Located in the heart of London’s Chinatown, Opium is a distinctive multi-level cocktail bar and restaurant offering a unique and atmospheric setting for filming, photography, music videos, commercials, content creation and private productions.
Spread across multiple beautifully designed spaces, the venue combines rich Asian-inspired interiors, dramatic lighting, intricate details and an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere. Each area has its own character, providing a variety of backdrops and filming possibilities within one location.
The venue is particularly well suited to film and photo shoots looking for something visually striking and different from a traditional London bar or restaurant. From close-up product and food photography to fashion shoots, music videos, branded content and larger productions, Opium offers a versatile backdrop with plenty of visual detail.
Its central Chinatown location also makes it convenient for production teams, with easy access to the West End and surrounding areas.
