We have a budget for the day shoot which is to be scheduled between 13th June and 22nd July
It is for an Indie feature film. We also seek a modern apartment in Vauxhall or Southwark area for half a day shoot. Any contacts most appreciated.

As someone whose worked in a jewellery shop in the past, I think you may struggled to find a friendly one. The security protocols required for the valuable stock make filming impractical, and a shop might be very wary and think that you are actually scoping the place for a robbery. You will need to convince them that you are genuine film makers with a definite project, and that you are crewing your project with folks that you really trust, and that you've got good insurance cover. Perhaps a walk around Hatton Garden might be a good place to start as that's the jewellery centre. But I fear it will take a while to find a shop that's prepared to lose business while you film. Hope that helps.

That's very fair comment. It can be tough to shoot in high end stores for various reasons. Hatton is and always has been very cautious for obvious reasons. I do remember a docu about Hatton a few years ago and they seemed super involved. I think it may have been BBC clout though. A jewellery shop in London doesn't have to been in London. It could be anywhere and with the right pre-planning and lighting it will work.
