Metropolis was possibly the last great recording studio be built in London. Featuring four main / large recording studios and mix rooms it's one of the most impressive mastering studios in the UK too with several leading mastering engineers based at the facility. A large number of smaller and private studios makes this one of the major studio hubs in Europe.

Studio A, has a large live room , a dead room and a stone room (modelled on the classic Townhouse Studio Two stone room). The control room is over 80 square meters with separate machine and amp rooms. The studio has been designed by Sam Toyashima to maximise sight lines and communication with floor to ceiling glass between all areas including control room and studios and large daylight windows. The studio also features an exclusive private lounge complete with kitchen and bathroom looking down on to all of the studio areas so even the most reclusive artists can be able to work in privacy.

Studio A is the largest of the two main tracking rstudios at Metropolis. The bordering on huge control room houses an SSL 9072 J series console with PMC main monitors. Studio A has been popular with the industry’s biggest most private stars such as George Michael and Queen who recorded Innuendo and Listen Without Prejudice albums. The live room is also used for concerts and album playbacks.

Studio B is based around the classic SSL 4064 G Series console and features Genelec main monitoring. It has a very private feel and has its own private lounge and bathroom. The lounge can form an extension of the control room by opening the rear doors. The live area comprises a central live area surrounded by two spacious isolated areas that offer more controlled acoustics. As well as being a great tracking room, Studio B is one of the most sought after mix rooms in London. Notable clients include; George Michael, The Stone Roses, U2, Elton John, The Verve, Rihanna and will.i.am.
Our facilities include an iconic range of dynamic tracking and mixing studios, the best mastering suites found anywhere in the world, a series of new writing and production rooms available for short and longterm lease, and other serviced spaces for rent currently occupied by the likes of Roland and Spotify.
