Are the houses rundown? Yes, but lacking ambience? Quite the opposite. From films and photoshoots to events and exhibitions, there’s space for every kind of creative here. Taking a look at the outside, these Victorian houses appear to be your average London homes, but inside they are derelict and full of character: the perfect backdrop.

The houses’ history

Shoots and events at Safehouse 1 & 2

  • PHOTOGRAPHY, FILM AND TV

    Fashion, foods, moods and more. These houses have long helped videographers, photographers and stylists achieve their required aesthetic for photoshoots and filming. The spaces are highly versatile and have appeared in many creative shoots, including Professor Green’s One Eye On The Door music video.

  • GALLERY AND EXHIBITION SPACE

    The houses are the perfect place to host a unique exhibition. Their flexibility and overall atmosphere add subtle undertones and a new mood to your showcase without distracting from your work.

Set the scene

Rundown to perfection. Drench your exhibition or shoot in shabby splendour.

These two semi-derelict Victorian houses sit side by side on Copeland Road in Peckham. While the ambience in the houses is very similar, Safehouse 1 is light with double-height ceilings in some places and Safehouse 2 is a slightly darker space. Whether you’re seeking the perfect lighting and backdrop for a shoot or a stripped back venue for an exhibition, the Safehouses will make you feel at home.

The houses are already a popular haunt amongst the photography, filmmaker, fashion and arts communities, and as word spreads, the venues have become a go-to for those craving a unique setting for one-off exhibitions.

Both venues can be booked in conjunction with the other with a discount, providing additional space with the same kind of atmosphere. Since the houses are semi-detached and the other sits just next door, you can keep it close to home at Safehouse 1 and 2.
