Serviced Apartments for Film Crew Accommodation in London
Film Cast & Crew Accommodation
Move-in ready serviced accommodation for cast and production crew on location in London and across the UK
Checkin Apartments specialises in film crew accommodation in London and beyond — sourcing, coordinating and managing fully furnished serviced apartments for visiting productions, broadcasters and media companies. From a handful of crew to a full unit, we handle staggered arrivals, varied stay lengths, direct billing and on-the-ground support through a single dedicated account lead.
Productions rarely land as one neat group on one set of dates. We build the whole booking around that reality, so your team has a comfortable, well-connected base to live, rest and prepare — and you have one less thing to chase.

Streamlined Production Billing
Lights, Camera, Checked In
Cast and crew arrive at different times, stay for different lengths and work to schedules that shift with the shoot. Hotels charge premium rates for exactly the flexibility a production needs and rarely give a team room to actually live. Serviced apartments are built for this: fully furnished, all-inclusive homes with a proper kitchen, laundry and space to work, booked and extended without the friction of hotels or private leases.
We regularly support visiting production, broadcast and corporate teams travelling into the UK — coordinating multiple apartments, staggered check-ins and checkouts, direct billing and hands-on guest support, all through one point of contact. Whether it’s a two-week commercial or a multi-month feature, we keep the unit together, on budget and looked after.

- Stay lengths from a few nights to several months in one booking
- Consolidated invoicing and reduced VAT on stays over 28 nights
- Private, spacious apartments that suit long shoot days
- One dedicated account lead from first enquiry to final checkout
