Model Agency London

For London-based productions, HHM can often propose suitable talent the same day once a brief has been confirmed. The depth of the London roster, built over more than 35 years, means even last-minute and urgent bookings can frequently be accommodated — particularly for commercial and specialist hand model briefs where the London talent pool is strongest. Under HHM's standard terms, provisional bookings will be automatically cancelled if they are not confirmed within 24 hours, so once talent has been penciled it is worth moving to confirmation quickly. For briefs that need specific physical attributes, disciplines or multiple talent types, earlier booking gives the agency more to work with. Where a specific model is critical to the creative, HHM recommends confirming a preferred alternative at casting.

Under HHM's standard Client Booking Terms, travel for same-day assignments is charged at £50 per hour for any shoot location outside a five-mile radius of Hyde Park Corner. Within that radius, travel is typically included within the agreed day rate, which is standard industry practice for central London productions. For assignments that require talent to travel to or from the shoot on the day before or after the assignment, travel is charged at half the normal daily rate for the whole travel day. Reasonable expenses incurred in fulfilling an assignment — food, per diem, rail, taxi, petrol — are added at cost to the invoice. For shoots requiring a car service, whether for location access or unsocial call times, this is agreed in advance and confirmed in writing before the booking.

HHM's London roster covers every commercial and specialist modelling discipline the agency represents — commercial advertising models, hand and body parts models, mature and classic, sports and fitness, clothing and ecommerce, tattoo, LGBTQ+, non-binary, disability and visible differences. The agency is particularly well known for its specialist hand model roster, which is among the deepest in the UK and enables fast turnaround for London productions requiring close-up specialist talent. For briefs that need multiple talent types, HHM can cast across all disciplines through a single agency relationship, simplifying administration and ensuring consistent contract terms throughout.

Models featured on the London section of the HHM roster are based across the capital — not travelling in from elsewhere. Because the roster is spread across different parts of London, the agency can generally identify talent who are relatively close to the shoot location, which helps with call-time planning and reduces unnecessary travel. For shoots requiring talent from outside London — for a specific look, discipline or brief — HHM can also arrange for models based elsewhere in the UK to travel in, with all travel arrangements and any associated costs confirmed in advance.

Yes — and this is one of HHM's core strengths for London productions. The agency was founded on specialist hand modelling and has operated as the UK's leading hand model agency since 1991. The London-based hand and body parts roster is the deepest in the country, covering hand, foot and leg, lip, eye and ear models alongside the full commercial book. Productions needing both specialist body parts talent and commercial models can be cast entirely through HHM, with a single point of contact managing the full brief. Where a commercial model with genuinely camera-ready hands is needed, HHM can often identify a single dual-specialism talent who delivers both.

HHM's standard cancellation terms apply to all London bookings. If a booking is cancelled more than seven days before the first service day, 50% of the total remuneration payable is due. Within seven days of the first service day, the full fee is payable. These terms apply regardless of location and regardless of the reason for cancellation on the client side. HHM recommends that production teams carry adequate production insurance to cover cancellation risk — this is the client's responsibility to arrange. Where a cancellation results from circumstances genuinely beyond the talent's or agency's control, HHM will always communicate openly and work to find the most practical resolution.

Under HHM's standard terms, unsocial hours are any hours worked between 6pm and 8am the following morning. Weekend and bank holiday bookings are charged at double the talent's normal negotiated day rate. These rates must be negotiated and agreed before the booking is confirmed rather than added after the shoot — so any production that anticipates an early call, a late wrap, or weekend work should flag it at quote stage to avoid cost surprises later.
