Metropolis Studios, Recording studio in London, United Kingdom
Metropolis Studios is a recording studio in London housed in a converted power station building. It contains multiple specialized rooms equipped with modern gear for recording, mixing, and mastering work, including facilities for stereo and spatial audio formats, plus private spaces for different production needs.
The studio was established in the 1980s inside a large power station and has operated for over three decades. During this time it became one of the UK's largest and most influential recording facilities, supporting countless artists in creating chart-topping music.
The name Metropolis comes from its location in a former power station that became a creative hub. Visitors notice how the shared bar area and communal spaces serve as gathering points where artists, producers, and crew naturally connect between sessions.
Visitors can book access-all-areas tours to see how professional music is made in the studio spaces. The best time to visit is when no active recording sessions are underway, which makes for a more comfortable and relaxed tour experience.
The studio offers an online mastering service for artists worldwide, bringing professional audio quality at lower costs. The Metropolis Black program supports new and unsigned artists specifically with recording and releasing their first tracks, helping them grow and build confidence.
