Welcome to Shangri-L’Arche, a fully blackout, immersive shoot space set inside a converted railway arch in South London. This is the sister studio and a short walk from the famous Shangri-la penthouse shoot location which many of you may have heard of and visited.
Designed for photography, music videos, and film production, the space offers a cohesive, visually rich environment where every angle connects — allowing you to move seamlessly between setups without losing the overall aesthetic.

The Space
Shangri-L’Arche is a blackout studio, giving you full control over lighting and atmosphere at all times.
The space features multiple built-in scenes, including:
• A large UV-reactive graffiti wall
• A glossy black reflective floor throughout
• A fully working black baby grand piano (centrepiece feature)
• A gold throne framed by a heart arch
• A curved white lounge set with stanchions
• A statement gold mirror
• A stylised poker table set with mannequins
• Sculptural props including plants and feature pieces
While there are multiple looks available, the key strength of the space is that it remains visually cohesive throughout — making it especially effective for music videos, fashion films, and continuous shoot narratives.

What Makes This Space Different
Unlike many industrial locations with separate, disconnected sets, Shangri-L’Arche is designed as a single, flowing environment.
You can shoot across multiple looks while maintaining a consistent visual identity, saving time and creating stronger final content.
The inclusion of a black baby grand piano as part of the set further enhances its suitability for music and performance-led shoots.
