About this location
Custom Lane is a creative co-working and cultural space in Leith, Edinburgh’s port district. The Exhibition Space at 60-person capacity and £214/morning is accessible for mid-budget productions. Custom Lane’s interior character — open-plan creative workspace, gallery-white exhibition areas, the visual register of a contemporary Edinburgh creative hub — suits productions requiring a modern arts or creative industry interior setting. The Leith location places this near the Shore and the Water of Leith, which provide exterior context distinct from the Old Town and New Town tourism environments. The morning-hire model suits productions that want a defined shoot window without committing to a full-day rate. Leith Walk and the Shore give the surrounding area a distinct residential-commercial character that contrasts with Edinburgh’s Old Town. EH6 postcode is accessible by bus from the city centre and Waverley station. Booking via Tagvenue; the exhibition format requires minimal set dressing for contemporary interior work.
