Berry Street Studio is a recording facility in Clerkenwell, London, designed for professional music production. The space includes isolated recording areas and various technical setups suited to different types of sessions.
The studio opened in 1970 and became recognized during the 1980s when producer Dennis Bovell worked there specializing in British and Jamaican dub recordings. This period shaped the studio's reputation for particular production styles.
The space has long served as a gathering point for musicians across different genres working side by side on recordings. It reflects an open approach to music creation where diverse artists and techniques come together.
Visitors need to book a session in advance since this is a working recording space with limited availability. The facility is set up for serious music projects, so arranging time there requires planning ahead.
