< Back to venues

In 1929, The Gramophone Company sought to create a new recording facility for its expanding roster of artists. Their search led them to London’s St. John’s Wood, and the purchase of an elegant Georgian town-house at No.3 Abbey Road. Within two years the house was transformed into EMI Studios, the world’s first purpose-built recording facility. The Studios have become a home to some of the most celebrated music recordings of all time. Abbey Road Studios is as iconic as the legendary artists that still record here every day. The Studios are now available for event hire for a limited number of opportunities each year.

Host your event at Abbey Road Studios and walk in the footsteps of legends. The most famous recording studio in the world is also available as a truly unique events venue. The legendary Studios One, Two and Three can easily be adapted to suit an array of corporate or private events; including dinners, receptions, conferences and live performances.

They also offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including our bespoke Record a Song Experience – which offers the opportunity to make music in the rooms famously used by artists including The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Adele, Amy Winehouse and Oasis.

Available spaces

Studio One

Originally built to record big bands and orchestras, Studio One is an impressive and inspiring space. Now regarded as the UK’s premier orchestral studio, it has witnessed the scoring of the greatest cinematic storytelling of the last 40 years. Spacious enough to accommodate large receptions, dinners and award ceremonies, Studio One has a grand and unique design, with an ambience all of its own.

It is the world’s largest purpose-built recording studio, used to record 100s of film scores, from the Harry Potter, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Series’, to Black Panther, 1917 and Skyfall. It was also used by The Beatles for the live global broadcast of All You Need is Love to 400m people

Studio Two

Synonymous with The Beatles, Studio Two is the most famous recording facility in the world, and has played an integral role in the development of modern music. Used by the Beatles throughout their career, the studio was also used by Pink Floyd to record The Dark Side of the Moon album. Artists from U2, Kate Bush, Oasis and Radiohead to Adele, Take That and Ed Sheeran have made Studio Two their creative home. This exclusive space is perfect for drinks receptions, intimate dinners and private performances, as well as press launches and screenings.

The Beatles recorded 190 of their 210 songs in Studio Two. The Beatles’ first album, Please Please Me was recorded in Studio Two in one day, with each Beatle paid £21 for the session. The beautiful wooden parquet flooring in the studio is original and helps create the famously ‘bright’ sound that characterises the room.
