The Vaults // Atmospheric Film & Photoshoot Location in Central London — SL – UK Location Broker offering Location Services for TV, Film and Media Productions

The Vaults is a striking film location hidden beneath the historic Ivory House in St Katharine Docks, central London. Spanning 10,000 square feet, this cinematic underground space features a dramatic series of ten interconnecting brick-lined vaults branching off a main tunnelled concourse. The raw industrial aesthetic, complete with vaulted ceilings and exposed original architecture, creates a visually rich environment ideal for shoots demanding atmosphere, texture, and scale.
As the only remaining original warehouse in the Docks, Ivory House is Grade II listed, and The Vaults beneath it retain all the character of over 160 years of London history. This timeless setting offers a compelling contrast between its heritage and recent state-of-the-art renovations. Despite its vintage charm, the space is fully equipped for modern production needs, including high-capacity power, fibre optic internet, and hybrid capabilities. With a flexible layout and a standing capacity of 450, The Vaults can easily be transformed to match a range of visual styles and production scales.
The Vaults offers an iconic and cinematic backdrop with a gritty, authentic atmosphere. Its central London location ensures easy access for production crews, while its size, layout, and film-friendly policies make it a versatile and accommodating choice for film, television, commercials, music videos, and content creation of all kinds.
