Lights, camera… Ministry! Whether it’s blockbuster action, TV drama, or a music video that needs a dose of authentic atmosphere, our venues have stepped up to the task more times than we can count. Ministry of Sound and The Ministry in London offer filmmakers a unique blend of energy and versatility, making them popular choices for filming locations in the UK. From gritty urban scenes to glitzy music videos, we’ve been the backdrop for unforgettable moments that just wouldn’t be the same anywhere else.
A Filmmaker’s Playground
Well, for starters, we don’t just “look the part”—we are the part. The Ministry’s unique vibes deliver a charm that directors crave, while Ministry of Sound serves up that unmistakable club energy (and yes, the sound system can handle it). We know that finding the right filming location in London can make or break a production, so our venues know how to transform, whether you’re after an exclusive bar, blank white space or a place that screams “party.”
Stories Told Through Our Spaces
Over the years, our spaces have been featured in a range of films, TV shows, and music videos that span different styles and stories. Take The Dark Knight, where a gritty club scene brought Gotham’s underground atmosphere to life in The 103. Or The Inbetweeners 2, where our venue played the club where Jay was secretly working as a toilet attendant, setting the stage for some classic awkwardness.
And then there’s Ted Lasso, where our rooftop bar provided the perfect setting for a memorable comedic moment, adding a touch of character to the show’s feel-good humor. We’ve also hosted scenes from Welcome to the Punch, Greed, Trance, and the classic Spice World, each taking full advantage of our unique layout and atmosphere. When Chemical Brothers’ “Hey Boy Hey Girl” needed a venue that could match the track’s energy, the club provided the perfect pulse.
It’s All in the Details
Our venues come with built-in character. The 103 at Ministry of Sound boasts a dynamic lighting rig that can be customised to create different moods, whilst The Ministry’s exposed brick, industrial finishes, and spacious layout offer a striking backdrop for more dramatic narratives.
Our state-of-the-art sound systems ensure that the audio quality is just as immersive as the visuals, making our spaces the go-to choice for London music video shoots as well as film and TV production. And, with flexible configurations, you can easily switch up the look and feel, whether it’s transforming a dance floor into a high-stakes action set or turning a meeting room into a stylish loft apartment.
