Since we became the world’s first recording studio, we’ve spent almost a century building the spaces, equipment and engineering expertise that music makers need to create and capture world-moving work.

Our studios have seen Elgar capture concertos, The Beatles break boundaries. Pink Floyd progress rock. They’ve pushed pop, soul and hip hop to new places with Gaga, Winehouse and Ocean. And with the scale of our studios, we’re able to capture the sound needed to move millions through film and games orchestral scores.

Our expert engineers and world-renowned gear help artists, performers, composers and producers release their vision and capture the truest possible version of it – from recording the first note, to mastering and beyond.

From writing rooms, to studios, to mastering suites. From smaller spaces to create in solitude, to the world’s largest purpose-built studio to capture at scale, this place was created as a testament to sound and a symbol of musical excellence. It’s as true today as it ever was.
