5 Best Recording Studios in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Vespera Quill, Expert in Local Experiences and Cultural Analysis · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

London's recording studios split into two camps: rooms with decades of rock history in the walls, and newer setups built for a different kind of client, podcasts, ADR, voiceover. Ratings across this page's studios run from 4.6 up to a perfect 5, and review counts range from 30 to 82, small numbers by design in an industry built on repeat bookings and word of mouth rather than volume.

Short answer: London's top-reviewed recording studio is Soho Sonic Studios (4.9 stars across 82 reviews), a two-location music production and mixing studio with clients including Sony and the BBC. The Sound Company holds a perfect 5-star rating, and Soho Square Studios and Dean Street Studios both sit in the heart of Soho's historic studio district. Studio day rates in London typically start in the low hundreds of pounds and rise sharply for premium rooms.

How we rank these

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the studio’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many clients have rated it, measured against the other London studios on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on dozens of reviews carries a different weight than one from a single-digit handful. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does studio time cost in London? (2026)

Rates vary widely by studio tier, room size, and whether an engineer is included. Boutique and legacy Soho studios typically sit at the higher end, while smaller independent rooms cost less.

Recording studios across London

What to ask before you book a recording studio

Does the day rate include an in-house engineer, or is that billed separately?
What’s the cancellation or rescheduling policy if a session needs to move?
Is the gear list published, or do you need to ask what’s available in the room?
For film or TV work, does the studio handle ADR and audio post as well as tracking?
Is parking available nearby, or is public transport the better option?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these London recording studios?

We started from every recording studio in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we rank these above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which London studio is best for voiceover or podcast recording?

The Sound Company specializes in voiceover, ADR and podcast production and holds a perfect rating on this list.

Do any of these studios have music industry history?

Dean Street Studios and The Sound Company (formerly Advision Studios) both carry decades of recording history, with artists from David Bowie to classic rock acts having worked in their rooms.

The bottom line

Soho Sonic Studios is the safest all-round pick for music production given its review volume and client range, while The Sound Company and Dean Street bring specialist strengths in audio post and studio history. Confirm the room, engineer, and rate before you book.
