What London actually needs
Tight windows and long runs.
London venues are rarely difficult technically. What makes them different is the access. Load-in windows are short and often overnight, freight lifts are booked by the hour, and the distance from the door to the room can be longer than the cable run inside it.
So the planning is about the building rather than the broadcast. Which entrance, which lift, what time, who signs us in, and what the venue needs in writing before any of that happens. We would rather have that sorted a fortnight out than negotiate it at a barrier.

London questions.
Which venues have you worked in?
The O2, Wembley Arena and ExCeL among them, plus theatres, conference venues and corporate offices across the city.
Can you handle a night-time load-in?
Yes, and in central London it is often the only option. It affects crew hours, so we build it into the plan rather than treating it as a surprise on the day.
What paperwork will the venue want?
Insurance certificates, RAMS and method statements, which we send with the quote rather than waiting to be asked. Most London venues will not let a crew through the door without them.
