INDEXHelp with a location in London?

Hi there,
Does anyone know of anyone or anywhere where we could find an office that could resemble a CID inspectors office? We're preparing to shoot a promo for a crowdfunding campaign on our latest short 'I Am Sherlock Holmes'.
Any help would be much appreciated :)

CID offices are pretty uninteresting, with all the same crappy furniture we all have to use - perhaps a Regus or similar serviced office will help? You can dress it with piles of paper and box files and old coffee cups and whiteboards, etc.
Just a tip - you need to tiptoe around the Sherlock Holmes character in the USA, where the Conan Doyle estate maintain the character is still under copyright. It's a ridiculous situation - the original purpose of copyright was to encourage the creative to produce more works, something I doubt the author is worrying about any longer.
It was never about the third or fourth generation selling authoritative rights to an exploitation company in order to shake down productions. Thanks to the intense lobbying for copyright extension by Disney and friends, there's now a gap in public domain works since the 1920's. Remember, this is a Disney that drew heavily from public domain works - the hypocrisy is strong.
