This Grade II listed, 5-storey Georgian townhouse, circa 1790, is a colourful period townhouse filming location in the heart of Margate’s art quarter in Kent. Originally built to mimic London townhouses as holiday homes for the city’s ‘discerning aristocracy’, it has been carefully restored with many original features, and its lime-plastered walls in unique, period-appropriate pigments give an eclectic bohemian look with multiple backdrops, suiting period drama, feature films, fashion and editorial photoshoots, commercials and interiors shoots.
