Maida Vale Studios, Recording studio in City of Westminster, United Kingdom
The complex contains seven sound studios, with Studio MV1 accommodating an orchestra of 150 musicians and an audience of 200 people.
Originally constructed as a roller skating palace in 1909, the BBC purchased and converted the building into recording studios in 1934.
