More Than a Filming Location
This is not a modern bedroom decorated with a few retro objects. It is a complete storytelling environment originally created for Red Light Busking’s heritage exhibition, Kanda Vol.1: Bedroom Shut, Music Up.
The set recreates the bedroom shared by two Black British Caribbean brothers growing up in London during the early 2000s—the younger brother has recently completed his GCSEs, while the older brother is in prison. Its furniture, clothing, music technology, CDs, posters and personal objects evoke an era shaped by grime, UK garage, jungle, R&B, bashment, pirate radio and Channel U.
Developed through research and oral histories, the bedroom explores much more than nostalgia. It tells stories about music, education, identity, exclusion, resilience, family relationships and growing up in London at the beginning of a new century.
Whether you are recreating the period or looking for a visually distinctive setting, the bedroom gives your production an atmosphere and cultural authenticity that would be difficult to achieve in a conventional studio.
What Can the Space Be Used For?
The bedroom is suitable for:
Music videos
Filmed podcasts
Artist interviews

If you have a different creative idea, please contact us through Scouty to discuss whether the set can accommodate it.
A Set Filled With Camera-Ready Details
Every part of the room has been designed to help communicate the story of the period. Productions can capture wide shots of the complete bedroom as well as close-up shots of music equipment, physical media, posters, clothing and personal possessions.
Minor adjustments to movable props may be possible with prior agreement. Some objects are original, delicate or difficult to replace and must remain in their designated positions.
