Live streaming studio
in London.
Broadcast-quality webcasts, virtual keynotes and hybrid events, produced from a Southbank studio or onsite at your venue. Built for technology vendors, channel partners and analyst firms that cannot afford a stream to wobble.
What live streaming actually means when we run it
Most "live streams" are a laptop webcam pointed at an executive, OBS on a producer's desktop and a prayer that nobody's kids start shouting in the background. We run live at broadcast standard — multi-camera switching, properly lit talent, engineered audio, redundant capture and encoding, and a stream target that has been tested against the actual audience network. The result looks like television, not a Zoom call someone forgot to mute.
From our Southbank studio, we run regular webcasts for enterprise vendors (Lenovo, NetApp, TD SYNNEX), panel productions for analyst firms, channel partner summits and product launches that need to hit a global audience in a fixed time slot. We also travel — onsite broadcasts from tech conferences, customer events and trade shows, across the UK and Europe.
Services we run live
- Virtual keynotes and product launches — multi-camera, branded graphics, rehearsed run-of-show, simulcast to LinkedIn, YouTube and a bespoke player.
- Webinars and thought-leadership panels — up to six remote panellists, live Q&A moderation, post-event registrant reports.
- Hybrid events — in-room audience plus a streaming audience, identical production value for both, proper IMAG screens and confidence monitors.
- Channel partner summits — multi-session, per-session gating, moderated breakout rooms, sponsor roll-ins.
- Analyst day and investor relations broadcasts — regulatory-grade recording, transcription, embargoed replay.
- Trade show and conference coverage — roving reporter, interview booth, same-day edit packages.
How streams stay live when they matter
The difference between a stream that works and one that doesn't shows up in the infrastructure nobody sees. Every onsite broadcast runs with a primary wired circuit and a bonded cellular backup that engages automatically. Every camera has a local ISO recording so the full edit survives even if a feed drops. We use hardware encoders, not laptops, and we run two of them in parallel when the stakes justify it. Our studio manager is on the floor at every broadcast — not a vendor you've never met.
In twelve years of production we have not had a client stream fail. That is not luck. It's rehearsal, redundancy and the discipline to turn down projects where the brief only comes together the morning of the broadcast.
The Southbank studio
Our base studio sits on the Southbank in central London, a short walk from Waterloo, Blackfriars and Southwark stations. Talent gets dressing and green-room space, producers get a proper gallery, and remote attendees get a broadcast that looks like it came from an established TV facility — because it did. For shoots that need a different environment, the virtual production LED volume sits alongside, so we can place presenters in a bespoke graphical set without leaving the building.
Who we run live for
The client mix is roughly 60/40 enterprise technology vendors and their partner ecosystem. Lenovo, NetApp, TD SYNNEX, BCN, SnapLogic, Bell Integration and Greenpixie are all recent examples. What they share is subject-matter depth — the panellists are deep in cloud, cybersecurity, AI infrastructure or data platforms, and the audiences are equally technical. Our crew speaks the category; we don't need the brief explained twice.
Getting a stream booked
Most engagements start with a fifteen-minute conversation about the outcome — leads, brand lift, partner enablement, product launch reach — before we talk about camera counts or stream platforms. Single webcasts can be booked inside two weeks. Retained series clients plan a quarter ahead and lock in studio dates to avoid the day-rate creep that happens when you book three weeks out. Pricing is transparent and day-rate led, with every line on the quote declared.
Live streaming, answered.
How much does a live stream in London cost?
Single-camera webcasts from our studio start at £1,800 for a half-day with engineer, stream platform and recording. Multi-camera panel productions with graphics and switcher typically run £3,500–£7,500 per day. Onsite broadcasts at a client venue depend on crew and kit — a two-day enterprise launch with redundant capture usually lands between £12,000 and £22,000. No hidden post-event invoices.
Can you stream to LinkedIn, YouTube, Teams and a bespoke player at the same time?
Yes. We use a multi-destination encoder that can simulcast to the major social platforms, a Microsoft Teams live event, a Vimeo or custom CDN player, and a private client login gate — in parallel, from the same broadcast feed. Audiences on different platforms see identical timing and graphics.
What happens if the venue internet drops mid-broadcast?
Every onsite stream runs with a primary circuit (wired) and a bonded 4G/5G backup that kicks in automatically. In twelve years we have not had a stream drop on a client. If the worst happens, we always capture the ISO feed locally, so you still have the full recording to publish.
Do you handle moderated Q&A, audience polling and registration gating?
All three. We run the registration landing page, send calendar invites, moderate Q&A and chat through the stream window, and feed audience questions to the presenter via confidence monitor or Slack. Post-event, you get a per-question and per-registrant report.
Where is the studio and how do crews access it?
Cargo Works, 1-2 Hatfields, London, SE1 9PG — on the Southbank, walkable from Southwark (closest), Waterloo and Blackfriars. Load-in is step-free, talent has dressing and green-room space, and kit can stage from the day before if schedules require it. Full access details go out with every confirmed booking.
Can we record a live stream and edit it into on-demand content afterwards?
Yes — that is how most of our clients get the best return on the day. We capture ISO feeds per camera plus a clean programme output, cut episode-length pieces, extract social shorts with subtitles, and deliver a documentary-style highlights reel. Turnaround is five to ten working days depending on the edit brief.
