Hi Shooters - I'm looking for a cheap abandoned warehouse type space in London, shooting soon. I would prefer to avoid location agencies. Would really appreciate recommendations and am open to ideas. Many thanks!

How abandoned? Big difference between empty but OK and structurally iffy. Big issue is insurance - the owner is fundamentally liable for anything that happens so as soon as you are looking at a building that could be in any way hazardous you need to know that YOUR cover, and health and safety rules and experience, will be sufficient to set their mind at rest.
If you just need empty, and can set dress to the desired state of abandonment, you should find it easier to find locations. (Empty units on occupied sites, just scout sites and ask at the office). But even then, esp if filming outside working hours, be prepared to have to pay for someone to be on site to ensure everything goes well. And have insurance.

Hi Marlom - thanks for the response. I'm looking for something structurally sound but just has the look of an abandoned warehouse space. I'm shooting a week day if that helps for info. Please let me know if you have any suggestions that are inexpensive. Many thanks
