About this space

Studio 1 is the centrepiece of Dock Street Studios. It can easily house a full band for live recording, and equally provides excellent acoustics and separation for individual instrument recording or overdubbing.

​The control room is built around a beautiful SSL AWS-948 Console. It has the most acoustic treatment out of any room in Dock Street Studio. And it shows. Between the floating bass traps, absorption and reflection panels within the fabric walls designed by Nick Whitaker (Abbey Road, Olympic Studios and more) the room possesses an extraordinarily flat frequency response. This coupled with the Shadow Hills master compressor, Heritage Audio 1073s, BAE 10DCs, 1960's EMI valve pre-amps and much more, makes this control room one of the best around.

​The live room is home to a 1980 John Spencer upright piano, a wonderful Mk1 Fender Rhodes '73, and a 1960's Ludwig Hollywood drum kit which records brilliantly in situe. The studio 1 live room has a large vocal booth and is afforded excellent separation by two sets of acoustic sliding doors. This can be used for full cabinet guitar amps, or multiple singers/instrumentalists. The live room and control room are connected by a large viewing window to allow for maximum communication between the two rooms, while maintaining the near perfect separation that the sand-filled safe door provides the live room with.

Show cancellation details

Dock Street Studios is a freshly built recording studio complex in East London: two pinpoint accurate control rooms, together with two excellent live rooms, designed by Nick Whitaker and built by the Miloco Builds team. Located in Zone 1 of central London, with great transport links to the east and west of the city.

​The studios are the perfect place to create. There is a wide range of instruments, including an upright piano, a wonderful 73 Fender Rhodes, a 1960's Ludwig Hollywood Drumkit, with collection of guitars ranging from a 1970's 12 string Fender XII, to a 1960's Harmony Hollowbody. This is all matched by our selection of microphones and high-end outboard gear to record it with: Neumann U87, 1960's AKG 414EB, JZ Black Holes, a Shadow Hills master compressor, Heritage 8173 EQ pres and 1960s EMI valve pres, and more...

​All studio rooms are fitted with atmospheric Hue mood lighting to cater for any creative enviroment needed.
