production vehicles and crews on arrival. Equipment can be brought into the property via the stairs or industrial lift, although use of the vintage internal lift is restricted. Additional porterage or crew assistance for heavier equipment can be arranged in advance if required. Sound levels are generally good and suitable for sound filming.
