London Central London fitness shoot locations

[rgrebby]

I'm taking some pictures for a friend and her friend, they are both pretty decent fitness models so i'm looking for some interesting places to do some shoots.
Downside its this friday and the weather doesn't look great so ideally I need a mixture of some cool outside as well as somewhere we can go in the rain that will let us do the shoot.

Ideally I'm looking for walls, stairs, interesting beaten up places as well as some cool modern.

What about against / with some of those outdoor exercise equipment dotted around London?

Banksy's tunnel (as I've heard it called) is a graffiti tunnel on Leake Street under Waterloo Train Station.
It'll provide interesting backdrops, there are some concrete stairs and it'll provide shelter from any inclement weather.

That's an interesting idea, although light levels are low for most of the tunnel. I went there just a couple of weekends ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143909484@N04/albums/72157686713795213

There's also the House of Vans right next to it - they have an indoor skateboard area and a cool industrial + Cali culture vibe, and they might be willing to let you shoot in there.

South Bank for lots of walls and stairs, but you'll have to wait a while for the modern, as they're still building it

Some very good images there Toni, I have been there a number of times but not for quite a while the graffiti changes all the time of course I think I am overdue for another visit, maybe Sunday.

Horseguards Parade near victoria has got some interesting steps and walls, and round at victoria train station too. Might be a bit awkward with people around everywhere on a friday though.

The highwalks and areas surrounding Barbican are good for this kind of stuff, loads of options.
