Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Nearby historic houses include Athlone House (1.6 miles south-west) and Witanhurst (1.6 miles south). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. For crew arriving by train, Alexandra Palace station is about 1.1 miles away.
This part of Greater London takes in N10, N2 and N8, so your shoot can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Cecil Road, The Avenue and Elgin Road, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Muswell Hill sits on or near the A504, which makes travel to your shoot easy. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Fortis Green (1 mile west), Hornsey (1 mile east), Crouch End (1 mile south-east), East Finchley (1 mile west) and Highgate (1 mile south).

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Muswell Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
