Selfie Pod Hire London

The sleek, tablet-style photo booth your guests can use without a queue — compact footprint, instant prints, professional results.

Hayes-based selfie pod hire London for weddings, parties and corporate events across London and the Home Counties. A selfie pod is a sleek, free-standing photo booth built around a high-quality camera and a touchscreen — no booth walls, no curtain, just a clean modern pillar that fits any venue and works for any size of group, from solo selfies to a crowd of ten leaning in.

Where a traditional booth needs a corner and a queue, a selfie pod earns its keep in the middle of the room. Guests walk up, tap the screen, pose, and get an instant print plus a digital copy by AirDrop or email within seconds. It’s the format that works for venues where space is tight, footfall is high, and the look needs to feel premium rather than novelty.

Why Choose a Selfie Pod

Selfie pods solve three problems traditional photo booths can’t: space, throughput and aesthetic. The pod itself sits on a 50cm round base and stands roughly 1.5m tall, so it slots neatly into corners, against pillars, or in the middle of a venue without dominating the room. Without a curtain or walls, two groups can use it back-to-back in under a minute, and the modern pillar design photographs well in your own event photos rather than looking like a novelty booth in the corner.

It’s the format we recommend most often for marquee weddings, corporate venues with strict floor-plan rules, and events where the booth needs to look part of the styling rather than separate from it.

Perfect For

  • Weddings — especially marquees, intimate venues, or modern industrial spaces where a traditional booth would feel bulky
  • Corporate events — product launches, awards nights, AGMs, Christmas parties with brand-aligned printouts
  • Brand activations — shopping centres, festivals, exhibitions where space is at a premium
  • Engagement parties, hen and stag dos
  • Milestone birthdays — 18ths through 60ths
  • School proms and graduations

Selfie Pod vs Magic Mirror vs 360 Booth

Three of our most popular formats — all great, all different. Selfie pods are compact, fast, modern-looking and produce printed photo strips. Magic Mirrors are interactive full-length mirrors with animated voice prompts, great for novelty and unique full-body shots. 360 booths capture slow-motion video for social sharing rather than stills. For maximum guest engagement at larger events, couples often book the selfie pod for printed keepsakes and the 360 booth for video shares. Full range, including the Magic Mirror, is on our main photo booth hire London page.

Selfie Pod FAQs

How much space does a selfie pod need?

The pod itself stands on a 50cm round base and reaches roughly 1.5m tall. We recommend allowing 2m x 2m of clear floor space so guests can comfortably stand, pose and step away — ideal for venues where a full booth wouldn’t fit.

Do you provide printed photos or just digital?

Both, included as standard. Guests receive an instant 4"x6" or 2"x6" strip print and a digital copy via AirDrop, QR code, email or SMS. Unlimited reprints throughout the hire are included.

Can you customise the print design?

Yes — the print template is custom-designed around your event. Send us your names, event date, logo, brand colours or hashtag a couple of weeks ahead and we’ll have the layout ready on the day. Multiple template variants for different points in the evening (cocktail vs evening reception) are no problem.

Do you provide a backdrop?

The selfie pod works without a backdrop and looks great against any venue surface. If you’d prefer one, we can supply sequin, floral, plain colour, or brand-coloured backdrops by request — mention it when you book and we’ll bring it.

Does the pod need a power outlet?

Yes — a standard 13A socket within 5m. Most venues have plenty of options. If your event is outdoors or in a remote spot, let us know in advance and we’ll bring extended cables or arrange a battery solution.

Where do you cover?

Hayes-based, no travel surcharge across London, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Bedfordshire. Cotswolds, Gloucestershire and further afield by quote.

How long does setup take?

30–45 minutes from arrival. We typically arrive 60–90 minutes before your hire start time so we can position and test everything without disturbing your event. Packdown is similarly quick at the end.
