Who knows a good outdoor carpark or rooftop location (for the least obtrusive shoot of all time)?

London based. This is for a web series sketch type of thing, done for the love of it only Two actors, three crew, no lights, nothin'. Run and gun. Not disruptive!

The idea is to have a very ultra-corporate-central-London feel (or view). Car park or open rooftop. "Smythe Crumb Flexidisc Quinn Harris and Partners Ltd" kind of feeling. I had a look at a couple of previous Asks and the rooftops I found are a bit too "furnished".

So the question is more like "have you ever met a building owner/manager of this sort of thing who is amenable to filmmakers and willing to let some in for a few hours for a bottle of wine or two?"

Thanks everyone!

You say the previous rooftops have been too furnished, what sort of feel are you going for? Do you haev specific stuff going on in your script that you need to do?

Off the top of my head, I'd suggest Dalston Roof Park:

Hi, thanks for your help so far guys. I'm looking for a relatively bare one (i.e. no garden, not too much attention paid to it for human use) that would imply the roof of a corporatey-banky building. Like where people go up for smoke breaks, but not a lot more than that. No specific stuff needed other than not feeling like a nicely finished patio or something. Or as close to that as we can get!

So in that vein, the area outside the seating at Frank's might do the trick! I'll look into it. Dalston looks really cool but a bit too cool for what we're looking for.

Anyone else have an idea? Thanks again!

I was privileged to go to Frank's (http://www.frankscafe.org.uk) at Peckham Rye (I know, right? Well, the kidz tell me its the new Hoxton...) - one of the most amazing carpark rooftop views of ALL of London you can imagine. Check it out, honestly, you will not regret it!
