If you're producing a shoot in London and looking for hand, foot, commercial, or other body parts model talent, this page covers how HHM operates in London — the depth of the local roster, how London logistics work, and what production teams should know at brief stage.
London's Specialist and Commercial Model Agency
HHM is an independent specialist modelling agency based in London, with over 35 years of direct working relationships with production companies, photographers, casting directors, and creative agencies across the capital. The agency was founded in 1991 on specialist hand modelling, and the London roster now covers every commercial and specialist discipline HHM represents — commercial advertising models, hand and body parts models, mature and classic talent, sports and fitness, clothing and ecommerce, tattoo, LGBTQ+, non-binary, disability and visible differences. Where a production needs talent across multiple disciplines, a single agency relationship covers the full brief with one point of contact and one invoice.
Travel and London Production Logistics
HHM's London talent is based across the capital rather than travelling in, which helps production teams plan call times around talent who are already relatively close to the shoot location. Where a brief requires a specific look, discipline, or attribute that isn't matched by London-based talent, HHM can arrange for models based elsewhere in the UK to travel in, with all travel arrangements and any associated costs confirmed in advance.
For shoots within a five-mile radius of Hyde Park Corner, travel is typically included within the agreed day rate, in line with standard industry practice for central London productions. Outside that radius, travel time is charged at £50 per hour under the agency's standard Client Booking Terms. For assignments requiring talent to travel to or from the shoot the day before or after the shoot day, 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 involving very early call times, late finishes, or locations difficult to reach by public transport, a car service may be required — HHM discusses and confirms this at booking stage rather than on the day. Where talent need additional travel support due to age, ability, or injury, production cars are provided at the client's cost. All logistics are confirmed in writing before the booking is finalised.
